*** Part II – Poetic lines in a verse ***
*** Confession ***
“An ocean of glass, in world of man; thy Soul is restless? –
***
Thine savage among all, wilderness to feel my freedom;
***
Cruelty is known to any whole nature uttering Sufferance;
***
- Being my Shadow, each breath brings us closer to the grave; -
***
Loving Sorrow, both - glimpse of happiness, dead whilst alive,
***
- Oh, you blessed! If I won’t be so dark, how would you shine?!
***
Here, the foul, - worst, - an idiot forgiving all his enemies, beloved!
***
O, you’ll never love this crazy one who even bless our tyrants,
***
Nor such beast, wicked, haughty, – sinful, bitter, so you may judge!”

That’s true, but…
If it’s important to me,
If it’s my way of expressing my joy;
If I feel that it’s between me and HIM,
Then what’s the harm? What’s it to you?
I’ll do me, and you should do you.
Yes, I know that it's not HIS birthday;
And the day isn't as important as the event.
HE didn’t say that we should remember HIS birth.
He did say that we should remember HIS death, and resurrection.
That’s true, but isn’t HIS birth and life significant events as well?
Isn’t it true that His birth made the rest of it possible?
Do you think that HE would love me less if I celebrate all of it.
I don’t think so, so I’ll take my chances.
I’ll just share my joys and wishes with those who feel the same.

The Quotes Garden
*** Part II – Poetic lines in a verse ***
*** Odes ***
“A lyre bird, missing her poet; – wild hearts, stir echoes:
***
Where’s my beloved, into which sigh, shall I bless it?!
***
Taming feathers gather strings, to a lyrical nature,
***
- The wind enwraps emerald ferns, hiding a muse;
***
There comes the bridal suite, in the kingdom of the moss,
***
Where the rain drops wisdom, soothing broken lives,
***
Where just few blades whisper, keeping lore who thrives, -
***
But for such a blessing, love, to Whom should we thank?..
***
To our Lord in Heaven, praised be! – together we sang!.. – ”

The Quotes Garden
*** Part II – Poetic lines in a verse ***
*** Hymns ***
“Weeping crickets mourn a grave into the meadow; –
***
Alone, at last! A rusty cross awaits my autumn’s cry,
***
Amber leaves twisting around the sparkles in my eye,
***
- And sudden, I remember; a blade of grass, - my seal.
***
There’s something to resemble, into a silent prayer?..
***
Bowing my brow, to kiss the ground, to vow returning,
***
My fingers grasp the secrets of the dew, gathering pearls, -
***
O, hymn of cruel fate! Thy blessing! Thank you, Lord!
***
Poor heart, do not despair, - in Suffering, rejoice!..”

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

“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?..”

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.

*** 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.”
