Bees #Nonet #Poem

Posted on by

A bee’s life is valid in itself.
We could learn so much, if we tried!
Living in community,
Taking just what they need,
Giving all they can!
We miss the mark
Looking out
For MY
Needs…

Joyful Noise #Decima #Poem

Posted on by

O music is for everyone!
You need no talent, training, poise
To make your spirit’s joyful noise!
Relax, let go, and have some fun
Each morning, noon, when day is done.
For music is the straightest line
Connecting us to God Divine,
A gift we, one and all, are giv’n,
A way to catch a glimpse of Heav’n!
O give your joyful noise a try!

“All Things Bright and Beautiful” #Music

Posted on by

Download “All Things Bright and Beautiful” Mp3

Here are 2 musical settings for the hymn, “All Things Bright and Beautiful.” If you live in the United States, you’re probably most familiar with the first one, composed by William Monk. If you live in the United Kingdom, you probably know “Royal Oak,” the traditional melody for the second setting.

I hope you enjoy hearing these tunes on Oriole (soprano) and alto recorder (which plays the verses of “Royal Oak”), with ukulele accompaniment!

Break #Poem

Posted on by

Imprisoned in our self-made walls,
We want, yet fear, our breaking free.
And so we mend each spreading crack
To keep known negativity.

When wishing turns to painful pearls,
We make our choice and don’t look back!
The prison crumbles, disappears!
For our own thoughts release the trap!
