Down the river, And 'cross the coast, The ship sails the air. Keep in step with the wind, Says the captain loud and clear. See the waves crashing, 'Cross the sand and shore. Take a holiday aboard this flying vessel. Come stand by the edge, Reach out and touch the clouds, Hear the whisper of … Continue reading Poem: Calling All Aboard the Airship

Poem: Stand Tall, Guard, and Defend
Stand your ground, Impassioned and righteous. The kingdom still stands at your back. Tradition and history, Urge you on to maintain the line, And push back that which threatens to destroy. Forces outside endanger that within. Stand tall, guard, and defend. You know the path, the way to go. Falter not, brave warrior, Time and … Continue reading Poem: Stand Tall, Guard, and Defend
Poem: Enjoying the Beauty of Centuries Past
Relaxing with paintings, Half a world away, Enjoying the beauty of centuries past. From the masters of the ages, Step into each image, Dance and swim in the picture, Leap out and start again. Different styles and colors, Still scenes just the same. People, landscapes, and other things, Lives held within a moment, In a … Continue reading Poem: Enjoying the Beauty of Centuries Past
Poem: For Flowers, Lace, and Antique Things
For flowers, love, Lace and antique things. The stories they have to tell, Grasp some more than others. Relax and listen to the spin of yarn, By various mouths and voices, Some silent and others interpreting, Tales short and long. Follow their steps through the past. Embrace the memories, emotions, and more, And so keep … Continue reading Poem: For Flowers, Lace, and Antique Things
Poem: Where is a Hero Found
Everybody wants to be a Crusader, To be a fighter, To be a hero. There needs to be a villain for such a task, To provide the action for the reaction. There must be a focus, a conflict. To push against air is easy, To push against the wind, not nearly. A question still remains, … Continue reading Poem: Where is a Hero Found
Poem: Welcome the Creative Conservator
Welcome the bard, Welcome the troubadour, Welcome the creative conservator. Holding onto nostalgia with a cover band, Painting the moment, preserving the present, Strum the string, play the bow, Capture the feelings, Spread them forth, Connecting together thoughts and friends, Weaving community, art, and more. Keeping time held within, To hold the essence of the … Continue reading Poem: Welcome the Creative Conservator
Poem: The Strongman
The strongman instead of the straw man, Solidity and strength, Immovable yet flexible, adaptable, Pillars in place, yet flows between, Hears the winds, yet heeds the call within, Ready to strike and let go, Follows the path laid before, Ready to lead those behind, Teach and learn forth, reflect aft, Do ye wish to be … Continue reading Poem: The Strongman
Poem: Connecting to a Storm
Thunder pounding, rolling, building, Bursting, feel the striking within, Energy current flowing through Power crackling, from my fingers out, Connecting with the storm outside, Blood drumming in concert rhythm, Eerie sky crackles loudly, Heart expanding to meet the power, Letting loose a howl to match the wind, Rushing strength, flowing freedom, Exhilaration of the world … Continue reading Poem: Connecting to a Storm
Poem: The Energy of a Forge
The hammering and the striking, The bellows blow, maintaining a fire, Up down, the air flows, Forming, building, crafting more, Hear the ringing, Life blood pounding, flowing. Shield and shovel born within, Sword and sickle repaired once more, Tools of life or death given form. Within these walls the master works. Both a science and … Continue reading Poem: The Energy of a Forge
Poem: Born walking forward
Born walking forward, Life moving crystalline, Sharp edges, soft curves, No matter where the road goes. Step one, then many more, Some fore, others aft, Always shifting with the wind, Keeping an eye on the clouds. Building, working, forming, Grab the wheel, strike the hammer, Feel the weight, And keep the path. Guiding star above … Continue reading Poem: Born walking forward
