The stirring of starlings shall fill the sky,
A spectacle that makes the spirit fly,
As dusk descends and daylight takes its leave,
Their wondrous dance, a sight to believe.

In countless numbers, they gather near,
A symphony of wings, a sight so clear,
With grace and precision, they come alive,
In the evening air, they freely strive.

Their movements choreographed by some unseen hand,
In perfect harmony, they take their stand,
In unity, they rise and twist and turn,
A mesmerizing sight, for which we yearn.

They weave and blend in patterns vast,
A living canvas, their flight so fast,
The stirring of starlings, a living art,
A testament to nature's boundless heart.

As day gives way to the velvet night,
Their dance continues in soft moonlight,
A reminder of the beauty that can be found,
When creatures of the sky come together, unbound.

So when you see the starlings take to flight,
Remember the magic in their graceful might,
For in the stirring of starlings, you shall see,
The wonder and the beauty of nature's decree.

When you can tell Heaven from Hell,
In the moments when your heart does swell,
A choice unfolds, a path unveiled,
In the crossroads where destinies sailed.

Heaven's grace, a serene embrace,
A realm of love, a sacred space,
Where angels dance on clouds of white,
And all is bathed in eternal light.

But Hell, it beckons with fiery eyes,
A world of shadows, where despair lies,
With flames that scorch and demons dwell,
In the depths of darkness, it casts its spell.

When you can tell Heaven from Hell,
In the choices you make, in the stories you tell,
Remember, dear soul, your power within,
To shape your fate, to choose to win.

In life's grand tapestry, the threads you weave,
With every choice, you truly believe,
That heaven or hell, you'll find your way,
Through the choices you make, night and day.

So listen to your heart, let wisdom guide you,
As you journey through life, side by side,
For in your choices, your destiny dwells,
When you can tell Heaven from Hell.

The Quiet Eyes of a Storm
Stu Harley Sep 2023
The quiet eyes of a storm, they gaze,
In the midst of chaos, their tranquil phase.
Beneath dark clouds, a serene allure,
A paradox of calm, so pure.

In their stillness, a world does wait,
Before the tempest decides its fate.
A hushed anticipation, a silent plea,
For the storm's quiet eyes to set them free.

But within those eyes, a power resides,
A force of nature, where mystery hides.
The calm before, a moment of grace,
Before the storm unleashes its fierce embrace.

The quiet eyes of a storm, they hold,
A story of nature, ancient and bold.
In their depths, a world unfurls,
Where the balance of chaos and peace swirls.

So, we watch and we wait, in awe and dread,
As the quiet eyes of the storm overhead,
Reveal the secrets of earth and sky,
In the silent moment before the storm's cry.

I Shot A Three-Legged Dog

I shot a three-legged dog, my heart in despair,
A moment of darkness, a burden to bear.
In that painful instant, I felt so low,
Regret and sorrow began to grow.

But life is complex, and actions unclear,
Sometimes we're lost, our judgment unclear.
The weight of my choices, heavy and deep,
In the still of the night, I couldn't sleep.

I seek forgiveness for the pain I've caused,
For actions that left me feeling so flawed.
In this moment of truth, I hope to find,
A way to heal the wounds, amend, and bind.

For life is precious, in every form,
And kindness and love should be our norm.
In the shadow of my mistake, I'll strive,
To make amends, and in forgiveness, thrive.

Oh love I promise you
All the things that we do
All this world indigo, violet, and blue
As I think about you
Where the heart builds a bridge
That young lovers go through
oh love I promise you

Words that grow in the heart, a silent art,
Like seeds planted deep, where emotions start.
With each passing moment, they gather strength,
A symphony of feelings, unspoken at length.

They bloom in the silence, tender and true,
Unveiling their beauty in shades of every hue.
Words that grow in the heart, a quiet refrain,
In the garden of emotions, they dance like the rain.

Some may be joyful, like a morning's first light,
Others may be heavy, like the depths of the night.
They're the language of love, of hope and despair,
Whispered to the soul, with a touch of rare flair.

These words, they mature, as seasons unfold,
In the warmth of affection or the chill of the cold.
They're the essence of life, the soul's work of art,
These words that grow in the heart.

sitting up upon
the
blueberry hill of daffodils
was
the
old jack-o-lantern
if you will
just snickering
inside of his  
tantalizing orange skin
while
he
portrayed a wicked whiskey smile
or
just a tight Cheshire cat grin
and
he would greet you
with
a very low spooky - how do you do?
thus
his wicked
bloodshot eyes
traps you into the evil zone
oh what wicked way
we come
on
this
creepy and spooky Halloween night
while
we
gently
whistled pass all of the graves
upon the hill

Jesus not only loved us,
But he also taught us,
To love one another,
As he loved us.

He taught us to forgive,
Even those who have wronged us,
To turn the other cheek,
And to walk the path of peace.

He taught us to be kind,
To the poor and the needy,
To the stranger and the outcast,
To all of God's children.

He taught us to be humble,
To serve others,
And to put the needs of others before our own.

He taught us to be strong,
To stand up for what we believe in,
Even when it is difficult.

He taught us to be courageous,
To face our fears,
And to never give up on hope.

Jesus taught us many things,
But most importantly,
He taught us how to love.

And if we can learn to love,
We can change the world.
Yet, He loved us thus he taught us

For all of the men who sing out loud,
Whose voices fill the air with joy,
Whose songs are a celebration of life,
I raise a glass and say, "Cheers!"

For all of the men who sing for love,
Whose songs are a testament to the power of the heart,
Whose melodies are a balm for the soul,
I raise a glass and say, "To love!"

For all of the men who sing for peace,
Whose songs are a plea for understanding and compassion,
Whose harmonies are a bridge between cultures,
I raise a glass and say, "To peace!"

For all of the men who sing for hope,
Whose songs are a beacon of light in the darkness,
Whose lyrics are a message of hope and possibility,
I raise a glass and say, "To hope!"

For all of the men who sing out loud,
I raise a glass and say, "Thank you!"
Your voices make the world a better place.

Thy heart wears a crown of thrones,
And yet thou art so humble,
So kind, and so gentle.

Thy heart is a treasure trove,
Full of love and compassion,
Of wisdom and understanding.

Thy heart is a beacon of light,
In a world of darkness,
A source of hope and inspiration.

Thou art a blessing to all who know thee,
And I am grateful to have thee in my life.

May thy heart always wear a crown of thrones,
And may thy light continue to shine brightly,
For all to see.

We are made from the same cloth,
You and I,
From the same earth,
The same stardust.

We are all connected,
No matter our race,
Our religion,
Our nationality.

We all have the same capacity for love,
For compassion,
For forgiveness.

We all have the same potential to make a difference,
To leave the world a better place than we found it.

So let us remember,
That we are all made from the same cloth,
And that we are all in this together.

Let us choose to love,
To forgive,
To heal,
To build.

Let us choose to make the world a better place,
For ourselves,
For our children,
For future generations.

We are made from the same cloth,
And we are all connected.

Let us rise up,
And show the world what we can do.

To Be With My God Alone
Stu Harley Aug 2023
To be with my God alone,
In the silence of my room,
Is the greatest joy I know.

To sit in His presence,
And feel His peace wash over me,
Is like being in a warm embrace.

To speak to Him from my heart,
And hear His voice in return,
Is the most comforting thing in the world.

To be with my God alone,
Is to be home.

It is to be at peace.

It is to be loved.

It is to be whole.

I long to be with my God alone,
Every day of my life.

It is the only place where I truly belong.
Stu Harley Aug 2023
Let my heart open and close like a rose,
Breathing in your love and letting it go.
Let it be a vessel of your grace,
A home for your spirit to dwell in.

Let my heart be open to all,
But closed to those who would bring it harm.
Let it be a sanctuary of peace,
A place where all are welcome.

Let my heart be a source of joy,
A fountain of laughter and love.
Let it be a beacon of hope,
A light in the darkness.

Let my heart open and close like a rose,
A symbol of my love for you.

Priests are men inside their robes
Whose words can soothe or scold,
Whose hands can bless or curse,
Whose touch can heal or scold?

They speak of God and heaven,
Of sin and hell and death,
Of love and hope and charity,
Of faith and trust and breath.

But they are just men inside their robes,
With all the same frailties and flaws
That we all have.

They make mistakes,
They sin,
They hurt others,
They get angry,
They cry.

But they are also capable of great love,
Of great compassion,
Of great wisdom,
Of great courage.

So when you see a priest,
Remember that he is just a man,
With all the same frailties and flaws
That we all have.

But also remember that he is a man who has chosen
To dedicate his life to God,
To help others,
To make the world a better place.

So give him the benefit of the doubt,
And try to see the good in him,
Even when he makes mistakes.

Because at the end of the day,
He is just a man inside his robes,
Trying to do his best.

When love is hard to breathe,
I close my eyes and dream of you.
The world around me fades away,
And all I see is you.

I can feel your breath on my skin,
And your lips on mine.
Your touch is like fire,
And I'm burning with desire.

I want to be closer to you,
But I can't seem to get enough.
You fill my heart with so much joy,
But it's also hard to breathe.

I don't know what I would do without you,
You're my everything.
I love you more than words can say,
And I'll never stop loving you.

So when love is hard to breathe,
I'll just close my eyes and dream of you.
Because in my dreams, there's no distance between us,
And I can breathe again.

Oh Love I Know She Will
Stu Harley Aug 2023
Oh, love I know she will,
Come back to me,
As sure as the sun will rise,
And the moon will set.

She is my everything,
My light in the darkness,
My hope in the despair,
My reason for being.

I cannot live without her,
I cannot breathe without her,
I cannot imagine my life without her,
She is my everything.

So oh love I know she will,
Come back to me,
As sure as the sun will rise,
And the moon will set.

I will wait for her,
I will wait forever,
I will never give up hope,
That she will come back to me.
and that, I know she will
Stu Harley Aug 2023
He shall put his light in every storm,
That breaks upon thy way,
And make the darkness bright with form,
And gild the clouds with day.

He shall put his peace in every pain,
That brings thy heart distress,
And make the sorrow bright with gain,
And gild the darkness bless.

He shall put his strength in every fear,
That shakes thy soul with dread,
And make the weakness strong with cheer,
And gild the shadows red.

He shall put his love in every heart,
That feels the touch of care,
And make the darkness bright with art,
And gild the clouds with prayer.

He shall put his joy in every life,
That feels the touch of pain,
And make the darkness bright with strife,
And gild the clouds again.
Thus
To every part of this sweet earth
Spread His mercy and love
And
Be glad in it

Hog Tied Up Again
Stu Harley Aug 2023
hey, everybody, this is old Billy Bob, here
over there in those cute Billy Jeans
well, I just woke up this morning
and looked up toward the sky-blue mirror
meanwhile, down the road,
I see an image of an old gray-haired Billy goat
just chewing on some maple oats and hay
looked like he was chewing on some cherry tobacco
I got a little bit closer for inspection and
watch Mr. Goat spite some cherry tobacco in a tin can
and right about then, I was kicked in the rear end
while some people would say - I was kicked in the tailpipe.
Unfortunately, I was kicked by some crazy *******
down yonder, from Tupelo, county, Mississippi
you know what
I should've never looked
at myself in that ****
crazy *** sky mirror this morning
you know what - chicken ****
hey, I just got hog-******* again
Dag Nabit...shucks!
give everybody a big hug
thank you...very much!

When the jealous mirror has eyes,
Reflections become more than guise,
It gazes deep into the soul's abyss,
Unmasking the truth, a tale amiss.

Its eyes, like sapphires, cold and bright,
Expose the layers hidden from sight,
In its silver depths, secrets reside,
As the jealous mirror becomes our guide.

It reflects the doubts that silently creep in,
And the scars that within us keep,
With every glance, it seeks to unveil,
The stories that our faces might entail.

When the jealous mirror has eyes that see,
It perceives beyond the surface, wild and free,
It reveals the hopes that ignite the heart,
And the fears that tear our dreams apart.

With honesty's touch, it shows what's true,
The battles we fight, the skies so blue,
The jealous mirror, a friend and foe,
It mirrors our journey, highs and lows.

When the jealous mirror has eyes that gleam,
It captures more than what might seem,
In its gaze, we confront what's real,
As it reflects the emotions that we conceal.

So let the jealous mirror bear witness with grace,
To the myriad expressions on life's face,
In its eyes, find a mirror of the soul,
Reflecting the fragments that make us whole.

The rose unto itself that I know.
Is a thing of beauty and grace,
With petals as soft as a dove
And a scent that is like a dream.

The rose unto itself that I know
Is a thing of mystery and wonder,
With thorns that can cut and sting
But also protect its heart.

The rose unto itself that I know
Is a thing of strength and resilience,
With roots that can reach deep into the earth
And a will to survive.

The rose unto itself that I know
Is a thing of love and hope,
With a smile that can light up a room
And a heart that is full of joy.

The rose unto itself that I know
Is a thing of magic and wonder,
A gift from the gods above
To remind us of the beauty of life.

So let us all be like the rose,
Beautiful and strong and resilient,
With a heart full of love and hope.

Let us let our light shine bright,
And let our beauty be a beacon of hope
To those who are lost and afraid.

Let us be the rose unto ourselves,
And let us make the world a more beautiful place.
