This is a poem about one of our endangered birds of prey, the Marsh Harrier.
Dancing in the air
moving to an unheard tune
instinctive steps
laid out
under the summer moon.
never to be seen on stage
nor laid upon the page
Ballerina of the sky
above the ground
nothing escapes
your searching eye.
Dancer of the air
princess of heather and moor
pirroueting to finish your dance
no audience to approve
or imagine
a fatefull, longing romance.
All alone
you dance above
only the clouds
to give
you love.

Put all your hope in Him
In so doing He will transform you
Into a sparkling and precious gem
Be silent for a moment
Only then can you hear what He is saying
Answers are revealed after praying
What you say you love me
You died to set me free
Says a small silent voice
I love you I have no choice
You are perfectly and wonderfully made
In Him
Time with out number
In Him
Life death and every wonder
Air space all human and race
Every place
In Him

BY FAITH I WAS BORN
BY FAITH IM NOT ALONE
BY FAITH MY SOUL
IS NOT IN HELL
CAN'T YOU TELL ENEMIES
THRE DRIPPING BLOOD
OF JESUS CONTINUES
TO KEEP ME SAFE
WHILE YOU'RE STILL TRYIN
TO TREAT ME LIKE A SLAVE
HERE IN NYC
MY FAITH CONTINUES TO
MOVE THE'YOU CAN'T"
MOUNTAINS
GOD'S SUPERNATURAL
LOVE CONTINUES COVER ME
IN EVERY VALLEY
TUGH THAT LINE IS
FOR EVERYONE WHO
HATES ME
BECAUSE YOU HATE
MY FAITH IN CHRIST
YOU SEEM TO KEEP
PLOTTING INJUSTICE
THAT JUST ISN'T RIGHT
BUT BY FAITH I'M
ON THE WINNING SIDE
BY FAITH I WILL NEVER
LET YOU ENEMIES
REMOVE MY GODLY PRIDE

Come to my pasture of green,
this place that I love so well;
come and share all its bounty -
every plant, flower and tree.
Come to this meadow of green,
harvest the fruit from the vine;
watch the rain gently falling -
silvery as a dew in the morning.
As I look at the beauty around me
I see just how much He loves me.
I'm blessed with His gifts on earth -
the seasons, plains and valleys.
Lay down in my pasture of green
to gaze at the clouds high above,
hear His voice from the hillside
softly calling "My child, I am here."
Come to the woods, see His face
etched on a tender, young leaf,
revealed in a brook's peaceful sigh,
whispered by the wind's lullaby.

The Last Forever
The last time I saw her face,
with a halted heart,
and no love to replace…
The last time I kissed her smile,
of the adoring art,
a Mona Lisa in exile…
~~~
The last time I saw her sleep,
a pastoral princess,
as I awoke to weep…
The last time I heard her speak,
with a calliope caress,
as words vaporized in a bleak…
~~~
The last time I touched her heart,
love still in the ambient air,
then slowly ventured to depart…
The last time I felt her soul,
nothing left to soundly share,
except the emptiness of the whole.

miss you, nature, romantic,
Misty mountain morning
of pastel pink and blue
the wind songs playing through the trees
reminding me of you
The peaks on the horizon
on foggy blankets rest
the coolness of the air so crisp
nature at her best
Many moons have come and gone
since you and I shared these
for you have gone away, my love
beyond the distant breeze

Oh LORD,
Give me the force to withstand the
Cyclopean waves of human hypocrisy and malice.
Make me strong as to endure the suffering inflicted
By the knives of hatred and inconsideration which
Constantly pierce my heart, so as not to seek revenge
But only affection.
And finally, oh LORD, let your divine love pass
Through my bleeding wounds to heal them in
Such a degree as in the place where insensitive people
Wanted to plant the malevolent seed of vice,
Your glorious tree of virtue, to flourish instead.
Amen!

When Spring comes again
not the warmth..nor the rain
not the yellow ..
nor the green
not the grass
or verdant scene
not the winds
or blossom bright
not the showers
or more daylight
but
hearing creation's new birth
shouted aloud
in sky and earth
creations new birth
each season to us reveals
God’s love in action

With so many hats yet knows what to do.
Knowing she loves him with all her heart,
Always supporting him right from the start.
Supporting the Church and congregation,

Making a difference in all our lives,
in support of our Pastor in all his great strives.
So we honor her today in every way,
with loving support on this Special day.

best friend, brother, caregiving, christian, friendship, sympathy, true love,
Many days have we lived together,
O John, the chief cook!
I am weary of hunger,
And you have food and water.
Are you truly my neighbor?
Then give me a morsel.
Many months have we known each other,
O Peter, the great tailor!
I am walking around naked,
And you have clothes and thread.
Are you truly my neighbor?
Then sew me a dress.
Here at your door post
Have I sat for years,
O James, the Physician!
I am sick and dying,
And you have the drugs.
Are you truly my neighbor?
Then wash and bind my wounds,
That I may be made whole.

The shepherd in the winter cold
Gathers up his grazing fold.
Upon the misted hillside bush
Within a frosted evening hush.
Before the glimmer turns to dark
Before the wolves maraud the park.
To steal away its nightly feast
To a haunted chilled moonless east.
There was never a greater love
Between a shepherd and his drove.
For you can never tame or sever
A burning love that beats forever.
The shepherd guides with loving hands
The shivering flock towards the lands.
To home at last where creatures play
Until the gleaming sun had sank away.

Dreams become nightmares
When one sleeps through life
To be awake is to be aware
Nonviolence is a tougher fight
The brain is a filter
And the heart is a storehouse
Stealing and Stinginess
Will lead to the poorhouse
Never abandon belief
It's stamina for your actions
The right combination of love and hate
Is equivalent to compassion
Diligence trumps intelligence
So never be too proud
Let the work itself be the gift
And bonuses are sure to come around

I give you more abundant life
I've cleansed you of all sin
I've clothed you with undying love
The apple of my eye you've been.
With bread and wine I fed you
Flesh of my flesh you are
You are my bride elect
I am your 'bright and morning star.
As we unite in marriage
In the body we're made one
It's a three-fold cord that binds us
Father, Holy Ghost and Son.
Eternity awaits us
The long awaited kingdom's come
A life of heavenly proportions
And it's only just begun.

It's truest form
Is to love others'
- As -
Thee Love Thy-self

This is both a blessing
To God and a Blessing
Worthy to be
Bestowed upon Others'

But first seek the
Kingdom
Of God
Fore His very word
Will Absolve Thee

After the lilacs have gone by,
before golden flowers bloom
we will walk through meadows
soft and blue
and feast on bread with honey
stolen from autumn bees
still drunk in love with sunflowers.
After the lilacs have gone by,
before red poppies dance,
as we wake in meadows
soft with dew
you will kiss my honeyed lips
and we will walk through springs
still drunk in love with bluebells.
After the lilacs have gone by,
before brown leaves of autumn
as we remember meadows
green and new
sweet dreams will flow like honey
from a sunflower child
with eyes the shade of bluebells

Mankind sees through human eyes and hearts-
that are oft times
untouched and rendered cold.
But as the Ancient of Days many foretold-
The hearts of the fathers will
be turned back to the children;
And the hearts of the children will be turned back
to the hearts of the fathers.

love, autumn, , Lullaby,
I rest the rhapsodic morn along rustic shadows,
as if it were a sapphire,
i shall serenade beautifully beneath our efflorescent forests,
my hands await you like a rustic moon,
i shivery surreptitiously in my cashmere bowers,
the harmonies have dale's autumn glow,
the have bough's idyllic fragility,
ahhh, my future love,
my love,
my heart beats eagerly,
between the romance of a piano,
the season's have melody's romantic bough,
i will not wait me surely,
the feathers have glow's sparkling willow,
the lullaby leaps,
your silhouettes run the constellation,
you ,my love,
are my distant,eternal,
and yet, pastoral horizons

Dear Lord, You created us in your likeness,
And You hoped that someday we follow in your greatness.
But we turned away from peace and happiness,
And forgot Your teachings about oneness.
Lord, we pray that you use your powerful hand,
To touch our hearts and give peace in our land.
We ask of nothing that is grand,
Because it is only through Your love that we can find the comfort that we want.
Please give us love for each other Dear Lord,
So that we find unity in the midst of different religions,
No matter what race and culture we may be,
It shall only be the love and peace we will see.

My Love
Won't you take my arm into yours
And lead me to your secret place
Where all is lost and purity is gained
To that place of isolation
Where two become one
For I yarn to be lost
In you with total surrender
Take me away, separate me for your purpose
Give me what is yours, so mine maybe yours
Let me belong to only you.
My mind, body and soul
Lead them by the footsteps of your will
Tie the knot of our love, and abide me in you
To love and hold, forever your word as truth
My spirit I give for yours in turn.
Quiet my storms and silence my doubts
So only your voice i can hear.
My love
My love Jesus
Let me belong to you.

Love is patient.
Love is kind.
It does not ask anything of others.
It doesn’t moan.
It doesn’t complain.
It often goes out of its way to hug others.
Love is never boring.
There is never a dull moment when we are walking in love.
We are carried on the wings of angels who are sent from above.
Love is never self-seeking.
It thinks of others before it thinks of itself.
It has no time for a pity party.
It only wallows in happiness!
Love is eternal.
Love is patient.
Love has all sorts of lifetime benefits.
I wear a rose of love on my lapel today.
I share its scent with all who are near me.
Amen.
Based on I Corinthians chapter 13.

From out...
Of the Cookie Cutter
My love for Christ
Shall always be
-----
When I think of His Love
It brings' things' back to me
In and around Eternity
------
I simply must reply with-in
I know that their is a reason
Why thing's shouldn't have been
Let Thy Will be done'
------
Why Gods' only Son
Had to die on the 'CROSS'
That day, to revive the people
To make them Pray!
------
And surely did they Pray!
------
Yet, by no stretch
Of the imagination...
Was the title lost?
------
But for the price of freedom
Jesus paid the COST
