5 A.M.

It's 5 a.m. and all around

Birds are singing out their  sound

Daylight's absent: looks like night

Soon the dawn will bring her light

Stillness whispers: soft and sweet;

Encouraging quietness: gentle feet

For the sleeping, taking rest

Cannot make this one request

Like a symphony, in the trees;

Songs are riding, wind and breeze.

Carrying happiness, making light

Hear the melodies.. pure delight?

Now the sunbeams, start to shine

Warming up, your heart and mine

Chasing dark out, till the night

Good morning, everyone: all is right

Revived

we all need to turn off the noise

 

For a handful, of days, now, I quieted all down

Turning off, all of  the media and lowering all sound

I could hear, it,  the beauty and could hear them all sing

The birds and the squirrels and the honey bees that sting

Then I sighed as I remembered how much it could weigh

On my mind and my peace..all  the tainted display

Of happiness, security and wealth, ever untrue

I knew it, right then, what it is, I must do.

So  I silenced it:  the media; the crazyness, the noise

And could  hear deep down inside me .."you made the right choice"

And suddenly the calmness.. the gentlest light breeze

Was transporting my spirit  into a the great sea of peace

I felt it... the softness; and the beautifulness too

Everything, every moment was speaking like new

My nerves were untightened;  my heart was set free

Gone were the fetters that were anchoring me

I hope, now, for each person to find this new find

This peacefulness and loveliness that sure to unbind

All of the worriedness and heartaches and  pain

Come now into the silence and soak in God's rain

Morning news

Sirens sounding smoke filled air

Bombs exploding..  everywhere

Gaza's weeping .... Israel too

What's the answer.. what to do

Children  see it .. see their eyes 

So much anger is in the skies

Parents   fighting ..making  war

What's this upset ,,what's  it  for?

Instead of loving .. being fair

Violence is erupting  everywhere

Lands so distant ...lands right here

Scars of egoism seem so clear

If  once we'd listen,   try to know

Our true calling would  start to glow 

Through each person .. in all things

We'd  hear God's message ..His echoings

 

We're all one family ..why we fight

All this happening destroys us inside

Why look for wrong things: what's not right

When we fail to see it..we are this plight

Lovely rain

Rains are falling soft and light

Birds are singing... gone the night

All the earth is opening up 

God is filling her sweet, sweet cup

Graying skies are here to stay

Rain's the forecast: here all day

LIke a shower soothing  all

Raindrops heal us as they fall

Rythmic music to our ears

Tiny droplets echoing cheers

From the skies so vast, so wide

God emerges: doesn't hide

Will you play now will you dance

In this puddling happenstance

Do not murmur..don't  complain

Let us love it: all this rain

Blessings of Spring

Little seed-lets ready to grow

God is in them, this I know

As their growing He will shine

Through the sun and in all time

Gracing nature with His Love

God is helping us from Above

See the fruit trees big and strong

They're producing all day long

In all creatures here and there

God is breathing everywhere

Speaking jumping having fun

God is us.. everyone

Spring is beautiful as can be

Watching nature ..we can see

God is provident giving food

In all things our God is good

Will you take the time to see

God is loving us: you and me?

He is everywhere: giving  to all

From His Bounty ..blessings fall
