Frenzy’s Folly #Poem

Posted on by

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!

“Sí Bheag, Sí Mhór” Irish Trad. #Music

Posted on by

Download Mp3

Pronounced “Sheebeg, Sheemore,” this Irish folk tune is often attributed to Turlough O’Carolan. “Sí” means “fairy mound.” “Sí Bheag” and “Sí Mhór” are two hills in Ireland’s County Leitrim, said to be ancient burial sites.

This is a beautiful piece, whether played as an air or a waltz–as it is here, and I hope you enjoy it on zither!

Colors Fall #Haiku #Poem

Posted on by

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.

Tempting Fate #Decima #Poem

Posted on by

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!
