Stirred – #RomanticTuesday #LovePoetry

[image error]

.

Stirred

To the very Depths

Of All which makes me

Breathe Deep

From those Places within

I Rarely visit

Stirred

By the Gentle Supposition

Of All which makes You

Breathe Deep

From the Depths within

You Seldom Seek

Or Stir.

#Christmas #Sonnet

[image error]

Beyond the barren, desperate plains,

The Weary, Calling to Heaven from earth;

Countless generations Cry in pain,

Breathlessly Awaiting a Royal Birth.

Light and Liberty, Outward Reaching,

Through all the years of Tribulation;

Prophets, Wisdom Gently Speaking,

Foretell Celestial Jubilation.

Across the skies of Darkness, Reaching

Down from Heaven on Bending Wing;

Love Imbued with Harmony, Teaching,

As Vast Choirs of Angels, Triumphantly Sing.

“Lift up your eyes with Joy, not Fear,

For Blessed Love Draws Gently Near.”

[image error]

Unto those mortals, meek and lowly,

Watching o’er their flocks by night;

Heralding a Birth, Humble and Holy,

Love Shines forth in a New Star’s Light.

Amidst sheep and cattle, quietly Attending,

Laid to sleep within a manger there;

While Praises through the bleak night, Ascending,

Mark the poor and modest Gloriously Fair.

Finding the Child in Bethlehem’s stall,

Humble Shepherds Bow to an Infant King,

Where Heaven, Bending to Bless one and All,

Smiles, while Angels a Lullaby Sing.

God’s own Child sent to Lead and Heal,

God’s Love and Grace, In Flesh Made Real.

The Cherished hours of family drawing near,

Blessed Heavenly Father, Who brought us Life and Light and Liberty,

Being All,

Be All to me, Be All In Each,

Love, In Love’s Vast Symphony,

Creating All I See,

Infinite Splendor, All In Thee.

We Thank You for The Miracle of Christ’s Birth,

Of Sweet Heaven, come down to Earth,

Vision of Symphonic Trilogy,

Cause us to Pause

to Ponder,

Impossibility,

Of All we Feel, of All we see,

Being All,

Be All in Me, Be All in Each

We Give you Praise for Your Love’s Rich Store,

Teach us to Love, Lord, More and More

Sweetest Harmony,

Beyond Insecurity,

Be Our Treasure of Trust

In this world of Incomprehensibly,

Being All,

Be All in Me, Be All in Each

Blessing of Hope and Joy, Teach us to sing Your Glory,

To Share the Wonder of this Season’s Story

As Implacable Time in Fair Mystery,

Like the Magnificent Ocean and Beauteous Sea,

Sleep Soft – #Poetry of the #NaturalWorld

I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug… with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, “Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.” ~ Lewis Carroll

via I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields . . . — Purplerays

This Beautiful Quote, posted by Purplerays Inspired the following poem.  Thank You!

.

Sleep soft my Darlings

Rest your weary heads and nod;

Lay your burdens at my feet

Where Angels in Winter’s robes have trod.

Sigh Deep and Easy Dearest Ones

In this hour of shifting night,

As tenderness casts its silken cloak

Of Shimmering diamond Light.

Dream of Springtide’s warm Embrace,

Of Dancing in sunlight Reborn;

Prepare for Resplendent garments

Of Blossoming Youth, Joyfully worn.

Sleep soft my Darlings

Beneath this mantle of frozen Splendour;

Renew your Strength, Dearest Beloved,

As I Stand Guard, as Constant Defender!

#FridayFeyDay – Snowflake – #Fairy #Poetry

[image error]

.

See her Dance upon the Shifting Breeze,

Serenade Falling through barren trees,

Where Softness from the sky is falling,

Crisp and cold, her voice is calling;

See her Spin and Twirl in Delight,

As the snow deepens; Oh Wondrous Sight!

As Silence Descends from the Leaden Sky,

Hear the echo of her Whispering Sigh;

Beyond the glimmer of Warm Summer Daze,

Watch her Entrance with her Icy Gaze!
