straight
to heaven

all things shall pass
all things do not last
where
life and death collide
then
all the seasons shall pass
but
young lovers love
at last
somehow
life laughter and longevity
where
sun moon and stars
make a covenant
in the
holy name of our lord
upon
this sweet earth
as it is in heaven
what
holy light radiate from thee
becometh
the eyes of
the
lily or the rose

with
all
the
green leaves
attached
to
my soul

is
the place
where
i
was born
the
place
for
me to die

of
my dream within

rest of
our lives
look around

All through the Lord, in His divine grace,
Guiding us through life's intricate maze.
In every breath, in each sunrise's hue,
His presence shines, steadfast and true.

In the whispers of winds, in oceans' roar,
In mountains high and valleys' floor,
His love prevails, a boundless sea,
Embracing all, both you and me.

Through trials faced and victories won,
In the rising and setting of the sun,
In moments of joy and moments of pain,
The Lord's embrace, a constant refrain.

In every smile shared, in every tear shed,
The Lord's compassion, an unbroken thread.
His mercy flows in rivers wide,
All through the Lord, love does abide.

In prayers whispered in the silent night,
In the stars' dance, so pure and bright,
In life's symphony, its highs and lows,
The Lord's presence, an unwavering prose.

In the symphony of life's rich chords,
In His guidance, we find our reward.
All through the Lord, His grace we find,
A sanctuary for the heart and mind.

So, in each chapter, in every accord,
We find solace, all through the Lord.
In His embrace, we stand tall and free,
For His love endures eternally.

as my father reads
the morning journals
tasting fresh coffee
while, listening
to Pavane
there i stood
this i
truly know
that my
daddy loves
me so
because he
sent me
all the way
to the
university
where i earned
all of my college degrees
thus, a Rhodes Scholar
in academia
in following
all of thy dreams
all of thy passions
and i
love you more

no

i
kissed
her
soft lips with care
but
all thy love is fair
while
the
wind whispers
through
her
maple brown hair
while
all thy love is fair

"All thy works here upon this earth,
In nature's grand and wondrous birth.
From mountains tall to oceans wide,
In every corner, beauty hides.

The forests are green, the deserts dry,
Beneath the endless, open sky.
All creatures, big and small, they roam,
In this earthly, sacred home.

The rivers flow, the flowers bloom,
In nature's tapestry, there's room.
For every color, every sound,
In this world, so vast, profound.

Let's cherish it, protect with care,
This planet we're entrusted to bear.
For in all thy works, we find our worth,
On this precious, fragile earth."

A thread of crimson, through the heart it weaves,
Binding two souls, like leaves on autumn's eve.
(Image of two souls intertwined amidst autumn leaves)

Beyond the flesh, where shadows dimly play,
A deeper song, the spirits interlace.
(Image of two souls intertwined amidst starlight)

No mortal chains, nor vows in whispered air,
Can hold as strong as love's own whispered prayer.
(Image of two souls intertwined embracing)

Through laughter's light, and sorrow's tear-stained stream,
The lovers' bond, a moonlit, silver dream.
(Image of two souls intertwined under a moonlight sky)

For in the hush, where secrets gently hide,
Two hearts aflutter, beat as one inside.
(Image of two souls intertwined sharing a heartbeat)

A whispered touch, a gaze that speaks untold,
A love eternal, braver than the bold.
(Image of two souls intertwined gazing into each other's eyes)

Let doubt and fear like phantoms fade away,
In love's embrace, forever and a day.
(Image of two souls intertwined fading into the sunset)

For though the world may spin, and seasons change,
The lovers' bond, forever will remain.

Amazing love, with broad shoulders wide,
In its embrace, fears and sorrows subside.
A strength that carries burdens untold,
A refuge where weary hearts find a stronghold.

With shoulders broad, it bears the weight,
Of trials and challenges, both small and great.
In its embrace, it offers a place to rest,
A sanctuary where souls feel blessed.

Through tempests and storms, it stands tall,
Supporting the weary, one and all.
It carries hope and dreams so vast,
In its embrace, hearts find repast.

Amazing love, with shoulders wide,
A haven where fears and doubts collide.
It holds the broken, it mends the torn,
In its embrace, new hope is born.

With each burden lifted, each load it bears,
Amazing love shows how much it cares.
It carries the world with steadfast might,
In its broad shoulders, a guiding light.

So, in amazing love, we find our way,
A strength to endure, come what may.
For in its embrace, burdens grow lighter,
Amazing love, an eternal fighter.
Stu Harley Jan 16
In stillness deep, where shadows fade,
A heart unfolds, its prayer displayed.
Beneath the hush of dawn's embrace,
I seek Your light, Your sacred grace.

No incense burns, no chants arise,
Just gentle breaths, beneath the skies.
The whispering leaves, a verdant choir,
Echoing hymns, my soul's desire.

I close my eyes, let thoughts take flight,
On feathered wings, bathed in Your light.
Through tangled webs of doubt and fear,
Your presence shines, dispelling tear.

The river's song, a calming flow,
Washes away the seeds of woe.
In every grain, in every stone,
Your touch I feel, I am not alone.

The mountain's peak, a silent guide,
Points to the heavens, vast and wide.
And in the stars, like diamonds set,
Your love unfurls, I can't forget.

No words can speak the awe I find,
In nature's art, You fill my mind.
A grateful hush, a whispered sigh,
In this communion, You and I.

So let me dwell in this retreat,
Where soul and spirit gently meet.
A meditation, pure and deep,
In Your embrace, forever I will sleep.

And when I rise, with light renewed,
Your love will carry, understood.
A silent vow, a whispered song,
A meditation with God, all life long.

Love, what is your query, do tell,
In your enigmatic depths, do emotions swell?
Are you a question waiting to be heard,
A riddle unsolved, a lyrical word?

Do you seek solace or seek to give,
In your endless reservoir, where feelings live?
Are you a mystery that forever lures,
A celestial melody, a universe that endures?

Are you the answer to life's grand quest,
In your gentle whispers, the heart's behest?
Or are you the question that hearts pursue,
A quest for meaning, for something true?

Love, are you a paradox, a duality divine,
In your essence, where souls entwine?
Do you unravel the mysteries of the soul,
A boundless ocean, an ultimate goal?

So, love, what is your query, if I may,
In your depths, where emotions sway?
Are you the question or the answer sought,
A journey's essence, a lesson taught?
