Elipse of the Heart - Diamond Ring

spectrum news photo

 

On the path of totality
a rare occurrence, a total eclipse
gathering of hopefuls to catch a glimpse

On the path of totality
moon passing between earth and sun
a celestial event, no one can stop what has begun

On the path of totality
as, the moon makes its journey, one feels the chill
the birds stop flying and became eerily still

On the path of totality
drumming, I offer a song to the heavenly spheres
watching the few remaining clouds disappear

On the path of totality
vision of a life-time, the sun’s corona shines
a sense of other worldliness –  something divine

The Lucky Ones

Everyone talking about luck
As the lottery reached a billion
Take a chance for two bucks
It’s like wishing on a star among a million

You hope for great fortune
Can you find the four-leaf clover
Saving you from life’s misfortunes
A piece of salvation before it’s over

Wishing you all luck in this journey called life....

Tell Me How

Tell me how to string words

Do I need a secret password

Do I need to solve life's crossword
give me a clue and I will start

Mother Nature

 Where o’ where are flowers of spring
did mother nature make a mistake
for rain, sleet and snow she did bring
blue heron seeking balance by the lake
a goose honking, robins don’t sing
this cold weather is difficult to shake
where o’ where are flowers of spring


Writer's Digest 2024 April Pad Challenge Day 4

RUSH

Driving  my car in the morning light
turning on the radio to the sound of RUSH
we have freewill, can we decide right
sunrise arrives in stillness, a silent hush

Turning on the radio to the sound of RUSH
the melody closing in, closer to the heart
sunrise arrives in stillness, a silent hush
in the distance the moon slowly departs

The melody closing in, closer to the heart
my tears fall, listening to a love song
in the distance the moon slowly departs
wiping my eyes, I softly sing along….

My tears fall, listening to a love song
we have freewill, can we decide right
wiping my eyes, I softly sing along
driving  my car in the morning light

Full moon
mystifies time
silhouettes in the night
dancing under radiant light

Willow Grows

Willow 
 

 Marveling at your contours and gracefulness
your branches arch creating a canopy
that dares to kiss the lips of earth
slowly flowering in the light of spring
your roots thirst for growth...

I am optimistic that poets will always
find your beauty alluring
