Revealed by love


A beam of light passed through my eyes
And showed to me a world disguised
So near,yet far,we do not see,
Unless by gift of grace redeemed.
That world is full of peace and calm
Its colors mingle,like a balm.
In such a moment all thought dies
Revealing Love which underlies.
Colors caress my naked eyes.
Sunlight blesses new designs.
I stand enthralled,and do not wish
For one delight,other than this.
My breath slows down, and filled with joy,
I rove my eyes with bliss to toy.
Everything is just itself.
This is now my living wealth.
Beneath the noise of city cars,
This mellow joy in love endears
This depth and peace, is always near
When we choose Love and turn from Fear

Drowning in green

I see your image in the lake below
Bending like a thirsty iris plant
I drown in leaves of paper and of woe

Mirrors, water,faces all can show
But not explain the meaning to an ant
I see your image in the lake below

Let me show by gestures what I know
That love can make an imprint like a stamp
I drown in leaves of paper and of woe

A generous smile. a hand held out,a blow
The Duchess made her tarts just for a tramp
I see her visage in the lake below

Think again and this time think it slow
Do not burn a candle, use a lamp
I drown in leaves of grass and old grey snow

If I offend you, do not take the hump
Let not your pride inflate as by a pump
I see your image in the lake below
Let’s sleep in leaves of elm and mistletoe

The joyous flood

No photo description available.
Sea Dream by Katherine

The joyous flood sent sailboats through the streets
Sea and land were mingled in display
The sun shone softly with its fiery heart
The joyous flood sent sailboats through the streets
What was once disparate came to meet
Then the sea ran back enriched and fleet
And children flew outside in pools to play
The joyous flood sent sailboats through the streets
Sea and land were mingled, sweet display

The ancient bricks

 The ancient bricks are crumbling   making space
For living creatures humble, self effaced 
The  wallflowers waver on the topmost ledge
Leaning out to watch the hurried pass

The sun shines from the East in blinding glare
Shadows shorten .trees bud ,Spring is near
My baseball cap protects my eyes and skin
Even the  most strong  will never win

We take the humus ,grow our crops and flowers
When our time is  done,   we will not cower
Gratefully we love  our neighbours,friends
Right until we reach the very  end 

Then with the  bones of innocence we lie
Deep the soil  and deeper still the Eye
