Beauty does a runabout 
Now you see it and now you don’t
Yesterday the shrub had
Crimson and yellow leaves
Some turning brown and
They glowed as the sun shined through
Today the shrubs have empty limbs
The forty miles per hour wind
Settled the issue if there was one
Nature is mystical
One season trying to start while
The last season is still holding on
We take what is given and look
For the beauty which may be
Of a different kind
The music orchestrated varies
From day to day
It whistles through pine trees
Blows leaves in all directions
Pushes waves to pound the shore
We hear what we cannot see
Look for what isn’t there and
Hope we are on the right path,
Come rain or come shine
We look for beauty in others
There is usually kindness 
Hidden under the mask of seriousness
We imagine spirits and angels passing by
Would love to have a conversation
It is all there, just waiting for us
To open up and recognize 
We try to figure things out and
Sometimes make discoveries
How deep is the ocean, another miracle?
How high the mountains we wonder 
When the flat path we try to walk 
Is like a mountain.  Immeasurable 
We wait in solitude for answers that
We should be out looking for
The challenge is great
The beauty of it all is worth the effort
It is there

CINQUAIN for November 12

Speaker 
At ease with words

Address

Stanislaus Kuperski the Firski aka Stanski

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     

Anxiousness is prevalent.
Everything is not going 
the way we think it should be, 
therefore it is not good.  
Try to keep things simple.  
Who are we?  Who are they?  
We are all children of God, 
deserving brotherly love and respect.  
Such an easy concept and still 
we have trouble adhering, 
because of pride.  How foolish.  
The Father has been forgotten.  
We have set ourselves up as 
Kings and Queens and feel slighted.  
Remember we are dust and 
Jesus died for our sins.  
He has forgotten the evil and is 
searching for our goodness.  
Time to be humble and honor others.  
We will be rewarded many times over.  Amen

Energy within
Always changing
Form to form
Where is the source?
What sustains it?
Will it last?

Are we lost?
Staying stagnant?
Even if triumphant,
We may sway
From good to bad
And back again?

Our strength is
Not a given
There is beginning
Will be an end
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust

We own a trust
Ours to keep
Or to share
With those
Inclined to see
Willing to hear

Never stagnation
Energy won’t allow
Traveling the road
Always uphill
Soon to the top
Then the cross

Death by crucifixion
Energy transformed
To the resurrection
Then the ascension
Gifting us with the Spirit
Infinite energy

Be with me this day, 
my Shepherd and please lead me.  
May your will be done and 
let me be part of it.  
Do not let me be judgmental, 
but grateful, especially for all 
the service men and women 
who are honored today for 
their valor, bravery and dedication 
in keeping our country safe and free.  
I have much to be thankful for 
and often fail to recognize this.  
Help me to change.

WORDS OF SOCRATES

Education is the kindling of a flame not
The filling of a vessel
