Lake of Silver Glass - Sept. 07, 2010

James Jacques Joseph Tissot

Lake of Silver Glass

Elegantly drifting along on a lake of silver glass

Stunning visions grace my view

Of Weeping Willows hung with purple moss

Resplendent in their royal hue

A taste of crisp morning air greets my face

From lazy clouds slowly rolling in

I can hear the softest splash from a lily pad

As a bullfrog's day begins

Gliding by the hollow reeds, I hear whispering

Calling out, pick me and let's play

A song of sentiment to capture every heart

Listening to our lovely cabaret

Up ahead in the distance, I can barely see

The sandy banks of my shore

Yet I never wish to leave my lake of silver glass

Why can I not just stay here forevermore?

Burning Embers - Sept. 06, 2010

Taras Loboda

 Burning Embers

A quiet affection pulses deeply within

Smoldering fire in your eyes

Burning embers of glowing persuasion

Lifting hope, I hold inside

Honesty I sense in boundless measure

So tenderly offered up to see

Each time you hold my gaze with your own

You melt the heart in me

You thrill my soul when you caress me

With your smoldering gaze

Persuading my heart to hold you near

Until my end of days

My hope is wholly lifted each time I see

Tender love and honesty

Blazing in the burning embers of your eyes

Gazing gently back at me

Cleansing Storm - Sept. 05, 2010

Cleansing Storm

When fiery lightning strikes those cloudy skies

You can hear the crashing thunder

Resounding echoes across a spinning world ablaze

In weary hearts so filled with wonder

Legend holds grand acclaim for its cleansing power

Proclaiming infinite tributes of ensuing grace

Affirmed with no need ever of words or questioning

By the marvelous look there on your face

Radiant crystal particles are motivated by a unity

Methodically altering a gloomy day

Sending down a melodious sight for sore eyes

To chase all your weariness away

An uplifting stimulation wonderfully inspiring the soul

Striking impulses into your inner core

Magnificently cleansing you inside and out

Vigorously, as the rain pours

No Fear - September 04, 2010

Cat Woman Amy

No Fear

We are living in a time of immense transformation

Evolving with our Earth at lightning speed

Tremendous change is ringing in the air we breathe

Often times planting a fearsome seed

Every occurrence, moving in these winds of change

Is safely wrapped in the arms of love

We need not have any fear of the changes we see here

Flying in to rest upon the wings of a dove

We are able to rise to the challenges we meet

Carrying a wealth of strength inside

Setting a fine example by displaying a still tranquility

Into the empty fear that change provides

Open up your glorious hearts with overflowing love

Reflecting all the joy you know is here

Reach out your extended hands to everyone in need

Showing change, need not bring fear

Your Sun Will Shine Again - Sept. 03, 2010

Metin Demiralay

Your Sun Will Shine Again

Do you remember what you said that day
How terrible you felt inside
When all those clouds of disappointment
Blew into your lovely skies

Your life could not get any worse
To yourself you sadly said
Because your glorious sun no longer shone
While lightning crashed ahead

Your teardrops fell like rain that day
Unnoticed in the downpour
Torrential streams from the blackest skies
One had ever seen before

One day your sun returned to shine again
Winds of disappointment changed
Your flowing tears glowed into a radiant smile
As your life's direction rearranged

Now here you stand, downcast once again
Black cloudy skies moving in
Never give up looking for that sun of yours
To shine through those clouds again

Hands of the Wind - Sept. 02, 2010

Radyga

Hands of the Wind
 
I softly close my eyes inhaling the wind in adoration
Strokes of heaven brush my lovely face
Splendid, satisfying streams of the touch of angel wings
Have surely come to greet me in this place

My flowing hair of silken ebony is lifting in the breeze
Reaching up to touch the hands of the wind
Adoring the strokes of heaven, brushing every strand
Welcoming each touch, again and again

Slowly opening my eyes, of the deepest emerald green
I look to find the face of the wind
Yet nothing do I see, but the briskly falling leaves
Adoring the strokes of his hands

I must take my leave, from this lovely wind I so adore
Leave his strokes of heaven in this place
The briskly falling leaves, have all taken him from me
I can no longer feel his hands on my face

Dance of Spontaneity - Sept. 01, 2010

Richard Young

Dance of Spontaneity

Luminous passion flows quite magnificently
A dance crying out to be heard
Persuading your spirit to honor the motion
So sweetly, as it stirs

A remarkable immersion of inspiring sensation
Uncovers a welcoming glance
Softly held on the face of the persuaded spirit
Who hears the cry of the dance

Gratifying spontaneity demands your attention
Be delighted by the cry that is heard
Inspiring the spirit to gently whirl and spin
To a lovely music without words

Beautiful effortless moves of revealing delight
Are honored without any question
By the spirit who hears the lovely persuading music
Of the dance of spontaneity's suggestion
