To make a poem,
I set my sights,
On thankfulness for joyous delights.
For gifts undeserved
Like family and home,
For gifts in the past
And for any to come.
The meter I chose is simple and light,
It’s the pulse of a heart,
The tempo of life.
It’s the rhythm of music,
The cadence of time.
It’s the light
It’s the sun
It’s my sight
It’s a rhyme.
~~~It’s her eyes
her form
her laugh
her smile
her hugs
her kiss
her running a mile.
the flowers in Spring
a gold wedding ring
a child who can sing
the love of our King.
the giving of gifts
a smooth quantum shift
a much needed lift
repair of a rift.
the colors of fall
the green of the grass
a huge mirrored ball
a trout and a bass.
it’s numbers
it’s paintings
it’s fractals sublime
it’s this state of wonder
so much of the time.
(And the stream murmurs love to the sycamore tree,
The tree tells a cloud, and the cloud tells the sea.
The moon hears them all, and he chuckles with glee,
And he sparkles the stream by the sycamore tree.)
~~~It’s my feet
a trail
a treat
a sail
a hike
a bike
some sand in a pail.
a lawn
a lake
choc’late icing on cake
a fawn
a yawn
sacrifice for my sake.
a dress made of lace
a calm peaceful place
winning a race
happy tears on my face.
the music of life
an end to all strife
the cosmos so big
a lucrative gig
a rope down a rock
a warm cotton sock
an arrested fall
a tick of the clock.
(And the stream murmurs love to the sycamore tree,
The tree tells a cloud, and the cloud tells the sea.
The moon hears them all, and he chuckles with glee,
And he sparkles the stream by the sycamore tree.)
~~~It’s a star
the moon
a par
a dune
a birth
the earth
a warm evening in June.
a choir
a band
an orchestra grand
a voice
a song
a run in the sand.
green
or red
a blanketed bed
an egg
a pun
a horse that can run.
a heart
a soul
a cinnamon roll
a sigh
a laugh
fresh pineapple from Dole.
a love
a mind
a person who’s kind
our girls
our boys
our comfort and joy.
good starts
good ends
an egg-laying hen
abundant life
it’s neighbors and friends.
(And the stream murmurs love to the sycamore tree,
The tree tells a cloud, and the cloud tells the sea.
The moon hears them all, and he chuckles with glee,
And he sparkles the stream by the sycamore tree.)
~~~It’s the clouds
a quest
adventure
a nest
a wonder
rejoicing
It’s acing a test.
a manger
a stable
a mother
a birth
an angel
a message
it said “Peace On Earth”.
the love of God
the hope in His Word
His grace
His glory
His armor and sword.
it’s truth
it’s faith
an eagle
a dove
my Savior lives!
It’s His love!
It’s His love!
It’s His love!
It’s His love!

(Keep going, this refrain is different)
(And the stream murmurs love to the sycamore tree,
and she sings to her friend, “There is music in me!”
The tree tells a cloud, and the cloud tells the sea,
“There is music in me!” “There is music in me!”
Wise Moon hears them all, and he chuckles with glee,
And he *sparkles* the stream by the sycamore tree.)
