in music poem Tags: day, gift, LORD, love, morning, sing
every evening i rest in you
grant sleep to those you love
every morning i’m still with you
awakened by Spirit above
rejoice with the sun, the dawn is breaking
come greet the new day the Lord is making
every day is a gift from you
give me a song to sing
every moment is breath from you
give purpose to everything
rejoice with the birds, the day is breaking
come see the new day the Lord is making
every blessing comes from you
good gifts from God above
every morning given by you
our generous Father of love

teardrops fall
in the middle of the night
no more hope?
turn on light to read good word
spirit buoyed on waves of love
A tan renga in response to Chevrefeuille’s haiku at CDHK post “on waves of love”.

do not be afraid
we cannot see whole picture
love shall overcome
we must look beyond ourselves
Jesus Christ offers us HOPE!

Tuna, baby
you’re the one
you make playtime
so much fun
Tuna, baby
i’m meow-fully
fond of you.
You’re a love ball
made of fur
and we love to
hear you purr
Tuna, baby
we’re meow-fully
fond of you.
(Sung to the tune of “Rubber Ducky” by Bert on Sesame Street)

Linking to Carpe Diem Haiku Kai in the month of love…
be my valentine
red roses, dark chocolates
bake a heart-shaped cake
mama and i shared birthday
brief time to celebrate love
❤ ❤ ❤
If someone gives you their heart, you can’t give it back without breaking it.
❤ ❤ ❤
heart broken open…
perhaps that lets the love out
to spill on others?

she stares at him
elbows akimbo and
painfully pointed, as
white alabaster shall
shatter to tiny tinkling
shards of heartsong
he doesn’t notice,
yet if never, how it
feels to desire, aching
for words; arms bent
to work longer, those
urgent cows in kilts
piano sails fast clipper
lingers on guitar strum
dishwasher humming
wet wipers swish back
and forth; passengers
on dismal carousel ride
A free verse surrealistic poem for dVerse Poetics.

Linking to dVerse poetics where Amaya asks us to “cry me a river” with music.
why do i love you still
so deeply it hurts?
cry of man’s solo voice
breaks lonely hearts
sigh of flute’s minor-keyed
lament clearly haunts
try to release emotion in
sealed letters unsent
nigh insane from promised
satin nights unspent
fly to LOVE himself, the
primal truth unbent.
For me, this old song is crying put to music. To love is to be vulnerable and to risk not being reciprocated…but we love anyway and love is real; powerful, often painful.
The Moody Blues first recorded this song in 1967 and here they reunited to sing it again years later.
In my youthful innocence, I first thought the words were “knights in white satin” 🙂 I play flute so I’m drawn to the instrument’s mellow sound.
For believers, love songs can also reflect God’s amazing love for us!
feliz navidad
