Golden letters swirl along, their magickal energies mingling
Dancing, twirling, pirouetting to the piper's melodies
On the breath of air that captivating one poised quill
Of the wordsmith as it stands poignantly to attention
Language clear and consicely woven to their new ability
Words weighted and whispers yearning to be heard
A sound that is half-spoken, softly sung, knowing that
What's been written has been done to the extremes of
The quill that screams as it stresses the powerful strain
Of Magic within its power, and all it needs is a finishing touch
Where the rhymes can speak for themselves, emphasizing, Hot
Too much?

As the piper concludes his Scottish tracks,
The words form a message saying 'God has got your back'
Diplomacy in the art of tact, security in knowing that
Mingling energies coinsided, work together, not trying to hide it
The words themselves know what to do, its about piecing together
Chips and part of the puzzles that fall on through
But as the feathered quill darts and trusts in the innate gift
That doesn't collect more dust, the enigmatic inspiration of
Introspection that pours through this stanza thus, has
Powered many that drink the potions of collected lust
And by the darkness of the sky itself, the piper has laid down
His pipes to respect the health of the listeners that do connect

To retain a sense of peace within the air from which,
The dead, they call, simply to encourage, uplift and help us all
The last position recalled on the listening ear,

But not everyone will hear the sound of the pipes far and wide, transported back to the days of depression, poverty and when times were hard
From the days when one could hear the music from their own
Backyard
From when one could rest easy and leave the window open for the music to drift in, and answers could be found in the silence from when spirit whispered memories bathed in love
Silent messages that came in on the wings of a white dove

That brought in the symbolism of peace and a trusted source
Of a lesson in life, not knowing the consequences of what was wrought, the pain and the hurt from that lesson was taught
And in the silence, the answers were sought, in that one memory, life was indeed, caught, but if it weren't for us listeners
Then it would've been all for naught

Once I was an earthly man standing on my own. I thought I just had everything, but yet I stood alone. I had my car, My money, I had my family too. Just one thing I didn't know the devil had me too, He helped me lie, he helped me cheat and steal. He helped me do those earthly things in hopes to make a deal.
Then some people sent my God, showed me where I stood, I would not listen to what they said. I thought I was just too good. But when I was down and left all alone I remembered what God's people said and how to get along, I had to come to the cross just as Jesus did and asked the Lord to forgive my sins just so I could live.
Now I walk and talk with my Lord. Every single day and he gives me what I need when I humble myself and pray.

When I listen to the sounds of rain,
I can hear a music of peace.
It whispers to me as if -
"All will be over again"
I will listen to the music of rain
And its water,
Coming from heaven,
Flow through my hands.
There always comes a sunrise
After any sunset.
Let every destiny be blessed
Just listen to the music of rain

May the tickboxes in your wishlist
be greatly reduced this coming new year...
May it be more bountiful
with what is genuinely best for you,
as your wellbeing is
precious & most dear ...
And may your life be in an even better place
with whoever & wherever
towards your destiny
the winds of fate will steer ....
All these and more,
I wish for you ... with intentions
wellmeant ... heartfelt ... and sincere ...

Love comes in many forms
Be it love for the sun, the moon and stars
Some love their cars

We are blessed with unconditional love from The great I AM
who also creates spectacular sunsets.
And for some their beloved pets

Many of us love the arts, be it painting, writing, music, song and dance
We come here to enjoy them all, whilst seeking the one that will fulfil our desire for companionship, fun and true romance

May you all be blessed enough to be loved and to love in return

In a seemingly crazy world ,may we not necessarily forget but strive to overcome our yesteryears
Move on in unity and peace with love for our fellow human beings instead of being crippled by hatred and fear
On this our borrowed land that’s been stained by innocent shed blood and drenched from grieving wept tears
Move forward together,irrespective of when or where one came, what was brought or sought

Some may abuse generiousity but in a world of such inequality,injustice, how can we just look the other way,bury our heads in the sand
For who does it all really belong to anyway, why not offer a helping hand ?
Who gave a Robin his song to be sung and who can say where he was born is where he shall only belong ?
And, whos place is it to declare, to shout, or say who is really right, or who is wrong ?
Who shall throw the first stone, if the truth be known who is right to cast any blame ?
Who really deserves to be clothed in robes made from shame ?

We’ve had too many wars where the heavy burden of evil came to rest upon the shoulders of young soldiers
Who believed and declared that peace was the food they fought for, I wonder how it tasted
when so many gifted lives around them were cut down in their prime so tragically wasted ?

Where did the melting pot go, does anyone know ?
Does it, or should it matter who is right or wrong ?
Or, from which religious organization you may, or may not belong
Who said we must humiliate,segregate, isolate, kill, destroy
someone else’s prescious, beloved girl or boy.

We cannot change the past only try to change the future,have hope and a purpose for which to aim
So let us all rise up against such evil, stop playing this destructive blaming, shaming game.
Stand up and be counted, claim victory, wear a crown of great pride and dignity again
Let’s not waste time trying to propagate,exterminate but instead try protect the children of the future, try embrace
And do so now, today, before all of tommorows promises expire, vanish, gone without a trace !

Happiness lies in the simple things in life -

hearing birdsong when one awakens in the early morning
observing the morning sun creating diamonds from dewdrops
seeing a baby's smiling face
watching a spider spin its web
feeling the bark of an old faithful tree
watching baby animals at play
being dazzled by brilliant sunshine
streaming from a clear blue and white sky

Cracked pepper, just a memory
your reflection in stainless steel
all may yield few clues
birth of a test pilot's angst
in radiation blue
this lime lime resonance
is a song to fully appease
stirring the crowds at 45 rpm
load and reload boys
a witching in the switchgrass
cocaine copters
out on the delta
sky black, hijack
gone like DB Cooper
who would have guessed it
who could have breathed it
message for 2024
sleep with your boots on

I stood at the edge of the cliff top
Watching, waiting as life slipped on by, through
My fingertips, as I stood, mesmerized
By the beautiful sunset in the sky

Captured in these times ahead,
The sunlight beams as the sun has wed,
A new dawn is coming, transferring to the new night
That wanders in, bringing with it
A sense of the blues as the warning spotlight gleams
Through the clouds, searching
For me, for my own stupidity

As I gaze at the scene unfolding below
Nobody knows which way I'm meant to go
It could be Death for its incessant taking
It could be me wondering why I'm here, just waiting
It could be Life for its endless ways of nagging
Frustrating choices are afoot, no way of telling
What's kaput, as the wisdom hails in from the West
On a startling new revelation

I blink, thinking that I'm too late in reminding myself
And preparing my fracture mind for humiliation
Too late in preparing for the powers that be to decide
My fate, needless to say should I now just wait?

I step back, realizing that the choice is within me
The power that I had has gone with the rightousness of the sun
Knowing that the worst is yet to come, as the storm
And I become One, melding and aligning as the rain
My fears becoming tears of what's collected over the years
As the rain pelts, one by one, I'm sure in knowing what I've done
Or was about to do, the momentum hits me deep within
An aching heart, but I'm not here to win

I'm here on this Earth to be loved and to love,
To learn about what's sent from the Universe above
A collective consciousness, not to throw away in a game
Of chance, where entitled wits don't stand a lasting thought
Where none of my enemies end up being caught
And where love prevails the sense of injustice, serving
The beauty of Karma in all its reigning heights, bringing
A new beginning a chapter unravelled, I stretch my fingertips
To grasp out right, as they flow through the words that are typed
Which remain golden

I watch as those golden words dance in front with all possibilities in action too,
a sense of hope fills me and my soul anew
Reality has changed from one stance to another, wherein
The spotlight has gone and I run away from the scene and duck
For cover, my wits are with me now, as the storm passes by
Its gone in an instant with a blink of my eye.

I realize now that the storm wasn't on the outside raging on
But it was more in the mindset, within the realms of this verse
Words that will call out to many that hope to be heard
An emotional battle of self-control it would seem that
Not everything is as it stands in your everlasting dreams

This consciousness knows that to be true
And its only you who can rewrite the future as to how you want it, too
Whether that's by setting up boundaries and holding to your close
The friends and family who you hold dear the most
Those that you count as soul family too will always be with you
Through the hard times and good, they won't leave you stranded
As some folk ordinarily would

Its time to end this poem now for good or for the bad,
Think of the times you shared between the happy and the sad
Be glad of the memories made for all within and involved
May the problems that aren't problems feel as though they've been solved
May resolutions be found and solutions solve what's not been solved,
May you find hope and peace, happinness, within the depth of your soul
May you not wonder about what might have gone wrong
May you find inner freedom within the words that belong

Raspberries in the lane
fruiting wildly under the sun
I have my eye on them
but I suspect the children will have them
it makes me happy
that someone had the foresight
to plant out this public space
curing the neighborhood
of drab fences and grass strips

last week we planted hibiscus
their flowers are ephemeral
but so patently joyful
I hope they survive the cool winter
its marginal to grow them here
better somewhere warmer but we will see
winter being far off
cast the blues away!
