A Flowering Bouquet - with audio


audio link - old version, audio needs updating

The world is turning, 
Tropical stream and arctic breath, 
Skies cajoling



Thoughts colliding, 
Melodies, vespers buffeting, 
Strings tangled, reminding



Of life's foibles, 
Frailties, fractures, failures, 
Lumps, lows, longings, limits



Straining, struggling, 
Sinking, seeking 
For fearfully forgiven moments



But a voice 
Awakening, reverberating, 
Calling from within



Speaks tenderly 
Quiet words, why so sad, 
For healing has come



Once more in love, 
Be calm, be still, rest, 
A pillar in the temple of praise



Made right, set aside to serve, 
Be satisfied with this, 
Lay down and rise



Radiate, illuminate, 
Cast a beacon 
In the cold and stony night



To the silent passing vessels 
Finding safe harbor 
By the saving light



Avoiding the rocky path 
In the crash 
Of uncertain blinding seas



Onward flow, churning riptides, 
Beneath the striking hand 
Of cape winds chilling cries



At once red flames appear 
Surrounding, springing up 
From the wet rocks and sandy ground



Climbing ever higher in the round, 
Cooling and refreshing, 
Light without sound



All cares fading, burning 
In the many tongued array, 
Regrets, sorrows, dark clouds give way


Burdens in the fiery ring rising, 
Calm descending, Peace 
Arriving here in this new day



Free, free once more to join 
The Pegasus flight, on a river 
Of heavens' cascading blues and whites



Together with Myriad Choruses 
Of creation's voices shining,dancing 
Warmed in the sun's pleasant heights



Speeding across the fabric 
Of pulsing, glowing mystery, 
Called by eternity, majesty and family



A flowering bouquet, 
Whispering fragrant blessings, 
Dropping thankful petals lovingly



With each falling star 
Brightly vanishing



And every spark 
Never ending.
