Remember
Тадеус Jul 2016
Gone be periwinkle
And lilac time also
Meadow full of clover
By firefly aglow.
God help us to remember
Just like a blade of grass
We shall one day wither
We too shall one day pass.
God help us all to be
With You eternally.

Steppingstones have disappeared
Many houses too.

Longing For Spring
Тадеус Nov 2015
Garden bower of summer
light and shade within thick leaves
now lay on the ground.
When time stood still in lovely spring
flowers bloomed, now dormant lay.
Waiting through cold ice
again to greet spring.

Perfume of Earth
Тадеус Jun 2015
Perfume of earth after rain
In wooded walkway nearby—
So delightful and invigorating!
It helps to inhale reverie
I behold with eyes,
Exhale only negative.
Perfume smell nice.
Inhale. - Exhale.*

In Spring
Тадеус Mar 2015
In sweet spring when flowers grow
and trees bedecked in living green
shall cast shade upon moss and fern.
Cedar, pine, beech, ash, and oak
amidst firs and evergreen,
dazzle with drop of morning dew
and laced in spider silk.
In spring forest come alive once more
as does all living things around
with fragrant air to breathe.*

Buried
Тадеус Feb 2015
Buried in feet of snow,
one storm after another one
more snow yesterday
and looks like
more still
coming.
Hopefully

depressed from
so many grey days.
So cold. Some much snow.
Just let it bury me.*

Romance of Season
Тадеус Jan 2015
Snow change dull brown meadow
into a white lacy gown,
glistening with sequins and rhinestone.
Enchanting meadow now bridal white
breathtaking bride—a sight to see
winters kiss and snowy robe.
Touch of romance of season
cold but still warm embrace.

House By Lane
Тадеус Nov 2014
There by the lane,
an old house stand tall.
Amazing enough close to road,
but many vines and shrubs set it back farther.
In need of roof paint and repair,
still a family lives in house by lane.
Family not wealthy, but love dwells there,
and call house by lane their home.

Misery
Тадеус Nov 2014
My mind haunt me again,
no reprieve that I
see in sight.
With heart
aching so badly,
in seeing shorter days.
Light of day end
so quickly,
and misery
pursue
for
weeks.
The silver rose has bloomed
and will not blossom 'til spring.
Withered petal long blown
in winds and decayed.
Ruined are my dreams
that lay scattered about me.
Just like withered petal,
I am softly in misery.

Without You
Тадеус Nov 2014
Devoid of artistry.
Words become annoying,
they be meaningless,
wrung out.
Wrested,
yes wrested,
words only wound
the already injured heart.
Artless tales relate,
read my misery.
All artless,
without
you.
Devoid.
Empty.
Meaningless,
without
you.

Dried Leaf
Тадеус Nov 2014
Nothing but the dried up leaf
that blow all around the lawn.
Leafless tree standing so tall
wave bare branches to the skies.
All have left, I am alone,
and nothing left but dried leaf.
Forsaken by friend, neighbour,
and no one care to see me.
All have left, I am alone.
Nothing left but dried up leaf.
Soon, dried leaf will be forgot,
and I, too, will be forgot.

In Meadows
Тадеус Sep 2014
In meadows green and lush
I often see butterfly on graceful wing
Going about through the day
Flitting flower to flower.
To surprise me along paths
Ladybug rest upon my shoulder
Without a sound as butterfly
But so tiny and colourful
Then flies away home.
Ah, near the closing of day
Firefly light up the meadow so dim
With flickering light so soothing
Night curtains close but warmth of firefly lingers.
Before going to sleep I watch firefly
And listen to nature's nocturne.

How much fun!
Тадеус Aug 2014
In the forest there do dwell
A huge grey hornet nest.
Boy thought would be much fun
To hit it like a ball with all his best.
Much to surprise a cloud of huge bees flew
Into deep water of creek he sling
So hornet at him could not sting
It was too late for he had twenty-two!*


Тадеус
Humor of retelling what I witnessed.
Poor boy got many hornet sting.

I rest on porch swing.
I must be dreaming dazed
For I see the sunset.

Do, on old porch swing.

Just like this lovely day—
Like this lovely day.
Watching it end,
Like this day.

Lavender sunset fills western sky
Crickets starts to sing their song.
As twilight fades into night shades,
I am utterly surrounded by God's love.
In darkest colours I see distant lightning,
And His love is all around me...
I am reminded of that from another,
A bloom of encouragement.
Even in the darkness now,
I remember by yon rose.
Lavender sunset and
Lavender rose.

All In A Day
Тадеус Aug 2014
After all the showers and rain,
The herbs and flowers all seem renewed.
The bubbling stream is fuller now,
And Swallowtails flutter by.
Old greying barn in the distance,
Still useful and Swallows twitter in sky.
Cerulean sky, with Cumulus clouds,
Making shadows on the meadow.
I walk away only to return at evening,
And then sit on steps watching fireflies.
Seeing lamps flickering I pause,
Sweet and sad, they communicate silently.
One comes nearer I watch in silence,
Flitting overhead, and I am put in mind of faith in God.

Sleep Firefly
Тадеус Aug 2014
Sleep on now firefly
You toil all night long,
Shining your lamp until dawn
Rest, firefly, sleep.

Busy firefly in meadow,
How do you work all night?
Still lovely to see your magical
Lamp flickering before I sleep.

Whilst asleep your lamp still blinks,
And like fairies you enchant dreams
Whispers in night breezes
Then sleep, sleep come dawn.

Sleep on now firefly
You toil all night long,
Shining your lamp until dawn
Sleep little firefly, sleep.

Yonder Stream
Тадеус Aug 2014
The flowing of yonder stream
Makes me begin to daydream.
Little waterfalls so swift
And my mind begins to drift.

Water so fresh and so cold
Nearby Beech tree standing bold.
Beside the stream I daydream
Whom could with me sit by stream?

Evening does too soon come
And soon sets that golden sun,
On a day so carelessly
Dreaming dreams so happily.

Lost in thought by yonder stream
I see rays of golden gleam.
Whom could with me sit and dream
Lost in thought by yonder stream?*

Цветение в красоте всей молодежи.

And wish I was one of them
So innocent and sweet

Blooming in beauty of all youth.
