NOVEMBER RAIN: SESTINA POEM
I
November rains fall upon the lost
soul
Its bitterness chills deeper in the
mind
Relentless in its down pouring of
water
It pricks like sleet upon a winter
night
Running its course, the chill of
the season
A depressing rain as it moistens
leaves.
II
A measure of cold passion it now
leaves
A passion now frozen within the
soul
A soul desiring a change in season
Wanting no more than an enlightened
mind
The sun to shine forth from the
darkest night
Nostalgic memory of summer’s water
III
When the soul was embraced by the
water
Along with the inner most warmth it
leaves
Unlike the bitter coldness felt at
night
In the November rains that pierce
the soul
Summer warms the inner part of the
mind
Like the newness that comes in
spring’s season
IV
Thoughts- feelings change from
season to season
Warmth in summer-relentless fall
water
Effecting the perception in the
mind
The perception of dark or light it
leaves
Hues that leave an impact on mind
and soul
Can enlighten or chill darkness of
night
V
Perceive illuminating beams at
night
A light that whispers hope in its
season
A hope of warmth in the depths of
the soul
Like a waterfall’s cleansing blue
water
That flows over top- serenity
leaves
Unexplainable peace within the mind
VI
November Rains that cursed the soul
and mind
Can find solitude in the darkest
night
Understanding of the sting that
sleet leaves
In the depths of coldness in its
season
Waiting for the warm refreshing
water
To pour and revive a passionate
soul
VII
Passion rains within the depth of
the soul
Regardless the warmth or freezing
water
Serenity’s found in any season.

TWENTY-FOUR HOUR CYCLE OF TIME
The sun falls upon the horizon
Revealing the beauty before night
As the moon replaces its glory
Illuminating darkness in sight.
It is to be seen, as will be heard
No longer will she silence the
night.
Nor deafen the strong voice inside
Or shall the still small voice
hide.
Under the darkness that encamps
around
As the leaves change from green to
gold
His hand reaches out when it’s cold
Revealing noon’s brightness, or
A night that is bold.
All a twenty- four-hour cycle of
time
As the body becomes dust to dust
The promise of eternal life stays
Which has no time, in view from
above.
In the day or the night, it remains
The illumination of the heart
The promise continues, displays
A glory too bright to part.

SHAFT OF WHEAT
Standing tall golden in its place
A state of advancing love and peace.
Seeds producing its goodness and
truth.
Fields, sowing their faithfulness
and worth.
Cycles, seasons, and the cycle of
life,
Some in the wilderness of solitude,
Finding the chaff of un-plenty.
Whose seed produces weakness of
love so yearning.
Wheat,
A symbol of the sacrament last
eaten.
A sign of the resurrection.
His glory,
In hope we wait.
Goodness, truth, and charity are to
be won.
In the fields of golden hue, the
walk moves on.
Cycles, seasons and the circle of
life
The golden shaft stands, swaying
Giving sight unto the now and the
future, to know.
The symbol will stand,
Revealing its charity
Its love in the plight.
