Into the arms of my love, I do so eagerly surrender, Yearning for his devoted, Gentle and familiar touch! Holding onto one another, One singular beating heart, Unique, but now affixed, Intertwined, like the eager, Petal of a floret awaiting, To open, perfectly in concert! 520 Olympus Digital Zuiko- Photo by Joni taken at Plantation … Continue reading Love in Concert

To Sow
God planted within me a seed that shall fall on fertile ground, I pray my faith, love, and kindness fill my beating heart, When I am seen, may I be a positive presence to be around? May my love spread and be vastly strong as a steadfast root,Free from the weeds, rocks and evil that … Continue reading To Sow
As One With Nature
Among God’s trees, I sit in silence. Closing brown eyes, I wait and listen, To the soft rustle of the forest, Much like the faint sound of old cars. Birds' songs are sung, unfamiliar to me, As a lawnmower sputters in the distance. Neighborhood dogs bark in an unruly chorus, As the coarseness of dried, … Continue reading As One With Nature
My First Love
Oh how it is like, A spring that feeds the brook that flows gently, tapering below it, The soothing whisper of a breeze when your hot skin aches to be cool, The full moon when you’re alone, which lights the corridor to your secrets, The tall cattails with furry brown heads that loom over the … Continue reading My First Love
Earth Day Past
Larger, bigger, better, for we must have it all, now, don’t you see,Forget about the love surrounding the wise old grand oak tree,There will always be another, whose sad cries for us to silence,By the axes and the saws which inflict their deadly dose of violence. Dead now are the deer, beside of the old, … Continue reading Earth Day Past
Your Grateful Child
I do not hold the wisdom or genuine words to say,About how much my Christ hath loved me this day,So, to my Savior, humble thoughts to you, I do impart,Because you already know, as they live within my heart. Picture taken at Magnolia Plantation in Charleston, SC with a Olympus E-520 by Joni
The Reawakening
Awakened, I clearly hear that spring is gloriously a knocking!Gazing through the open, double pane, large windows,Arousing me to delight in the splendor she does so unveil,My eyes scan the land as I see nature’s gifts spread out,Like a table of deliciously fresh baked bread and tasty sweets,I see God’s love in the breeze and … Continue reading The Reawakening
Ode to Our Love
Oh life, oh my love, your pure endowment to me,Your heart so tender, its blossom opens up to spread,Budding forth to share that which bonds us evermore! Stubborn strength laced with wit and valiant charm,Hands that know my small aging body’s every inch,Our passions blended fiercely by our intermingled bodies. Exposed am I, for no … Continue reading Ode to Our Love
Our Garden of Love
We spread and sow seed, in our love garden, with color thick,To sprout, bloom and flourish without any divison or wall,Gracing our table in a variety of colors and sizes we will pick,Each in its own diversity, they celebrate as they stand so tall! No fences or boundary, no separating, no way to single out,All … Continue reading Our Garden of Love
My Best Friend Janette
My friend’s pain pushes on my swollen heart,Strength like a lioness, beauty bursting forth,Trials dragging and pulling deep inside her,Yet she reigns in life with such great strength! A survivor, savoring each moment life gives, Admiration and amazement I feel tenderly,Towards my friend, a link, a gift of love to me,Never complaining, but a statue, and … Continue reading My Best Friend Janette
