Angel's Call

Between the twilight of the stars
Resounds the musical notes and bars
Which dance beside the moon that beams?
Reflections of rainbows caressing our dreams

Oh, how the cover of fleeting dusk
Opens the shadows of this trust
Collected in a collage of words
Sonnets of a lesser purge

What lies in our earthly passage?
Inside our souls is there a message
For time moves in a ghastly haste
We seek to find just what we chase

Is reality the quicken of our fate
Do we travel this road for our sake?
Does destiny resides in the falling sands
Can death be the drummer of the band?

The hopes to a much better life
Away from misery and much strife
Will cascade towards a somber end
To those who die with mortal sins

I feel that justice has a price
It comes in the roll of the dice
Moving in flows of wishful might
Brings a sparkle to the night

In the rainbows of pure delight
Lives the saving grace so bright
It’s given free to one and all
Who listens to the Angel’s call?

Sweet Dreams

Dedicated: My Far Away Friend

If I could lead you by the hand

Towards the summit of this land

What marvels the eye would see?

In their glance towards serenity

For in this range of snow and ice

Lay valleys of love that do entice

One to a different kind of life

An aroma of much lesser strife

Inside the shadows of our homes

Grow the gardens soon to loom

With seeding flowers and singing birds

A sure sign that spring will soon emerge

As we transverse the ice blue lakes

We’ll walk along smooth sands that date

To a calm and kinder time of fate

Where souls contrive and hold no hate

Along the grassy plains which crest

Upon the base of mountains we’ll test

The inner strength of nature’s best

In retaining the spirit of this quest

We’ll forge together always as friends

For in the end our thoughts will trend

From special feelings we shall beam

Beyond the cosmos of sweet dreams

Darken Dens

Way down deep within my soul

A howling wind is blowing
Sending chills ever so cold
I try to keep from showing

Knowing not where I'm going
makes it feel surreal totally unknowing
Towards the center of something glowing
My heart seems to be flowing

Wondering if all my thoughts are shallow
I'll thread lightly hoping all to be mellow
Marching to a tune not sure how to follow
On a road so callous and hallow

As I seek what lies around the bend
I pray and hope a kindness will lend
A helping hand to a man whose sinned
Upon wilderness filled with darkened dens

I've hurt those I love I want to make amends
Before time runs its course my soul commends
To a brightness within a never ending light
For I am ready to meet this glorious sight

I have set my house in order
At the river's end I'll cross that border
Into a grace so lined with peace
I'll dine at the table of a new feast

The sting of death I once thought I feared
I know embrace with joyful tears
My time at hand has been blessed
By the Master's shield and his regal crest
