Poems 8 (Wonder)

Magdalane Fjords Norway
Wonder
Twinkling heavenly flowers
Lights forever warm.
Seeds planted in the universe
From a gigantic storm.
Flashing rainbows
Surpassing earthbound ones.
Ribbons of eternity
In search of other suns.
Melodious is the sky
Of abundant stars.
Imagination runs wild
Around planets like mars.
Moon is always there
Childish images of cheese,
That a man swings
A fantasy in the breeze.
Watching reflections in a pool
Catching gold by night.
Reaching out for star dust
Never to leave it from sight.
Mysteries of a million years
Will be known at the last.
Travelling in mind without burden
As from earth be cast.
In dreams
Eyes no longer closed.
Reflections of the soul
Earthbound and reposed.

A Prayer in June
From the night sky
In the month of June,
A prayer came to me
Under the waxing moon.
An aura of peace
Grew and held me still,
With warmth of the air
There was no chill.
A vale of stars in
The galaxy
Sparkled through the
Silhouetted trees.
Thrilling the spectacle
With tangible awe
I prayed for the earth
And it’s natural law.
God chose us to
Manage the place,
What we’ve done
Is a human disgrace.
As the night passes
In the month of June
Let’s pray the stars stay
With the sun and the moon.

Thank You
Thank you for the morning
On waking up to hear
The song of birds singing
Of joy which is so clear
Thank you for the food
Upon the table stands
Various kinds of tasty things
From many different lands.
Thank you for the folks
Who come and pass my way
With a kindly word or two
Makes the pleasure of the day.
Thank you for the stars
That twinkle in the sky
For when I look to heaven
I know you are standing by.
