Eternity\'s Wings (+3)

The last door now open,

  freedom’s been found

 

The air burns electric

  the words different sounds

 

To fly unabated

   with heavens consent

 

En masse celebration,

  the god’s do relent

 

All feeling enraptured

   new joy to be shared

 

The journey, the struggle

   —salvation ensnared

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2016)

 

New Storms

 

How now the vanishing wind…

 

The days are upon us

 last season begins

 

All words are regifted

 and placed into song

 

As time has now shifted

 our last excuse gone

 

How now the suffering lies…

 

The light burns immortal

 old visions decry

 

What’s done long behind us

 new storms call our name

 

The clouds mark their entry

 —the past left to blame

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2018)

 

 

Bastard Of Time

 

When time loses its hold

  do you choose a new father

 

Free of place and all station

   even freer from blame

 

Your mother is now

  and your mother forever

 

But your father is a choice

  much more than a name

 

Do you wrestle in torment

  as he calls out to you timeless

 

 Beyond the past and the future  

    —where you forever remain

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2016)

 

 

Mariah\'s Song

 

As long as the wind blows

  Poets will not be forgotten

 

Their words the breezes carry forth

  —their thoughts to heaven thrown

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2018)

 

 

To Me

 

Poetry is to be given away

  and never ever sold

 

A gift beyond what time demands

   —and wrapped in leaves of gold

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2018)
