Longing in his heart
pressing need to regain faith.
Path to redemption
No. 2
Deep within our hearts
are needs basic and urgent
primeval passions

A
shaft
of light
illuminates one tree
and silhouettes in stark relief
the ravages of Autumn’s dessicating wind and warmth

High above the mist
an unmistakable shape
rock of Avalon
And though our search was ended
our life’s quest had just begun

When silk stocking top
changes to a smooth, cool skin

Skin should be covered
if you travel in the day
along the silk road

Forebears
a sentinel stands
where the ancient dust settled
stranger wait awhile
rest your hand upon the stone
let it’s gentle guidance flow
voices from the past
words unwritten in their time
waiting to be heard
listen to your heart while minds
left open will surely find
bold revelations
answers to the mysteries
innermost desires
Gaia will at last reveal
secrets hidden in our souls

Colleen’s weekly poetry challenge #Haiku #Tanka #Haibun Spirit and Joy
haiku
May the Holy Spirit
bring you joy everlasting
by the Grace of God
tanka
Typically British, don’t you know
A cricket fan’s joy
lies in seeing the two teams
playing by the rules.
As players we should always
keep the Spirit of the game.
Haibun
The Queen, God bless her
A toast to bring joy to all
of British spirit
On the occasion of the announcement of a major Royal event, such as engagement to marriage, the birth of a child or significant Royal birthday it was customary for a signal to be transmitted to all serving members of the British Armed Forces wherever they were, be it on ships or on land in all corners of the world. The signal was generated and was usually personal from Her Majesty The Queen inviting all to join with her in celebration. The instruction would be given to, “Splice the mainbrace!” All were then entitled to draw a free drink which had to be consumed immediately and generally accompanied by the toast as described above. In a true spirit of cameraderie, great joy was felt by all at her generosity.

#Daily prompt Leaf Leaf
Their day is done
Chameleon leaves,
red,yellow, brown,
spiralling down
to carpet the ground
and muffle wild sounds
once English greenwood fair
stark now the grey and bare,
limbs reaching heavenly
bereft of their canopy
call out for the sun
stand in supplication
withering, slumbering
till Spring comes calling
