There are words, not yet said
Not yet written, so not yet read

They're magic words, that make real
The love we share, the way we feel

Such magic words, you can't resist
They hold the key, of lips yet kissed

With these words, I will wed
Not your body, but soul instead

Forever mine, your heart will be
When Angels whisper words for me

Insanity

Slipping, I can't hold on
Sliding, on the icy pond

Falling now, without a rope
Desperate, I can not cope

Screaming, without a voice
Insanity is not a choice

I pray you sleep
I pray you smile
I pray you dream on this awhile
Where love abounds,
I pray you know
Only happy seeds will grow!

Plug into me
And you will feel
A love so strong
You'll know it's real

I'll charge you up
I'll make you smile
For what I feel
There's no denial

Can you feel
My Energy
Let it flow through you
In  all you do!
Was playing with writing lyrics.  First try.  Always amazed at the lyrics of great songs.  Humbled when I write

The Lunchtime Poet
When you were old enough
You answered the call to serve
Many friends among you
Didn't have the nerve

Off to basic training
Learn to fight a war
Time to become a man
Off to a foreign shore

Battles you will face
Put your life on the line
Dying for your country
To you that would be fine

For our freedom
You paid with your life
Leaving your parents
Kids and a wife

Thank you for your sacrifice
A cost we cannot repay
Allow us to honor you
On this Memorial Day

Our Country
Forever in your debt
Promises that...
We will never forget

Gray hides clear and blue
daylight turns into darkness

Feasting table under a shading tree
Swaddling robe that warmly cleans
Mirror beautifying while it reflects
Sword that pierces yet never rejects
Light penetrating the blackest hole
Water filling and healing the soul

"For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

"Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need."

~ Hebrews 4:12-16

Pure white in flight
brown rivers rush
a seagull

Swooping under the bridge
a pure white flash
seagull

Brown river flowing
under the dark bridge
white gull

Seagull swoops
under the bridge of brown
pure white flash

White moment
an arched shape of pure white
seagull

White flying flash
in the shape of an arc
a seagull

Under the bridge
one white flower blooms
spring

Below the dark bridge
an anemone flowers
full moon

Brown waters
the river flows fast
one wood anemone
I caught sight of a seagull swooping under the bridge, the moment I leant over to look down into the brown water flowing fast, it seemed a moment I wanted to record somehow, so I thought the short haiku-like poems would do. Do you have alternatives?
