The earth is teeming with delights!
We have a few, but want them all.
They beckon with a siren call
And offer solace in the night.
But o the folly, o the fright!
Awakening upon the worst,
We find our hoped-for blessings cursed;
Our choices hasty and unwise…
But we can choose the Spirit’s eyes
And focus on the Heavens first!

Ronovan Writes Décima Poetry Challenge Prompt No. 29 (FRIGHT) This week, it’s the A rhyme line.
In folly frenzy finds us caught
When running races we are off
With dashed decisions’ desperate calls
Inviting us to folly’s halls.
By taking tests and testing time,
We rest in rhythm’s reasoned rhyme.
With Nature’s knowing we are fed
By bearing boldly, being blessed!
When frenzy’s folly faces fate,
We wait on wisdom’s choice to make!

My response to
DVerse Poetics: Folly.
One Light is all we need and All we are.
Through Light we live, we spark, we shine like stars.
The All There Is, One Life, no you or I.
Truth breathes One Breath, no end to Life so high.
We think, “What if?” We ask; our mind says, “BUT!”
No change in laws of who and where and what.
Go in! Go in to seek, to see, to find
One Light, One Life, right here, right now, in Mind!
Do hope, do love, do live and be your best;
Light guides all back to One; in Whom we rest.

This is a “10×10” or “Vocabularicon” Poem, developed by Ronovan. I can’t say I’ve met the challenge and used great vocabulary in mine, but there it is. It’s not that easy… Try one if you dare!
Learn how to write one here.
Stand up! Write on! Be brave, my friends!
Music draws me closer,
Like a moth to a flame.
I enter velvet sound
And sigh with inner peace.

Leaves drifting from trees
Light reflects, receeds, renews
Rainbow colors fall.
Rainbow colors Fall
Orange, red, browns darkening
Nature calls for change.
Nature calls for change
Within our bodies ringing
Tides that ebb and flow.
Tides of ebb and flow
Earth and sky and sea respond
As below, above.

A Shi Rensa Haiku,
Developed by Ronovan,
written in response to
Heeding Haiku with Chèvrefeuille: Colors.
We know the things we shouldn’t do,
But often we refuse to wait.
We’re causing karma, tempting fate
With consequences. That’s the truth.
Yet we’re not lost, and we’re not through!
The soul within us always lasts
In present’s future, leaving past.
We’re living out the ebb and flow
That Nature-God already knows,
By choice becoming what we ask!

A Decima for this week’s challenge:

My magnum opus isn’t done!
It’s really only just begun!
It brings fulfillment, joy and bliss,
Hiding exactly what it is…
Attracting with magnetic force,
While Spirit guides my journey’s course.
Oh soul, awake my mind to know,
Why music keeps me striving so!

In each particle.

“Trentham” was composed by the British organist, Robert Jackson, in 1878. It is one of several musical settings for the hymn, “Breathe on Me, Breath of God.”
The lyrics were written by Edwin Hatch, also in 1878. They are based on John 20:21-22, which read, “Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost.” [King James Version (KJV)]
This is a hymn for Pentocost, but this being the coming of the Holy Spirit, it is a beautiful hymn at any time of year.
I hope you enjoy this arrangement played on alto (UK treble) recorder and zither!
