The sheltering song
Of overwhelming love,
Alights upon my heart
On the wings of a dove.

Dust
Picasso
Aligned with vanity,
So much disappears
That holds hope;
That leads thought;
That blows away.
The dust knows not
The wind nor the ground –
Making peace with each
once, in a while.
Can it be my soul?
A foot on the rung
That Ascends,
Temporal to eternal.
Or, the heart of faith?
Firmly grounded in perspective
Greater than a day.
How shall I be?
Who am I now?
The heavenly voice
Engraved on my heart,
Shall ever be
The place where my soul
Is firmly cleaved.
And I shall be revived.
“My soul clings to the dust;
Revive me according to Your word.”
Ps 119 25,26
future gaze
I wonder if I’d found some way,
to circumvent those fruitless tries,
truly to avoid –
by some degree,
a pocketful of
deceitful lies.
When these questions might’ve been asked,
subject seldom was ever raised,
but now answers –
take life’s past portions
and blend with present’s
future gaze.

Henri LeBasque
Strong is the pull
to Mother’s womb
a time of innocence
gone so soon.
Stronger is inherent drive
to Father’s gaze
a time for worthiness
reverence and praise.

Optism is the brighter way,

joy
Winter stark,
daily dark,
happiness slips away.
Born anew,
brighter hue,
joy is here to stay.
