The sun is burning
The sun is a ball of fire,
Rising in the East.

**~Marian~

A big ball of fire,
Always spreading warm sunshine,
To light up dark days.

**~Marian~

I just love the sunray,
To brighten everyday!
I love it! Don't you
When sunshine fills the sky of blue?

I always love to it see,
As it is always a treasure for me,
When the sun hits against the trees;
And looks as if it's burning the leaves.

We always need sunshine,
Along with Jesus to fill our heart, soul, and mind,
Without God;
We're just a piece of sod.

When Jesus cleans our hearts all through,
It's only then that we'll feel happy instead of blue,
He's the Only One Who makes us glad;
Instead of always being sad!

Colours big and bright,
It will soon be night.
A day is dying,
Leaving me crying!

The sunset turns grey,
The end of a day,
Your colours so bright,
Are turning so dark!

Now the moon and stars,
Are shining at night,
The colours so bright;
Have so soon faded.

The colours faded,
It is now twilight,
Your colours so bright;
Have so soon faded!

*~Marian~

The day is ending,
Your sweet colours light the sky,
A day has ended.

~Marian~

Sunsets are red, the ocean blue,
Cinderella is sweet because she is YOU!!!!

*~Marian~

Part I

I feel the sunshine,
The warmth and the beauty
Of it on my face.

Sunshine in my heart
Making me sing a sweet song,
A sweet melody.

Sunshine in my face,
Leaving me it's pretty grace,
Of it's love so warm.

Sunshine in my head,
Making me think of my friends,
And my parents dear.

Sunshines on you, friend,
Makes your heart light and happy,
Makes you feel carefree!

Makes you want to dance,
Through fields of everlasting
Sweet and soft flowers.

Sunshines through dark,
Making everything light,
It is day again.

Sunshine forever,
Even through dark times in your,
Beautiful-bright life!

~Marian~

Today The Sun Is Shining
And I Feel Like Dancing

*~Marian~

I found your printer ink, Dad
I stubbed my toe a few times
When I was trying to search for it
This is my surprise for you
Maybe this isn't such a good
Surprise after all?

*~Marian~

"You're teaching me how to bake homemade goodies. Thank you!"

The Beauty Of Flowers (Multiple Tankas II)

The garden trellis
Climbing Salêt Moss rose blooms
Perfume light and sweet.
Light lavender-pink blossoms—
Nice outside or in a vase.

English bluebells dance
On either side of the path
In the cool forest
They nod and sway in sunlight
Lifting their heads to the dawn

Meadows full of blooms
Larkspurs, Daisies, and Poppies
All create beauty.
So splendid a sight to see
In the Spring and Summertime.

Near the Dutch windmill
Daffodils and iris bloom
In the warm sunshine
During the sweet summer day
They look towards the blue sky

Waterfalls o'er stones,
Mossy and slick though they be
My eyes do behold;
Trillium of white and mauve,
All amid Running Cedar.

~Timothy & Marian~

La beauté des fleurs (plusieurs Tankas II)


Le treillis de jardin
Escalade Salêt Moss rose fleurs
Parfum léger et doux.
Lumière des fleurs de lavande-rose —
Nice à l'extérieur ou dans un vase.

Danse de jacinthes des bois français
De chaque côté du chemin
Dans la forêt cool
Il hoche la tête et se balancent en plein soleil
Soulever la tête à l'aube

Prés de fleurs
Larkspurs, marguerites et coquelicots
Tous créent de la beauté.
Tellement splendide un spectacle à voir
Au printemps et en été.

Près du moulin à vent hollandais
Les jonquilles et les fleurs de l'iris
Dans la chaleur du soleil
Pendant la journée été doux
Ils regardent vers le ciel bleu

Chutes d'eau sur les pierres,
Moussu et luisante, bien qu'ils
Mes yeux Voici ;
Trille blanc et mauve,
Tout au milieu des Cèdres en cours d'exécution.

*~ Timothy et Marian ~

He clasps the crag with crooked hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ringed with the azure world he stands.

The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mounatin walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls.

Alfred Lord Tennyson   **1809--1892

Part I

Here they come to me,
To dance with me through the air,
Spinkling fairy dust!

I will walk with them,
Through the Enchanted Forest,
To see their sweet world.

It is so pretty!
With flowers and ferns blooming,
By the pretty beck.

Moss-covered boulders,
Making stepping stones across,
The beautiful beck!

Sunrays hit the beck,
And make it very pretty,
Such a pretty scene!

Daisies and flowers,
Lavender and bluebells grow,
Beside the sweet beck!

Every flower blooms,
Here in pretty fairyland,
Come along with me!!*
