God in his glory
Gave us this morn
Placed dew on the grass
And proclaimed it his dawn

God in his beauty
Brought flowers and trees
Painted their petals
And rust set the leaves

God in his goodness
Taught us to care
For man, bird and beast
And his treasures to share

Through the innocent eyes
Of each child from above
God in his knowing
Gave us his love

Crumpled dream
Shifting sand
Fools gold
Combustion

Shattered echo
Broken glass
Star burst
Horizon

Gather me up and lay me down
Quell this trembling
Fear in my eyes
To pierce and burn
Poison myself with pain

Shake me like dust, let me float
This coil unfurl
Tension of limbs
Angry and taught
Die, but to rise again
Joanne Smith Jul 2016
I sit and watch the sunrise
Over a gnarled begotten place
Drained of life and substance
Lingering on the edge of space

You sit and watch the sunset
'Cross a friendly vibrant place
Where life moves ever onward
And time just gathers pace

We'll sit and watch the sun rise
In a place we know not yet
Life and time will seem eternal
As we sit and watch sun set
Joanne Smith Jul 2016
Dawn awakes
and of the sun
I sip

Birds cry
and of the song
I sip

Petals open
and of the beauty
I sip

Trees sway
and of the breeze
I sip

Life anew
and of this
I drink
Joanne Smith Jul 2016
I love your lips when they're wet
with wine,
and red with wild desire

I love your smile when the
warmth and love
sets my poor old heart on fire

I love your arms when your
warm white flesh
touches mine in warm embrace

I love your hair, like a
gilded cage
to enmesh kisses on my face

I love you, just the way
you are
Uninhibited......Unafraid
Joanne Smith Jul 2016
Come rest your weary head
upon my pillow
And let us dream of times
when love was ours
Forget the world
with all its tears and sorrow
And remember the good times
which we shared

For when tomorrow comes
it will be over
And gone forever will be
what we had
But the memories we share
remain unspoken
Locked deep within our hearts
A treasured past
