I am......

, , , ...

I am....

I am but the whisper
the vapour in the air
I am what cannot be seen
whose presence you feel

I am but the light
the warmth upon your skin
I am what cannot be touched
whose presence you feel

I am but the moment
the reality of the day
I am what cannot be contained
whose presence you wish to sustain

I am but elusive
the longing of your heart
I am all your dreams
whose presence is desired

I Wake...........

, , , ...

I wake.......

I wake
and breath comes with mornings light
the doves coo in the trees

I wake
and breath comes with mornings light
as cool is felt in Autumns breeze

I wake
and breath comes with mornings Light
and life has come to me

I wake
and breath comes with mornings light
of grandeur and possibility

I wake
and breath comes with mornings light
as lifes pulse quickens my heart

I wake
and breath comes with mornings light
for the joy felt at days start

EYE

, , , ...

EYE

delicate and precise
the organ of sight
dark apeture that
determines the light

the window that transmits this
moveable globe of vision
and focuses the worlds view

a pair of hollow structures
that rest in bony sockets
within the orbit of the skull

the faculty that makes
aesthetic judgments
under watchful supervision

so calm the centre
amidst lifes hurricane
and so they ran into the
heart of the struggle

where upon they now
find themselves in the
eye of the storm

and the eye of the needle
forbids me trespass
and keeps me on this
side of lifes fence

and my minds eye
takes in my surrounds
and evaluate the quality

this lens that penetrates
my memory stores the pictures
that I now see

Illuminate me

, ,

ILLUMINATE ME

the source of light
and illucidation

that lifts mine mind
giving clarifcation

illuminate me the
God of creation

abundant thine light
that is seen as good

the darkness once worn
as a cloaken hood

now reveals spritual awareness
divine condition

that yields a heart
that is full of contrition

remove all ambiguity
and expose this weakened candidate

adorn my mind with thine splendour
and give thy truthful mandate

prevail upon me and do not
let me hallucinate

being deceived by own self will...............

DAWN

, , , ...

DAWN

stillness of the dawn air
the breath of mornings glory
and dancing the waltz so slowly
the feathered leaves in clusters
move in time with the breeze

like snow that melts the kiss of all that's said
as we awaken of infinite expectation
aurura of genesis new birth the opening
the slip into conscioutsness(sp)of ease

and the social serenade of the doves
they coo to greet the morn
and merge the sounds till muted
and color filters the dawning skies

the lights portal of imaginings
of ones hopes and dreams
as light it grows in mornings break
shows the approach of sunrise

sumptious the fruit of harvest upon
the fingered brances of the tree
as birds of flight hang upside down
feeding in playful glee

display of affection as light it
kisses the red tiled roof top
as all provided free

and on the other side of time
dusk was bid goodbye

the passing of moments history
with each new eventide

each day the dawn it rises the
twighlight of the morn
and who but God can stop
the cry of perpetual dawn

HEAVENLY BODIES

, , , ...

HEAVENLY BODIES

Emitted light from
distant past
visible to the naked eye

So why then can man
not see beyond your hot
body of glowing gas

and know that
the spoken word dispels all
man's questions of confusion

the answer to energy,
brightness...and
nuclear fusion

Sun star giver of light
Sun star giver of life

Luminious ball of plasma
radiates your beauty
under nights sky

Light that guides safely
giving man passage
upon watered sea

Who is your time keeper
who holds your heavenly
body fixed in time and space

Son creator of light
Son the giver of new life

Fields of color the
roof built upon our brow
looks commandinGly down

A garden of beams
illumine softly for
midnight's Milky Way.

And heralds a new dawn
that marks all time
and space

As the Father, smiles
upon man descending
heaven's light

That greets and calls
the heart of one
and through his son

gives grace...
