The Quotes Garden – Poems in a verse - [ XVI ] - Choirs
The Quotes Garden
*** Part II – Poetic lines in a verse ***
*** Choirs ***
“Trembling whispers, sinking in the ruby meadow; –
***
Beneath, wise snails gather in circles for confession,
***
Drilling earthworms twist great golden maidenhair,
***
Old runes glitter dreamy dew embroidery – and tinkle;
***
- There, thy steps, near the sacred root, the praying mantis,
***
With hymns, the sultry leaves bow to a sudden whirl –
***
When drops of rain, stir lumpy echoes, wake cicadas,
***
Lose path and crushed twigs unleashing sighing cricket,
***
My heart is slowly humming, to fill the missing choirs…”

My Old Friend
One can never ask
For such things as
When we are given
The right time and
The right place perhaps
We were fortunate then
We are fortunate now
We’ve known each other
For a long, long time
Since before we were born
Since before the grave
How else can we describe
The life we were given
The childhood memories
Growing up on the same street
Living next door to each other
Playing with our matchbox toys
In a pile of sand
Left over by the plow
There were spring tulips
And tender green meadows
And our summer gardens
Then the stiff leaves rustling
In the chilly fall air
The big snowstorms brewing
And our snow forts
The street lights burning
Above our blue igloos
There was you my friend
And there was me
For such things as
When we are given
The right time and
The right place perhaps
We were fortunate then
We are fortunate now
We’ve known each other
For a long, long time
Since before we were born
Since before the grave
How else can we describe
The life we were given
The childhood memories
Growing up on the same street
Living next door to each other
Playing with our matchbox toys
In a pile of sand
Left over by the plow
There were spring tulips
And tender green meadows
And our summer gardens
Then the stiff leaves rustling
In the chilly fall air
The big snowstorms brewing
And our snow forts
The street lights burning
Above our blue igloos
There was you my friend
And there was me

A little nostalgia for the girl next door.The Quotes Garden – Poems in a verse - [ XV ] - The Nightingale
The Quotes Garden
*** Part II – Poetic lines in a verse ***
*** The Nightingale ***
“Odd philomel, psalming to God, –
***
Beloved muse, to carry dying roses –
***
Night’s vault fills star’s angelic tune,
***
While cricket’s weep, to listen your meak;
***
- O, birdie, crush me among the strings,
***
A broken violin, blind, deaf, and mute; –
***
Which of my heart, like the morning star sings,
***
Which of my mind, in a cradle, a soothe,
***
If not only my nightingale’s merciful beak?..”

I’m not ready…yet.
Betwixt and between,
The future – unseen –
I dare not believe it could be.
Should I go, should I stay?
Not sure what to say.
He doesn’t know aught about me.
I do, and I don’t,
I will, but I won’t.
What shall become of me then?
There’s no use denying;
I’d only be lying
If I said I was ready again.
I‘m good on my own.
But to not be alone
Would be my ideal remedy.
A friend who’s just right
Would be a delight.
But my wavering mind foils me.
The future – unseen –
I dare not believe it could be.
Should I go, should I stay?
Not sure what to say.
He doesn’t know aught about me.

The GOD within us.
He doesn’t impose, He doesn’t demand,
He only persuades; with a gentle hand
The God within us tries to guide our path.
His presence is silence, His touch is slight;
Forever invisible, whether day or night.
Yet still is able to fashion our heart…
If only we would let Him.
The GOD within us is a gift from above,
Given as a promise by the GOD who is Love.
Such a gift is priceless, and we’ll never know its power
If we don’t acknowledge it's worth.
He only persuades; with a gentle hand
The God within us tries to guide our path.
His presence is silence, His touch is slight;
Forever invisible, whether day or night.
Yet still is able to fashion our heart…
If only we would let Him.
The GOD within us is a gift from above,
Given as a promise by the GOD who is Love.
Such a gift is priceless, and we’ll never know its power
If we don’t acknowledge it's worth.

The Quotes Garden
*** Part II – Poetic lines in a verse ***
*** Life ***
“So many bees, to live, as many souls, to fill the Heaven!..
***
The Holy Spirit nurtures everything, in world of man –
***
Blessed one, this life a Suffering, as the one after, is Love!
***
Three lives, a human has to find, from such a Wisdom!
***
- As if there is one Cradle of Birth; – whispering womb,
***
Deeper the meaning, a newborn to the Light, the pulsing core;
***
Not more, nor less than what a heartbeat, in the music, heals, -
***
O, Soul, at last! A hummingbird into sunflower’s oasis:
***
Waving Ocean of bliss, binding my heart into a whole.”

Do you see ME?
In a photo, on the roadway,
On a bus or car or plane.
Do you see ME? Am I what you think?
Clearly envisioned, even when you blink?
The ME that you see, may not really be
The true representation of who you’d hoped
So don’t be afraid to look deeper.
The search for the ‘truth’ is never just a quick grope
In the dark; it’s hidden behind a few layers.
Let your search be certain, let your eyes look deep.
Not just admire the surface, but also see what’s beneath.
The ME that you see isn’t all that there is…
On a bus or car or plane.
Do you see ME? Am I what you think?
Clearly envisioned, even when you blink?
The ME that you see, may not really be
The true representation of who you’d hoped
So don’t be afraid to look deeper.
The search for the ‘truth’ is never just a quick grope
In the dark; it’s hidden behind a few layers.
Let your search be certain, let your eyes look deep.
Not just admire the surface, but also see what’s beneath.
The ME that you see isn’t all that there is…

“A Breath of Life, surrounding my being –
***
O, thirsty Soul, find the Fountain of Wisdom!..
***
Which one, the drop, - which one, the Oasis?..
***
Harmonious rhythm, pulse from the core…
***
- Stirring echo; vibrating heart, rest, silent –
***
In a blink of an eye, my mind sinks deeper;
***
Where is the orphaned child? In which cradle?..
***
All around me, seems to chirp, uttering God.
***
In the eyes of a baby, whole Reality unfolds…”
