YESTERDAY’S GOODBYES

The euphony in the breeze

reminds me of what used to be.

Murmurous whisper is a constant emotion,

a cantabile sound of

yesterdays goodbyes.

My breath blows against

the celestial horizon

where tears cascade against

the somberness of my

broken heart.

An exuberance of memories

evanesce in my mind,

and plays pianissimo notes

upon lovelorn lips

that once knew the taste of you,

but now knows the sound of

yesterdays goodbyes.

I commemorate your face

in every waking day,

yearning to feel your amicableness.

My body is pensive,

and cries atrocious sound of

yesterdays goodbyes.

THE POTTER AND THE CLAY

Bumpy clay lays on a table

No lustrous colour appears

Somberness is its personality

Shapeless contour is featureless

Warm hands secure to lifeless form

Assusive voice calms its fear,

"I am the potter and you are the clay."

Creativity begins to mold

Eyes azure blue glisten

Ashen complexion fades

Porcelain skin radiant and new

Shines on a newly formed face

Tender hands softly stroke his creation

Tranquil voice repeats,

"I am the potter and you are the clay."

Clay begins to turn humanlike

A heart beats in a translucent chest

Fragile blood course through veins

Physical structure stares at her reflection

Light illuminates a soothing glow

A serene voice whispers,

"I am the potter and you are the clay."

An individual stands in reverence

As she stares at her maker

Then, in a prudent voice she says,

"You are the potter and I was the clay."

TELL ME

Tell me father,

of my splendor you so carefully molded.

Let me hear your knowledge and wisdom,

giving me assurance that you're not done with me.

Breathe on me blessings of peace.

Tell me father,

that my face is blossoming into something sweet and tender.

My laughter is like billows of music filling your ears.

bestow  upon me your comfort when I am weak and weary.

Inspire me to always look to you for guidance.

tell me father,

of your immortal love, that it last forever,

and my love for you brightly beams.

Let your voice be  an never ending whisper in my ear,

filling me with your precious strength.

Tell me father,

that we are like eagle wings,

soaring high above the earth.

Help me leave a trail of your friendship where ever I go,

filling people's path with your glorious glow.

Tell me father,

life's swiftly passing years have been to your liking.

Even though I've had some dark hours

your mercy is new each day.

How excellent is your loving kindness!

Tell me father,

once again about heaven and the streets of gold,

and the crown you're keeping safe for me until my time comes.

Wash me in your abundance of love.

Keep me safe for all eternity.

Amen
