I Have Heard The Voices Call

I have heard the voices call 
sound so mournful 
I remember, I recall 

Voices soft, a haunting trill 
makes my heart race 
even now, even still 

One day I may too
join their voices  singing
such a sweet refrain 

But until then 
I will be in awe
of such loving sounds singing 
echoing, all around.

The Blue Of A Heavenly Blue

The blue of a heavenly blue
Morning glory
Reigns over all that I recall
Of summer bright
Full
Full of absolute delight.

Dying now settling down
Falling into fall
A beauty of it’s own
Reds, browns golden hues
Contrasting with a heavenly blue
Morning glory
Hanging on into fall.

When summer is long gone
And I can only recall
Those summer heavenly blues
Most of all.

Content Is What I Feel

Content is what I feel
I’ll savour, taste, immerse myself in this
Then if it dissipates and the world
Around me is hellish
I can recall these feelings of contentment
Carrying me over any rough road
On this my path to glory.
