Winter's Wraith

Winter's wraith sighs mist

Gelid stream chills break of day

Wild things bear the brunt

Life Is Bliss

Life’s twined path weights heart

Bemused spirit needs easement

Real world lays bare bliss

Sodden Bliss

Harmony

Calm lake stirs desire

Peaceful woodlands uplift soul

Untroubled heart soars

Harmony
(Lake Jordan at Cooper's Cove)

Heavenly Music

Mellow muse haunts meandering lakeshore,

Makes known her presence in sunlit dance

Among pine boughs, now and forevermore,

As dreamscape stillness quiets lake expanse.

She prevails upon wintertime’s cold guest,

To take the edge off frost-bound harmony

And concede such respite helps to manifest

Music of the universe most perfectly.

Take notice mortal heart and soul divine,

Blessedness and glimpse of life eternal

Reside in nature’s breath at lakeside shrine

And artful nave of woodland cathedral.

Heavenly music sustains bliss and makes whole

Throes of life astride the human heart and soul.
