The winds of autumn press upon the boughs of yonder tree And all around me midst the yard lies fading greenery Leaves fall from the laden branches, colors bright and fair To lie and sleep whilst winter comes and with it frosty air I love so much the peace and still of Celtic scenery It sooths my heart and lifts my brow and sets my spirit free My soul longs for its gentle touch and restful offering Of autumn winds and fading leaves and quiet genuflecting
The choices we make Are telling things For in them we place Our dearest dreams The consequences We can’t avoid Yet God is faithful To bring much joy So make them wisely With much prayer For God is waiting With gifts so rare
Few things are as rewarding As a roommate who is affording Of your habits and living conditions He has the same tolerance Of messy apartments And does his fair share of the cleaning He likes C. S. Lewis And J. R. R. Tolkien And readily listens to me So this is my poem My verse and my sonnet These are the words of an Ode to my Roommate
Thousands of peopleSwaying and dancing at nightThe sounds of the fair
Brightness in the nightReflection of light from fireBursting in the sky
Zero to seventyPure vertical then backwardsFridged Mister Freeze
Great speed in the turnWhipped left then right, up then downThe Boss is the bomb
Hanging from mid airRight side up then upside downFast goes the Batman
Clouds silver and blueEndless lands beneath my feetThe freedom of flight
Birdsong from oak treeRich earth by the garden pathDelicate flower
Sunlight on flowerBowed by the gentle breezeEvidence of Spring
Ground shakes beneath meForces striving togetherI awake from sleep
Leaves rustle in the windThe coolness of a night breezeSleep overcomes me
The bright morning sunShines from an open windowAn alarm goes off
Loyal wife is sheOf great faith and love for GodMy mom is blessed
The helpless in needSaved by those who care and leadTwo fallen heroes
