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…”

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?..”

“From life to death, a deeper meaning, –

From death to Life, the real blessing! –

A saint once said no higher wisdom,

Such divine beast, in world of man!

- If there a wish for me, the sinful one,

I want to learn such Lore, to slowly wither,
***
I want to feel such way, to kneel my pride; -
***
O, Soul, what is to be a Shadow, whilst alive,
***
To sing forgotten Language of the grave… ”

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.

“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.”

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 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…”

Southern Santa
About time we had a southern Santa
he can come from the South Pole
dressed in red and white board shorts
given its summer and all
a little sun tan going on would do him good
he always looks so damn pasty
penguins instead of reindeer
no-one has a chimney here any more
so he can leave gifts at my back door
hell I've been good all year Santa
hardly been a ranter
sticking to the Fanta
just a little banter
take life at a canter
Enough!

“Learning Death whilst alive, there is the Gate Keeper –
***
In the world of man, a Shadow, uttering a blessing:
***
Oh, sing to our Lord, lofty peaks of the Realm!..
***
Sing to our Lord, deep valleys full of sweetness!..
***
- Nine Skies under Heaven; only one here, to marvel!
***
Lord Jesus, forgive Thy servant, unworthy, and sinful!..
***
God, forgive all my enemies, for they are just cruel friends;
***
God, bless those who curse or harm me, to know Thy Mercy!
***
God, bless those who envy or hate me, to know Thy Love!”
