Kinderling Poetry (6)

We are travlin
this road
together
and there's love here
to discover
WHO WE ARE

And together
we possess
all the knowledge
to recover,
what we were missing
when we were growing
TO WHO WE ARE

Let's go back now
to where
was
lost
that little
child
in each of
us
So we can
nurture
one another
to the greatness
OF WHO WE ARE

And we can heal those
who come
behind us
with all the love
that
we possess
cause our gentle
ness together
is teaching us.

Then some day
we'll look around us
and see the joy
that
God intended
when He placed us
on this earth

Cause that image
of Christ
within us,

IS....
WHO WE ARE

Good morning Love,
Can I watch the sun rise in your eyes
Catch an early morning bike ride
with you by my side.

A tender touch, a wink
and the words
I need you so very much
to fly to places in my mind
beyond the daily rush,
....and bustle
which will soon bring my focus
to an earthy plane.

The sky so many different shades of blue
the autumn trees displaying their varied hue
could be so easily missed,
if it weren't for loving you,
...so very much

The pendulum swings.......
both ways....equally as far.

And so the heights my heart once knew,
now too,
must know it’s sorrows.

And though I hold no fault
with its ensuing arc

I wish that I could alter
the stubbornness,
of my heart.


The vastness of one’s solitude
the depth of one’s void

can only be judged....
by the comparison

that I have come
to learn.


Pain is a longing
that can never be fulfilled
torment is wanting
and knowing it never will
happen.

Lonliness,
is like a reaching
to nowhere.
Like grasping empty space..

Did you see it? Did you see it this morning?
The sun is beginning to rise earlier now; and when we awake
it’s waiting there to greet us with it’s light,
and soon to be....it’s warmth.
What a glorious time of the year to initiate a new friendship.
For just as the heralding of Spring holds a promise yet to unfold,
so it is with friendship.
I am going to plant a flower, and call it By Your Name,
to remind myself that friendship requires faith and patience.
FAITH because when I look at that tiny seed that has no beauty...
I must trust... in the potential it holds within itself....
and each day as I watch it grow, just a little at a time,
I will be reminded of the importance of PATIENCE,
for it will reveal itself and come to fruition
in it’s own natural time.
Why should I try to force it, or control it, or manipulate it,
when it already knows.. best... it’s own hidden secrets.
I am but an instrument, here to nurture.
To learn it’s needs... so well...
so that I can give it the best care I can.
First I will start it inside where it’s cozy and warm
I will feed and water it, and as a mere observer I will let it be,
to unfold, as it’s inner being directs,
and someday, when the time is right,
I will set it outside in the sunshine,
and allow it to reward me with it’s glorious brilliance.
There for my pleasure... simply to be enjoyed.....appreciated
and so it is, with friendship.

Ah!..but if it was just so easy...
and I could go to Dunkin Donuts
and pay a price, and pick you out
among the precious tray of culinary delights,
and bring you home and take a bite
of ecstasy.
Rows of trays, so artfully designed
sprinkles, white and pink and brown
creamy custard centers, dripping with honeydew
and then there was... YOU.
And if your outer cover
was the plainest in the tray
I'd still pick YOU, each and every day.
For God creates that special one
that satisfies beyond
the palate and the tongue.
and touches your heart and soul
like no other... One.
If only, there was but, a simple price to pay
I'd buy your heart.

Come hither to me
and our passions will rise
as the sea
builds and swells
within itself.

And our spasms will crest
as we ride each new wave
and soon will forget
that there were ever
any other names........
or faces
To those of the past
who abused the delicacy of our feelings
and cared not enough to make it last
nor valued what was to be enjoyed
not exploited,
what was meant to be a gift
not a demand

Come hither to me
cause I understand
what it is you have to give
and that is all
I ask
to have.
