Velvet Lavender in the Glittering Night,
Stretching, Reaching, for Ribbons of Light.
Yawning Boughs that Nod their Heads,
Warmly Tucked in their Snowy Beds,
Dreaming of Summer’s Languid Days,
While Starlight, Dancing in the Dark Skies, Plays.
Stillness Caressing the Silence, Seeking
Winter’s Breath, Quietly Keeping,
Until Sunlight’s Kiss Stirs Once More,
Upon the Chill of Long Night’s Door.

~Morgan~

Quiet Paradox- #Poetry of the #naturalworld

Brazen echo of cacophonous sound

Litany of Color abounds,

Brilliance in Hushed Symphony,

Wordless

Serenading

Soliloquy.

Diadem of Enigmatic Rhyme

Sing in Harmony with Endless Time,

As yesterday Embues the morn

Quiet paradox is born.

Entranced in Fallow Liberty

Haunting dreams of Infinity

Whisper into the Realm Beyond

Chaos
Simplicity

Shallow Voices Respond

As enigmatic nightmares
Encrypt the Lore

Chanting
Recanting

Evermore

Entranced Fallow Liberty

Stagnant Memory
of Captivity.

Silent Whispers
from an Enchanted Realm

Delicate Reminders
That Overwhelm

As the day unfolds
Into Night

Treading Softly;
Memory’s Acolyte

Recanting all that has been
Said Before

While mysteries softly Implore

Silent Whispers
From the Enchanted Domain

Entreat and Beguile
Again and again

.

A Thankful Heart – #Thoughts for #Thanksgiving

24 Tuesday Nov 2020

Posted by Morgan in Poetry

≈ 5 Comments

Tags

Autumn, BnV, BooknVolume, Harmony, Inspiration, Meditations, poetry, quotes, relationships, Thanksgiving2020, ~Morgan~

A Thankful Heart is Open to Blessings
because it is closed to worry, doubt, and wailing.

A Thankful Heart is Filled with Love
because it empties itself of loathing, greed, and envy.

A Thankful Heart is Overflowing with Peace
because it does not Share itself with lies, distrust, and negativity.

A Thankful Heart Touches Others with its Blessings and Love
because it is Ever in the Presence of Love and Blessing.

A Thankful Heart Speaks in Kindness, Patience and Empowerment
because it does not Speak of hate, intolerance or to incapacitate.

A Thankful Heart Chooses its Path Each Day with Diligence and Joy
because it does not Concentrate on what it cannot do.

A Thankful Heart Walks in Hope, Love, Peace and Joy
because it Knows nothing else.

A Thankful Heart Shares its Purpose
because it is Incapable of Withholding All that Pours from its Abundant Profusion.

Embark upon Each New Day with a Thankful Heart
and You will Find Endless Blessings for which to be Thankful.

You are a Blessing for which I am very thankful. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. ❣

~Morgan~

soldier_compassion

.

The echoes may fade into solitary hours

Graves strewn with commemorative flowers

Yet Memory lives in the Heart

in the Mind

Remembrance not forgotten

of Sacrifice that Binds.

 

In Loving Remembrance of all those who have and who still do serve this country/ Every country. On this day of Honour as we recall the sacrifices made, it may be the best time of all to understand that ALL soldiers serve for love of their own country and to protect and honour the way of life THEY hold dear. Right or Wrong, Truth or Lies, the Soldier carries the heaviest burden.

.

Performed By Sgt.MacKenzie

Scottish:
Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun

When they come a wull staun ma groon
Staun ma groon al nae be afraid

Thoughts awe hame tak awa ma fear
Sweat an bluid hide ma veil awe tears

Ains a year say a prayer faur me
Close yir een an remember me…..

Whispers of chill Caress the vale

Golden and Crimson Memory

Restful is the deep exhale

As Stillness Transcends Pagentry

Soft and Lavish comes the night

of Splendor in Subtle Majesty

Sable surfeit what once was bright

Lies sighing in mute vanity

Harrowing Tide – #Halloween #Poetry

harrowing-tide

.

Darkness Sings in the Witching hour,

As spectres writhe in Sublime Masquerade,

Witless watching goes unnoticed

While worries and doubt march in Parade;

Shadows spiraling in the ebon void,

Calamity slurking into the Lush Unknown,

Colours fading into blankness

As Daytide waits, muted and prone;

Delicate Splendour reaches in irony

As all that is stale encroaches and bides;

Mists of Memory murmuring mundanely,

As Silence floods in,

A Most Harrowing Tide.

.

~Morgan~

Sorrowful songs

Played in melancholic Tones

Echo from the translucent night

While the Midnight hour drones

Calling the Captive

Seducing the hardened and wise

While harbingers of Yesterday

Whisper Haunting Lies.

#Halloween #Poetry – The Fog

Fog

.

Stillness Whispers All Around,

Delicate,

Imperceptible,

Incongruous Sound;

The Hush Speaking softly

Of Another place and Time;

Bending Perception

Through Inharmonious Rhyme.

.

The Fog Enwraps From Every Side,

Closing In,

Drawing Out

An Indiscernible Cry;

The Mist Breathing Blithely,

A Leviathan of Olde;

Enshrouding Inexorably

With Inescapable Cold.

.

Silver Lethargy – #Halloween #Poetry

silver-lethergy

.

Bide the hours of Silver Lethargy

Symposium of shadows in swirling haze

Mocking the Glimmers of Brightest daytide

As words and music shrivel and fade

Silence beckons in Silver Lethargy

Whispers Unheard serrating

As Darkness Grasps with manacle claws

And Laughter echoes, Mimicking and Prating

Silver whims and ebon sighs

Leeching from the cowl of night

As heartbeats pause and breath subsides

Waken to Emptiness

Live in Fright!

.

Entombed

In Tune with all that turns and spirals,
Songs detracting from the depths Unknown,
Haunting lute Enchanting the feral,
Moving the Earth under grass New Grown.

Tides that Shift the murky Twilight
In pitch and marrow, shuddering the Core,
Tarot Speaks when Belief Kisses night,
Tripping down the tumbling steps of Yore.

Careful, Ye who Fancy adventure,
Marvel long and Entrenched Ye Shall Be,
Entombed in mossy banks, Premature,
Locked and Staring outward Eternally.

~Morgan~
