White veined marble spires and domes,
reaching to heaven and the warmth of the sun.
Shocking bright red cardinals in dim churches,
Waiting for their lord to come.
Bright crosses in red and gold.
Colorful pictures of glass
Silent posed white statues,
Just waiting for time to pass.
Bright skies striking blue lagoon,
A city of people afloat
Red bell towers that ring on Sundays,
Ripples of water running along a dark boat.
Grey stonewalls of lichen green,
Drinking the morning dew
Writhing there way from field to field
Across the country view.
Nestled deep in shiny dale.
Lay Small blue slate towns.
Covered in sparkling raindroped sunlight,
Glittering like Royal crowns.
Of a gentle soul, and warm love,
Remembered for all of time.
Now with bright white angeled wings
Sending messages of love from above.
Smile on her face heart and stamp in hand,
All greeted with loving grace.
Yet still dreaming of another land.
Another time. Another place.
GODS GIFTS
I took away what makes a bird sing
It was the only way I could win her love
Now she trills and sings and flies on gossamer wings,
I think talents and gifts are wonderful things,
And are better shared.
When a rainbow kissed a star,
the colors could be seen from afar.
On gentle love they float to earth,
To show the World their priceless worth.
On landing they blossomed and flowered.
Gifts for you and me they showered,
In colors of love of rainbow star,
To color the world, near and far.
A blossom head in yellow or pink
Can surely only make you think
Of me, my love, my rainbow gift.
And heal my broken heart in rift.
Of things and how they could have been
Of deep love that brushed my heart and cheeks
Of pain, of loss, of despair lasting for weeks
I sit and slip into a dream
Of new love so deep and keen
Of hair brushing a tearful cheek
Of the joy of holding a lover week after week
I sit and slip into a dream
Of lost love and angels on the bed
Of the people who helped with a smile, and a nod of head
Of the many loved souls gone ahead
I sit and slip into a dream
Of people that just brushed my life
I wake to know the angles are real
And thank god for all the people that feel
And love; and care
Imagine
John Lennon
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religon too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...Imagine no possesions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
In a brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...You may say i'm a dreamer
But i'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one
AGEING
The years fall upon my body
But leave the brain alone
So I feel a prisoner of flesh and bone
And pain becomes my hobby
I still remember being handsome and bright
But can only hide myself now
Few gifts god, to me can endow
As mirror looking becomes a fright
When face to face with Angles I stand
Will they know my face?
Will they know I lived with grace
And welcome me with open hand?
