Precious Prelude

Pondering the Precious today...


The sunshine sparked a bit of spring fever so,
down with winter decor 


and up with suggestions of spring!


A froth of fallen petals...


Tomorrow we are halfway through February!

A dash across the landscape
A splash upon the sea
A kiss of This soft-taking shape
And then eternity  

A mist upon yon meadow
As twist of scar-stitched shawls
Unravels the foreshadowing
'ere life’s last suture falls

Love's lilts of tears and laughter
Like quilts of grief and glee 
Hang from rafters where ever-after
Veils eternity 

A froth of fallen petals
A cloth of phantom tulle 
Enshrouds the dust that soon settles 
In the grave's solemn pull

A chattering of seasons
A smattering of stars
Before we behold life's reasons 
Only death's door unbars 

A war of mortal adieu
A score of days and then
Last breath, as Death transports us to
Eternity. Amen.

A very precious prelude
Lingers precariously
Upon the air not yet subdued
By vast eternity

Gate, noiselessly unbolted
Wait swallowed up in See
As each voice of Choice is jolted
Into eternity
