Pinpoint moon
Celestial eye
Keeping watch
Up above
What could be more beautiful
In all the heavens

A cape of thorns worn
Crown of pink its head adorned
Desert grown jewel
Prickly Pear Her Majesty
There is beauty in this beast

A Heart of Crystal
A heart of crystal
Once brought into the light
Cannot be snuffed out,
…Its love shines eternal.

Simple Song (Shadorma)
Simple song
That no one can hear
In my heart
Bringing joy
And a fullness to this life
That no other can

Birth is All Around Us
Birth is all around us;
In everything,
Every blade of grass,
Chirp of baby birds newly hatched,
Tiny flowers submitting to their nature to be fruit,
The covey of quail scurrying single file,
Rise of the sun upon a new day,
Winter welcoming the spring,
Barren branches bursting with cool green leaves,
April rains coaxing wildflowers from nothing,
Parks full of strollers and carriages,
Toddlers laughter filling the air,
Earth and sky warming.
Birth is all around us,
In everything,
Wondrous!

I can see heaven from earth
What could be better

Unusual For Its Heavenly Glory
Unusual for its heavenly glory,
A simple yet wondrous beam of light;
All colors of the spectrum shining bright.
I would have thought it a rainbow,
But for my own eyes.
Sun outlined in a thin veil of clouds–
It could not be restrained
Spilling its multicolored hues upon the earth;
A perfect column leading straight to heaven.
Mesmerized, I gazed open mouthed,
Would I have perceived this prior,
In my haste would I have been as if blind?
Beauties claim is not staked by the material alone,
This I’ve come to realize.
I’ve opened my eyes,
I’ve opened my ears,
I’ve opened my mind,
And was astonished by the effervescent world…
That surrounds me.

Joy in the Melody of the Sparrow’s Song (Sonnet)
Joy in the melody of the sparrow’s song,
I sit in wonderment at the skies varied palette.
As though an observer, I feel I don’t belong,
Second fiddle in this heavenly ballad.
.
Yet my premise is false, I am part the story,
Woven into the fabric of our universe.
Sharing in its pain and relishing in its glory,
Though my time is for certain most terse.
.
Revealing in it’s beauty, I’m astonished by the day,
How perfection could have happen by chance.
A Universal Spirit must surely have had it’s way,
In this earthly and spiritual fire dance.
.
With each passing day, O’ how little I know,
Though I wouldn’t miss the chance to see the show.
