An Eagle Soars…

Feelin’ the cold blue silence of forever
Another voice in the soundtrack of our lives
Flyin’ with a billion stars all around1
An Eagle soars to join the Starman

Our heart keeps sayin' it's just not fair2
Hearts are achin’, feelin’ like screamin’
The music’s fleein’ this old cold world
Bells should be ringing this sad, sad news3
Feelin’ the cold blue silence of forever
While Death carries another legend away 

Feelin’ the cold blue silence of forever
Another voice in the soundtrack of our lives
Flyin’ with a billion stars all around1
An Eagle soars to join the Starman

Lent to us we forgot, now lifted high
Frey-man took flight to join heaven’s band
Soaring with a billion stars all around1
The music shimmers in every star we see
Gives him wings to climb high and far
Nothing made him turn around and stay4
An Eagle soars to join the Starman

Feelin’ the cold blue silence of forever
Another voice in the soundtrack of our lives
Flyin’ with a billion stars all around1
An Eagle soars to join the Starman

Frey-man gave us the best of his music5
Singin’ the vict’ry song, he’s already gone8
And we just can’t hide our cryin’ eyes6
We’ll dance to remember, Won’t ever forget7
Feelin’ the cold blue silence of forever
As Death carries another legend away

Feelin’ the cold blue silence of forever
Another voice in the soundtrack of our lives
Flyin’ with a billion stars all around1
An Eagle soars to join the Starman

Starman

Image source: http://www.thegap.at/uploads/tx_monolith/Bowie2013.jpg














The Starman has taken flight, 
Broken the bonds of earth
Set sail toward Heaven’s height

And the stars look very different today1
Our imagination’s a bit lonelier
Now our shining Starman has gone away

There’s a Starman waiting in the sky2
Each psychedelic tear’s a rainbow
Falling now from our lonely mind’s eye 

Tell my *world I love her very much **earth knows1
The Starman painted with his inspiration
Ever ‘pon us his kaleidoscopic vision bestows

Dancing dreams of what more may be
The stars are never far away3
And the Starman will always fly free

Through the kingdom of the ghost4
Leaving words with something to say
Starman’s shredding with a ghostly host

We’re not ready to let go, we say
Let him sail back *to-us tonight4
But, Major Tom led him home today

Morning Sunshine

Beaten, bold, golden inspiration…
Golden sensation by new day’s light…
A pinch of midnight… sprinkling down…
Falling crystal cascade… like stars…
‘Pon this golden inspiration…
Frothing gold and silky white…
Blending to fill my expectation…
The sunlit moon-high sky looks on…
Peeking, prodding bright morn’s dawn…
This and that and just a touch…
Of who knows where fancy lies…
Sizzling… melting… lost in ecstasy…
Slide ‘pon my plate and fill me!
Ahhhh! My cheesy delectation!

A Child Cries

https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7498/15575624839_cf2e1539ec_b.jpg
A watering hole dries up
     and the milk cow dies
          Hungry, a child cries

On battles rage as the village
     burns ‘neath blue skies
          Bloodied, a child cries

A mother, taken, weeps
     from beaten, swollen eyes
          Frightened, a child cries

Hatred grows, terror is loosed
     Humanity lost as the arrow files
          Orphaned, a child cries

A child grows with no hope
     eating only hatred’s lies
          Broken, a child cries

Hatred puts a gun in a child’s hands
     While the world cries
          And the child dies

Prayer for Comfort

Merciful and Loving Father in Heaven,
You are the source of Light in the earth,
The comfort and freedom of my soul
Every day is a struggle, weighing upon me
The world moves on, bustling and wrangling
Lord, I stumble often in my Life’s journey
Feeling misunderstood and isolated
It’s a struggle to find the blessing of comfort,
To keep holding on to my peace and hope
Guide me Lord, be my strength and my comfort
You alone are my peace and my hope
I know yours will always be the steady hand
Which guides me and catches me when I stumble
Bless my heart with gratitude and peace
Guide me by your Grace and will in this world
~ Amen

My True Friend


Without her, the sister of my heart, Id never have become the person with whom my husband fell in love… Id never have this NOW.

"



My True Friend

When others saw what they wanted me to be…
My true friend saw who I desired to see.
My true friend held up a mirror…
Showed the deeper me did endure.

When love seemed far beyond my reach…
My true friend did stop to teach
How love would grow from love within,
Not outward signs nor raucous din.

When love within seemed hard to find…
My true friend always was kind,
Loyal and true, a guide undaunted…
Though by doubt t’was I haunted.

With oft gentle reflection…
And sometimes annoyed intercession…
My true friend taught me to grow,
Refused to let me be laid low.

My decisions tho’ oft confusing,
Never turned my friend’s inducing…
Led me ever to deeper understanding…
The seeds of worth t’was planting.

Much frolic and laughter shared…
My true friend always cared
To make me whole and complete.
T’was the first I knew without deceit.

A bond and spiritual kinship…
Taught to me true friendship.
My true friend, the sister of my heart…
Even distance cannot part.

A beacon’s light I ever see…
My true friend will always be
She who taught me myself to love,
And opened my life to blessings above.

This poem is dedicated to Diane, sister of my heart and devoted godmother to my son. These words are too small to adequately express the blessing she has been on my life.

Hey!

Hey!
by D. Denise Dianaty

For each, a gift of generosity
From Granny's doting heart
I loved the Pop! Pop! Rattle! Tumble!
O'colored beads tossed within th'globe
Sister got the rolling scene pastoral
With tinkling, tumbling, music box sound


Run around and run around and run around…
Laughing… rolling 'em 'cross the ground.
Suddlenly… shockingly… Sister snatches that
Pop! Pop! rattling globe from me…
And toddles off with't joyfully
I'm left in a moment's consternation
O'er the injustice of it all…
A shrug… a giggle… Plop! I sit!
And happily twiddle round the scene pastoral
Delighted, enthralled with the tumbling
Tinkling, twinkling, music box sound
Chime and ting and chink-a-tink


Dash! And WHACK! Crashed 'cross my head!
Flash of stars and black blaze before my eyes
Bright twinkles on the edge of sight
Warm, itchy dribbles down my forehead
Sister giggles now and toddles away
Gone off now with both gifts - HEY!
