Seven stolen blades

A restless impatient Night

Cups from Crowns pour peace

Above all, the Sun will rise

Truth and light restore the heart

Old weathered pages

Thicker, off-white in color

Bound in dark leather

Tea-stained brown with small dimples

Holding cherished memories.

An image made clear,

My heart feels fuller,

A lost puzzle piece now set,

Near busting with Joy,

Who knew all it took was an,

Earl grey tea with some honey.

Bonfire’s Song

By Beauty’s Light, my heart takes flight,

In Service True, with all my might,

Seek Wisdom’s grace, let knowledge grow,

My Trust be true in all we know.

With health I stand, both strong and free,

My work, my gifts, for you and me,

In all I do, may this be clear

I cast these words, with love sincere.

Your laughter mingles

With my own mirthful chuckle

These halls I call home

May the float up and embed

Amongst cobwebs and rafters

Do I deserve this?

Your shoulder far colder than

This spring rain falling

Like diagonal needles

Numbing the side of my face.

Bitter Winter rain

Your opportunity lost

With Spring’s arrival

Or so I would have wagered

And yet, here I see you snow
