Tulips & Daffodils ~ Mother's Love



Tulips & Daffodils

In Celebration of Mother's Love














Beneath the glow of sweet cherry bloom

 Mother Earth

 Sublime Holy Mantle



Heart of her soul, d`oth silently weep there




 
  

She lay

Layered in memory so sweet

Softly cradled within the holder of dreams



Laddened tear,  stain dust upon her face



O'h

A Mother's Love to Behold








A'twixt are dark thoughts

Swooning all comfort and peace

Teasing the mind with images of war

Spilled, splayed innocence 




A Mother's Lament


O'h ~ to behold 








Dumbed unconscious wrath

On sacred cherished Earth

Tore the breast of Mother's broken crust


Where once did reign Joy






 Mother's Lament

 Mother's Love


 O'h ~ to behold 

What power one chalice destined for man






Divine Glow of God she did pray


Lament


For all dark shadow upon her bloody soil

Fade away ~ Fade away


So that all might kiss the face of Eternity 


 Witness to the broken heart of Earth







Come Upliftment from on High

Erase weary weight this wasteful empty pain



Comfort the broken pieces of my heart

 She cried




 


 O'h

 O'h


Saddened song this sorrowful lament



 Mother's Love to behold








It was then that all could hear Our Father cry



Rise up shining face, bright and high

Into the brilliance of All Mighty God the violet so white








Rest there now your saddened soul

Upon Jupiter's right wing

Feathered friend,  Messenger of God

Council to awakened Decider

Life and death



Should that be so







Hear Heavenly Clarion Call

Bliss has arrived to wash sweet soul of humanity



 Leave away all judgement right or wrong
Which exists not

Trivial things that they are




Shine your light of a new day all Earthen Man

Upon the breath of fresh Spring



When all beauty knows the truth of it's own face







Rise Mother Earth

Dark Shadow sings your song to the beating of heart


So all will listen your cry for Peace






O`h

O`h


 Mother's lament



 Mother's Love






Reign God on High






Blessed are those who walk Earth proud

Among the Nocturne turned red

In sunny delight 







Paradise t`is this your Earthen Land

Full of the splendor a New Life








In awe the power of a Mother's tear


Where rest now the sweetest

Tulips and Daffodils






O'h

O'h

A Mother's Lament

Mother's Love





 

















Happy 70th Mom

Your Loving Daughter Always

The Ship

Prose by

 Brye Andrew David Briggs

2011




It is incredible the weight they pull on the keel.




The beak seems to constantly point downward into the dark depths below - into the abyss from which there is no return. It as if the demons pulling on it were made of osmium.  The sea seems to thrash its way through the deck as the big jibs draw forth and the top gallants are yanked to one side by cruel and wicked dark spirits with even greater force.  The mains flap, yet are collapsed for the most part as it becomes apparent that this is a totally unnatural phenomenon surrounding me and my ship.  A speck within the vastness of the sea aimlessly nearing the chaotic edges of the earth, blindly and dangerously through the valleys of darkness I find myself clinging to the wheel in full awareness that I am at the mercy of my ship and powers that put me here in the first place.  A place of unforgiving desperation and helplessness that I have endured before… thank God.  

Instead of being overwhelmed, I dig deep as I sometimes must and steady the wheel.  I begin to remember who I am and why I am here - I am prepared for this journey.  I will stay the course.  I know where I am and I know what it takes to get through these torrent waters.  I chose this ship with great vision and my faith in it will prevail and so shall I.


Damned are those demons and dark spirits and damned are those unearthly works at hand and damned will I be should I allow myself to succumb to those weaker and pathetic powers.  I have a light in me that can easily shine through the darkness and I will unleash it with great vengeance and that time that has come.  I have new skies, new seas, new lands and new discoveries that give me new and undying purpose.


There was never a destination in the first place only the path; a path worth paving so that they too could learn for themselves that the path is the most important part of their lives.  Pay attention to the path and they just might get lucky. 


I may be only a small part of what I call the big picture, but a  part I am.  Trials and tribulations are part of everyone's journey.  True they are completely different from the next persons, but I ask how far your journey will take you ?  Learn from every lesson.  Grow from every struggle and one day you may be ready to surge on.  We all need explorers.   For without them, we are nothing.  How rare it is, for someone to find exactly what they are looking for.
It is with every new lesson or discovery that we not only discover a part of our self, but open a link to the next person to discover their own truth.  


I say smile in the face of adversity and remember that every challenge brings you closer to your truth.  Keep the spirit nurtured and never give in to those forces trying to hold you back from your true destiny.  Leave them all behind and find out who you really are.  Discover yourself.  There are no limits within your imagination, so don’t be afraid to let it guide you from time to time.

Learn, study, grow and prosper, but remember the imagination combined with some sort of faith regardless of what it is, be it God, Allah, Om, Wakeguru, Gitchi Manitou, the Eighth Dynamic, some other Supreme Being or force, or even our family,  can be and are all very powerful.  Combine your imagination with your faith, without prejudice, and see what can become of this world or better yet, what can become of yours.


My ship is my family and in that I have faith.  Strong, relentless, unwavering, crafty, wise, always improving and never ending.  I will stay the course and my ship will become part of tomorrow’s path and tomorrow's journey and along the way its very own discoveries.
