Birth of a Poem

Sometimes,
the verses are born
fully formed ready to
be written in black words on white paper.

Most time,
I see their conception,
nurture them through the embryonic stage
and bring them forth into reality.

I, also, post this poem in the journal, Writing in Snow, located in the folder Awardicon Items, in my writing.com port.

Blessing or Curse

Memory can be
a blessing or a curse;
it depends on  us.

We can dwell
on bad recollections
and be unhappy.

Or we can
focus on good memories
and be happy.

Knowledge

Knowledge
Begins with God
His Manifestation
Is the focal point of mankind's
Knowledge

in the beginning

Visualize

Universal Melody

Life is an echoing melody,
Reverberating through the Universe;
God is the unseen player,
Of the instrument of evolution.

Claws of dawn
penetrate day's closed eyelids
drawing the scarlet hue of morning.

Reflecting the Creator's glory

Unity Meditation

One planet
Encased in a shell of oxygen
Floats in an ocean of cold hydrogen
swarms the the constituents of
One race

Meditation on Life in the Universe

Matter's spiral connects
gender to gender,
forming the double helix
that connects generation to generation.

Life is a spiral ascending
the ladder of evolution;
ring by ring Being climbs
out of the mire of matter.

Nebula by nebula
planetary systems condense:
are born into the realm of matter.

Star by star
life forms advance:
climb the spiral of evolution.

Love's Secret Garden

Love has a secret garden
Where the flowers of eternity grow
I walk through this garden
I inhale the fragrance of faith
Roses open in the light of morning
Close as the sun sets in the west
Sleep comes on cats’ feet

Friday: A Poem

Freya's day; the sixth day of creation;
Independence; weeks flower closing;
Thank God it’s Friday; workweek ends;
A wilted bloom in love’s garden;
An echo in the corridors of time;
Vesper day of the universe; joy;
Evening song of the workweek;
Looking forward to the weekend.
Freedom’s echo; autumn song of the week.

Movement Forward

Each day I journey toward a distant crest,
Only at sunset do I dare rest,
A moment of pray before moving on
Step by step I advance toward my goal.

Earth's Pain

Listen carefully
You can hear Earth’s scream echoing
Off the tops of mountains.

Listen to her agony
As mountain tops are removed
To feed corporation’s bottom line.

Listen as her pain
Reverberates
Through atmosphere and mantel,
As her children
Obedient to the gods of greed
Behead her mountains
And fracture her stone hard bones.

Fighter jets echo
Their contrails reflect the sun,
Tourist look up,
While locals smile
Remembering we live close
To an Air Force base

Sometimes

Sometimes I get tired of being me
I just want to be
A woman who is free
Unencumbered by responsibility.

Sometimes I don’t want to be me
I want to act irresponsibly
And to on a spending spree.

Exigcenits of Creation

At the boundary of vision
The treeline obscures
The receding horizon
