Collective Tapestry II

Words can uplift they also can bring down. With words we can soon discover a reason for being like the changing of the seasons. Out of every bit of circumstance we can learn to take part in the dance. Share with each other this notion of being alive to live another day. Giving cadence to the simple and clarity to the blind. Hope you enjoy my latest poetic pieces.

 

The Modern Times

having a Warhol moment

in days filled with flames

help light the way

to choose to glare

 

left on a barbed wire fence

shattered dreams

filtered through the means

gives cadence to the simple

 

the vast open door

the willingness to explore

 

 

Break The Mends

 

shattered glass on the window

 

a heros smile

still to know all the great while

 

words are grafted in so careful

dig deeper then ever before

 

look at the qaint little cottage near the village

the notion of solemn tapestry

sprag deeply

love's motive for awe so much more

 

 

A Hero's Smile

 

came home from the war

a salute to freedom

to even the score

he held his head down low

 

to escape the vast undertow

wallow through a time well spent in thought

in austere flames

a chance encounter to rearrange

 

come a bit closer

the wedding in the Nile

walk the extra mile

at moments he suffered in silence

 

amidst all the violence

wandering wandering

captivated by a smile

to know all the great while

 

Love's fainting cry

watch as Summer passes you by

 

 

Remember Me

 

remember me

in times such as these

beneath the strain of Autumn leaves

the falling dew out on the grass

 

no one gets by on any free pass

share with others the time to last

bask in the vast expanse between time & space

meditate

 

the chance to radiate

remember me through the passing breeze

all of the delicate leaves

lead away to heaven's door

 

lest I implore another way of escape

 

 

The Temptress

 

she dances in a ring of fire

yet throws off each challenge with a shrug

nestled in her high healed abode

let the truth be told

 

to uplift this heavy load

she glares out her window

only to discover a reason for being

perhaps it's in the changing of the season

 

she listens in amazement

longing

savoring every moment in her thoughts

 

 

In Heaven's Name

 

falling

falling

emblems from the sky

the sound of the faint lulabye

 

out of a distant cry

there is a great notion of thought

the parting soul can't ever be bought

visions inside my head

 

to awake the dead

shadows block the vortex

energy from within

wandering

wandering

 

aimlessly yet in one accord

to dispel your every word

look how beautiful is the Lord

to envision God's holy word

 

billows sweet billows

gone on before us

nothing to mysterious

gives cadence to the simple
