    Poem 230 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
    (see my blog for details): 
    CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY

    As gospellers have said,
    Beneath signalling skies,
    On land dusty to tread,
    A trough in a stable
    Was the strawy first-bed
    Of a divine baby -
    The forgiving Godhead.

    A season for new hope -
    There then and here now;
    The yuletide of goodwill -
    There then and here now.

    In respect of this chance,
    Beneath bright or dark skies,
    Faith's the star that we glance
    Attending Christ's churches
    And trying to enhance,
    With singing and ritual,
    Our God-loving stance.

    A...

    What is Christmas? It is tenderness for the past, courage for
    the present, hope for the future. It is a fervent wish that every cup may
    overflow with blessings rich and eternal, and that every path may lead to
    peace.  ~ Agnes M. Pharo



    Christmas Blessings, Rhonda Grace

    Blessings are like flowers. When they are fresh people
    prize them, when they wither, people forget them. How often do we remember the
    blessings and the miracles that are showered on us from heaven above?



    Sending Sweet Blessings,  ~Rhonda Grace

    Just to let you know, my short story collection “A History of Sarcasm” is now available to buy.  (It’s great, by the way.)

     

    You can get it from www.doghorn.com

     

    More details on my website, www.frankburton.co.uk

     

    “The writer William Burroughs once called language “a virus from outer space”, and there’s a sense of that in A History of Sarcasm, where Burton holds words up to the sun and lets the light shine through them.”

    Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
    (please see my blog): 
    TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001 

    Where traditions are not so rare; 
        Sea, country and works scent the air; 
    A multitude of monuments, 
        Planted tubs and patterned pavements. 

    The longish pedestrian malls; 
        The remnants of defensive walls; 
    Historic buildings are a gauge 
        Of the respect for heritage. 

    Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; 
        Estuaries guarded by shields; 
    Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; 
        Romantic-ruin go-betweens. 

    Rivers in parts licked by trees, 
        Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, 
    And crossed by practical delights - 
        Varied spans, forming pleasing sights. 

    Fine churches headed at Durham; 
        Football kits ad infinitum; 
    Kept castles - one for study; 
        Masonry behind masonry. 

    And, with moulding-works out that way, 
    It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?

    Gods wine

     

    This room, these walls can’t hold us

    Time and space lose their meaning

    Imagination intoxicates us

    Trapped inside a dream

    Worlds within worlds

    Filled with passions nectar

    Armed with solitude

    Verse after verse

    Swept away by a thought

    Held there by beauty

    Poets

    We make Gods wine

    Hello Aoife

    Hope you enjoy one of my most recent blog:

    Loves Relationship with Nature

    The giant Redwood tree has to be thankful to the (wind, rain, lighting and fires) elements in which it endured for if not for them it would never have gotten so strong. Yet at the same time if it could speak and it can thru its presence gives back for each could not exist without the other.

    The elements become not something to fear but the necessary ingredient for growth to be possible. That is why everything in Nature is beautiful.

    Love (Redwood tree) knows to join forces with its so called enemies for without them it could never have grown to such magnificent heights. Therefore, to fully experience life, moment to moment, completely; Whole! Just like the giant Redwoods. Their must be an exchange.

    When we look out at nature? Take for instance the Giant Redwoods of Northern California, the Pacific Ocean or a beautiful sunset. We give it our total undivided attention for we are captivated by its beauty and at the very same moment we get back in reciprocity.

    Love wants to know itself but I can’t know myself without you.

    ~Roel Corpus~

    Ps_ Happy for the friendship.
