Leaves

Image
 Leaves...         ...falling...            (Winter calling)           Green... Yellow... Orange... Red... Brown...    Dry on the ground Dead leaves all around Blown with a northerly sound Inundated by reminiscences of yonder  I  contemplate and ponder Visions of death in a scene oh so somber! And I wonder w hat lies ahead for me... When all I see is sorrow Twirling past into tomorrow God only knows why! (Even if I cry) Nature changes for a reason Bringing in a new season Of (hopefully) hope, joy, wisdom If only we would choose to forgive Bury the past and forget Live and let live Love with no regret! Fallen Autumn leaves, Rest in peace Beneath Winter's (dormant) promises!

Mais que palavras

Image
Se os atos já mal expressam  um sentir 'quizás' fictício, que seriam as palavras  senão meros artifícios de poetas ilusórios,  que, com meros acessórios, vocábulos e expressões,  verbalizam as mentiras de seus ocos corações? Palavras apenas não bastam quando se trata de amor E se ora calo é por crer que só os atos tem valor. .................................... Original de 13 de Julho de 1984

The Show

Image
So here I am, on a windy afternoon Watching the best show ever: Passing clouds, gray, white, Flying curtains brushing the windows of my eyes Revealing and concealing blue hues of a shy sky This moving show moves me within I am a leaf that stirs in the tree But yearns to be free Whilst my thoughts consider this scene Of howling gusts on the cumulus nimbus The strangest thing happens: I get carried away ... awake in this dream!

Saudade

Image
S entimentos infinitos misturam-se em meu íntimo A ntes nunca foi difícil ver passarem-se as semanas U ma centelha diminuta que consome e cria anseios D e que adianta o desespero dos minutos que se arrastam? A vida deveria ser curtida a cada ínfimo segundo! D entre todos os momentos, somente poucos realmente valem: E les são como pequenos grãos isolados, porém, embora nossos,  caem, também, nas lembranças felizes de um passado... 

The Halo

Image
A mother's love, oh so dear The Lord made soft yet strong to endure Whatever toil, storm, or nightmare In constant vigil, ever so near... A mother's heart bears no fear: Springing mercies and prayers, Pierces its halo up onto heaven  And melts the heart of God!

The Treasure Map to Secret Wisdom

Image
Are you in search of that which is secret? Secret ...  ... Knowledge ...  ... Power ...   ... Treasures ...          ... Immortality ... Wisdom beyond human capabilities ?  It is in a book, hidden from most people.  Even from the most intelligent people, it is hidden.  It has been available to some,  and hidden from others for a long, long time. I am, for no merit of my own, counted among those who have chosen to seek, find, and share this secret with others.  I can try to show it to you,  but I cannot guarantee you will be able to see it and understand it. My ardent hope is that you will. Here are some clues : "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise;  the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate." (1) "No, we speak of God's secret wisdom among the mature, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. None of the rulers of this age under...

On Independence Day and what Independence means for Americans

Image
INDEPENDENCE DAY, 4TH OF JULY: On this day, we, the people of the United States of America, will celebrate our country's INDEPENDENCE! INDEPENDENCE and FREEDOM, though, are NEVER FREE: they ALWAYS cost someone blood, sweat, tears, and eternal vigilance... INDEPENDENCE has always come as a result of wars that have been fought, of all the brave people who have died so we could have our freedom: freedom of speech, religion, freedom to even share our photos and messages on our Facebook pages, phones, and blogs - just to give the silliest example... In some countries, people cannot choose how many children they may have, who they may marry, their religion or ruler, to say nothing of women: in many countries, they have absolutely NO RIGHTS! I could go on and on about fundamental rights, such as LIFE, a gift from God, DENIED and taken away without freedom of choice... While we celebrate INDEPENDENCE DAY on this  4th of July, it would be wise to keep our eyes ...
