• Merry Christmas

    joy in the celestial
    bring 3 wisemen ephemeral
    from farthest hills
    walk the dusty plain
    call out His name
    The Lord is born in Bethlehem
    rejoice rejoice the people have
    one voice
    music flow like water to the sea
    tears of thanks wash over me
    river banks beckon no regret
    bright star shine
    the night
    is calm
    Mary with the child
    in her arms.

  • a better heaven

    to hope for a better heaven
    in the far distant course of rivers winding
    in the night sky dark as dying
    fraught a storm received with tears
    reclaimed throughout the years
    duality takes her pride with jeers
    to suddenly no warning disappear
    the sweetness more than honey
    to the bee
    bemused life is funny when to tease
    the absolute the grand pursuit
    a momentous harmony
    a zephyr slips across the sky
    for just an instant caught my eye
    if you leave me I will cry
    upon the beach grass blown
    winds will come to sacrifice
    a little of their own
    a friendly retreat will have me repeat
    cloud cover like a shroud regress
    the happiness I feel for you
    deepens to depress
    the greatest of the healing find
    the feeling resents the mind
    bless you heart and soul a text
    importance adherence will not be vexed
    pleasure in your rosy cheek
    your countenance smooth mellow
    a patient pearl for all the world to see
    embedded in her halo
    oh the joy to see the girl
    a smile in her sweet hello
    a lucky day to live to know
    how kind the dappled day will be.
