Title: *Autumn Song

Title: *Autumn Song*

A rapid sun

With good clean fun

Brays imperiously 

Reflecting mysteriously

In honeyed ignorance

At a whirlwind romance

A credit to mankind,

Clearly and yet undefined

Softly and yet with passion. 

In flamboyant fashion

Autumn sleeps 

Whilst little Bo peeps

Into the morning. 

Midnight grows  

An early warning.

The autumn moon

From dawn till noon

Paints sky screens 

Behind the scenes

Spreading opulently

Past the stars that

Billow and blow

A brilliant glow

A golden sunrise

Across the bluest skies.

Title: *Home Truths

Title: *Home Truths* 

Perform every act

As though it

Were your last

Live in the present

Not in the past.

Give peace 

A chance

A liberal 

Point of view

And may all 

Creation dance 

The joy that

Lives in you.

Feeling down cast

Title: *Angel of Flexibility

Title: Angel of Flexibility

Dear God

Thank you for granting me

An angel of flexibility

Giving me the ability

To course correct 

Cause and effect

A guiding light,

Willing to see

The whole

Without losing

Sight of the goal.

The angel of flexibility

Helps me let go 

Of narrow-mindedness,

Taking into account

Important evidence 

Whilst remaining open

To the flow -

As easy come, easy go

Humble like a servant

Yet remaining current

With all newest information

To bless each given situation.

Title: *Friendship

Title: *Friendship*

Life brings with it

Many surprises

When I open my heart

To its many disguises.

The surest way

To have friends

Is to be one,

Being a trusted mate

To others when

They need one

Is true practise of the

Commandment of God’s Son

My heart not my ego

Is where real friends

Must abide

So I will take time

To encourage,

Share mine with others

Rather than hide.

Respecting kindness,

Acceptance, and Trust,

These ingredients

For genuine friendship

Are a must.

In being the friend

That I wish

To have most,

I will attract

To myself

Great friends

I can host.

I am not anxious,

For that nor will

I lose any sleep

But will Let Christ

Be the factor of

Which friends I

Can keep.

The bonds of true friendship

Will forever run deep

Title: *HARVEST TIME

Title: *Harvest Time*

Onward yearly harvest.

The first step might

Seem the hardest

Effort with rewards

Such as music

And its chords.

A predictable change

Choices to rearrange.

Reduction of strife

Lending meaning to life

New tasks for each season.

Peace is the reason

Broken spirits on the mend

Nothing to defend

Peace and happiness

Till the end.
