APPEARANCES

The Sun sets crimson red
into Horizon blue-indigo
and rises fire electric
the world to show
until moonlight strikes
In Life's ebb and flow.

But the Sun is nothing more
than a burning star
and the Moon a lonely place
barren and scarred.

We see things not as they are
but as we wish them to be--
icons of Immortality.

Where is the Christ I once knew
Where did all the miracles go..
And why does the Flesh suffer so
into horizon blue-indigo.

when I see your mind showing such clarity

I wish you send your doctors to me
for consultation
yes for free

your mind is as rife
as rife can be

I couldn't ever dream
mine will ever so be

you are the Genes of indelible poetry
let the whole wild see
how you encashed your negativity
says Lovedly
some ones beloved still you may be!
amen

Thank you. my good friend, It is always uplifting to read you/

shall draw the Thing as he sees It, for the God of Things as They are.'
(Rudyard Kipling)

Thanks. Judyanne. I am never sure what I write is worth the reading.
