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.

Creek rose high in flood
Steppingstones have disappeared
Many houses too.

Autumn fades away
Cold air drift in with the snow
Wood burns fire crackle.

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.

Dark green shade of trees cast by sun
Shining with intense rays
An oasis—found for
Summer suns.*

Тадеус

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.*

Тадеус

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.*

Тадеус

In spring when everything alive
and nature call to me of peace.
Nature call to me in every
breeze and silence.
God speaks
in nature.*

Тадеус

Winter shall remain
for a while yet.
Then daffodils and crocus
will awake.
All around shall be
evidence of life again.*

Тадеус

Buried in feet of snow,
one storm after another one
more snow yesterday
and looks like
more still
coming.
Hopefully
I will feel less
depressed from
so many grey days.
So cold. Some much snow.
Just let it bury me.*

Тадеус

Frozen breath
making ringlet of cloud
from wind chapped lips
and disappear without
a trace. I am like
that exhaled
breath, I
fade.*

Тадеус

Ндеясь на мира
В мире ненависти
Я буду продолжать молиться.

Тадеус

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.

*Тадеус

Snow falling to the ground
so cold, the temperatures are,
but warm inside home aglow
from fireplace I am near.*

Тадеус

She was my best friend,
but now lost in time.
I still remember blond braid
and first kiss, dear Olga.*

Тадеус

Lord, help me please do
I get lonesome in thick woods
without company.*

Тадеус

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.

Тадеус

White are the barren trees
and covered are the boxwood
in ice and snow,
they sleep.

Тадеус

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.

*Тадеус

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.

­*Тадеус

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.

*Тадеус

Windblown bare branches
whistle near creek and the fields.
Soon ice cover pond.

*Тадеус

Sadness is all that is left,
like the Church bells are tolling death.
Shorter daylight make me sad
and remind me of days that are no more.

*Тадеус

Leaves falling from trees
Soon meadow will be frozen
Snow and ice covered.

*Тадеус

Thorns and briars *****
but blossoms are very sweet
as is the perfume.


*Тадеус

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.


*Тадеус

Cosmos, Lantana,
bloom with Coreopsis and
Black-eyed Susan too.
There are many different
beautiful flowers by stream.


*Тадеус

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

The winds pick up
blowing through the evergreens,
reminding me of low notes of Cello.
Owls seek shelter as dawn breaks
and tints the feather-like clouds
with all manner of colour.
A breezy morning...
A new day.


*Тадеус

Standing old deadwood
firewood logs for keeping warm
when cold air move in.


*Тадеус

Butterfly flit across the meadow grass
As evening curtains begin to close
Crickets and Katydids sing
And Firefly dance about
The black vestment of
The night.


*Тадеус

So weary and tired now
I rest on porch swing.
I must be dreaming dazed
For I see the sunset.
I nap, which I never
Do, on old porch swing.
Work is over leaving now
Just like this lovely day—
Like this lovely day.
Watching it end,
Like this day.


*Тадеус

Sweet incense of rain
fill the air along with the
perfume of roses.

*Тадеус

I saw raindrops sliding down my windowpane.
In the raindrop, that slid as a tear down my windowpane,
I saw God.


*Тадеус

A kind friend only
could inspire me to write
more every day.

*Тадеус

Я молюсь за Всемогущего Бога,
Грант исцеление для вас быстро.


**Тадеус

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.

*Тадеус

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.


*Тадеус

O' your light keeps on shining,
and in the darkness it only shines brighter.

*Тадеус

Radiant glow of a smile on your face
Is like the warming light of firefly.
Smile. Turn the frown around
And your day embrace.

*Тадеус

Я сжег мосты
Я сделал много лет назад.
Я наступил новый путь
И сделал новые мосты
Вдоль моего путешествия.

Тадеус

Spikes of lavender
with aroma sweet.
Rose blooms of silver
hue with Phlox at feet.
Did you see the Rose
at the lamp post lined?
There were two shades seen
but they had entwined.
Waiting for the day
come swiftly please do.
It shall be the day
when my heart finds you.

*Тадеус

Бог говорит через гром,
Но и в еще маленький голос.

Тадеус

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.

*Тадеус

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?*

Тадеус

Облака. Пасмурное небо свинцовые серый,
Хотя это может показаться темной, но мое сердце ярко.
Темные облака не могут затемнить сердце
И есть красота даже в свинцовое небо.

Тадеус

Я смотреть детей в игре
И жаль, что я был одним из них
Так что невинные и сладкий
Как я долго еще раз, чтобы быть одним.

Маленькая девочка с косами
Маленький мальчик с волосами, бросил
Все веселье в нежной юности
Цветение в красоте всей молодежи.


Тадеус

Those solemn bells ring
sometimes all evening long
knells for funeral.

Тадеус

Morning dew on meadow grass
glimmers like clear crystals and diamonds.
From window pane I view,
the essence of sheer delight—birth of new day.
Birds sing sweet melodies
as light filters through tree branches.
Swaths of misty rays
mingle with sweet rose aromas.
God touched Earth,
even though never seen.

*Тадеус

Mint to flavour my tea picked fresh
and Stevia to sweeten my cup.
Watching swallows flit in evening sky
from my small porch sipping tea.
