All Saints Day

 

Saints-among-us!?

 

All Saints-day!

 

Celebrate! Appreciate the “saints” among us.

Yeah! They make some look even worse by comparison---

Show a bit of reverence: Embrace a saint---Kiss her anyway!

 

Amen!



Happy Halloween!

 

Trick? or Treat?

 

Barely had the ole sun set to the western sky

Purple dusk shadows creeped slowly longer by

 

Wind-chased leaves pushed yon cemetery gate

Creaking rusty hinges clarion wraiths to spooky fate

 

Nighttime falls overrun with ghouls and goblins

A one legged pumpkin tries to escape hobbblin’

 

 Yellow moon lights white-eyed owl a black skeleton tree

Dracula, the Wolf man, monster Frankenstein escape free

 

Little masquerade-urchins scream and pray for high noon

Night-winds moan as clouds shroud alabaster pale full moon

 

A group of five costumed “darling” kids approach my front door

In “Freddie Krueger” mask with fiery chain saw I’ll settle a score

 

Jumping from the bushes I yell and rev up the loud saw

Press remote button, make crow on my shoulder “Caw!”

 

Four? “chicken”-children run away screaming a death card

One outfit-ed “Ninja Turtle” kicked ole bully-Freddie hard

 

As the chainsaw monster went down in excruciating pain

Karate-Ninja kicker stole all the sweet candy for his own gain

 

Severely injured monster crawled slowly into the house

Doctored his injury---Now he sounds like “Mickey Mouse”

 

Beware! Pale scare-y ghosts “Trick or Treat” Halloween eve

Fill their bags with “Goodies”; Pray! They peaceful---Leave!

 



"Trick" or "Treat"!? Don't be afraid!---Boo!

 

Gramps & the Kid

 

Ghosts! Goblins! Wild Ghouls run rampant Halloween night

Escort-Gramps leads little Jimmy through a perilous fright

 

To innocent eyes yellow full moon highlights skeleton trees

A young girl’s forlorn scream causes hot, red blood to freeze

 

Hand-in-hand secure against evil demons the pair advance

Dare step upon yon porch to beg a charity-candy chance?

 

With trepidation-fear creaks wide the door cavernous dark-black

A wrinkled witchlike bony hand deposits goodies in his held sack

 

A shy-smile parts his lips, “Gee! That wasn’t just too bad!”

Eager, now, to advance, catch up with other lasses and lads

 

Braver still with each passing “Trick or treat!” easy-conquest

His “Sweetness-bag” filling fast, “Wow! This is the very best!”

 

“Why did I fear the night? Must have entertained ‘Insane!’”

Nothing at all to scare; old Gramps carries his stout cane

 

And, really! Those evil spirit-demon-wraiths myriad abound

Just kiddos masquerading-fun for sweet-candy treats around

 

Uh, oh! Fanged-Dracula slurped blood from monster Frankenstein

Thought I saw a wicked witch broom-ride tease a wolf-man kind

 

Just when it all seemed going good mean clouds shrouded yon bright moon

Now, candy-treats taste not so sweet! Was that noise made by an evil goon?

 

Settle down! It’s all just some silly game! I hope! I pray!

Something grabbed my pants leg! “Devil! Let go!” I say

 

I truly want to run and flee but my lazy legs refuse to cooperate

“Please! Dear God! Forgive all my sins! Surely I’m not too late?”

 

Embarrassed that my partner seems fine, collected, calm, quite cool

If I stop shaking, perhaps, he’ll not think me be such a chicken-fool

 

Always ever-patient, loving, he looks at me; my champion of all champs

“It’s alright! Nothing to fear! Don’t be afraid! I will protect you, Gramps!”

 

 

 



Boo! Happy Halloween!

 

Happy Halloween!

 

“Whoo!” Whispers cold-warning October-winds

Hoot-owl feathers dance rustling leaves it sends

 

Large white oval eyes perched on a skeleton bare branch

Spooky yellow harvest-moon translucent alabaster-blanch

 

Pale ghosts, wild goblins neighborhood streets invaded

“Trick or treat!” Sugar-sweets keep urchin-kids satiated

 

Johnny masquerades an ugly Frankenstein bloody freak-scene

Angelic-child in broad daylight---he is not really all that mean

 

Sweet sassy Sally-Sue so feminine can actually sew and stitch

Black pointed hat, wart on long-nose casts evil; wicked-witch

 

Behind barred barriers cowers populace while praying “Faith!”

Intelligent to fear the living rather than some poor spook wraith

 

“I want to suck your blood!” Fanged Count Dracula openly true-confesses

“We’re used to it!” Counters citizens familiar with politicos’ transgresses

 

Dark graveyard ghostlike sentinels white marble statue monuments

“Better them than me! Dying to get in there!” Determined sentiments

 

Red, yellow, gold ghoul-leaves rustle like a rattler’s warning alarm

Play chase and tag tumbling along caught in a turbulent wind-storm

 

Wee-ones scurry house to house with open bags beg charity

A Headless Horseman gallops on Main Street just for hilarity

 

On yon church steeple-high a wicked witch points at all she knew

“At midnight you all will monsters be! Dare drink of my vile brew!”

 

“Tis not the Christmas Eve, most horrid evil woman!” In unison, they plead

With focused intent, “Candy-full by then we will all be snug-tight in bed!”

 

Drifting clouds slowly obscured the illuminating-orb bright full moon

To tempt chilly obfuscated myriad stinging raindrops descending soon

 

Racing safely home with overburdened sweetness-bags shrewd children shout

“Happy Halloween! Young friends!” Dare! Enjoy it all before, alas: Lights out!

 

 



It's what we do!

 

God bless America! Always!

 

What a Great country! Thank You! Lord!

 

Others certainly may choose their own path, with our blessing!

“We” the people of the United States of America…? Well!

We get to choose, also. We have the World Series! Yea!

 

Sure enough, I’ve been a place---or…two in me time and space;

it’s always good to get back home to the grand ole U.S. of A.!

The land of the free and home of the brave! Amen!

 

Our very differences of ethnic, cultural and social background

divergences are key in the Greatness of Freedom through Liberty!

Our Declaration supports our rights under the sacred Constitution.

 

Always! We are confessed---Americans!

 

New Years Day initiates a new beginning;

Ground Hog Day offers collective hope for a “shadow”-omen;

Valentine’s Day assures sweet Love toward Sister and Brother;

St. Patrick’s Day declares us all “blarney” Irish lads and lasses;

Easter celebrates Resurrection and all children hunt eggs;

Memorial Day honors our Heroes and kicks off summer-fun;

4^th of July Celebrates America’s birth---The greatest Democracy;

Labor Day recognizes the homogenous work ethic-blending;

Halloween un-masks our entertaining frivolous spirit for all;

Thanksgiving brings all Pilgrims of every persuasion to worship;

And…

Christmas celebrates these United States as a generous Santa Claus!

 

“We the people…” are:

Courageous,

Understanding,

Tolerant,

Generous,

Honorable,

Just,

Honest,

Humorous,

Humble---

Filled with:

Life! Love! Laughter!...

Determined to promote:

Faith! Family Freedom!

Amen!

 



Resolution-determined! Reconciliation-discovered!

 

Intertwined

 

Society stages custom;

culture affirms society.

 

The dichotomy is in-extricably linked, one to the other,

like Siamese twins dependent for simultaneous survival.

 

Complex society fractures agenda-desires creating culture.

Vacillating culture-celebrity curiously defines society-values.

From the survival-mix is procreated varied proclaimed virtue.

 

Law necessarily tempers anarchy with prescribed rules;

such ingredient in the cocktail of society-culture compound

reacts in a potentially explosive chemical interruption when

the divisions within society concerned with “secular” superiority

conflict with “moral” outcome based on “right” and “wrong” in

consideration of a “Judgment” determination for the good of all,

namely, the very society and culture interests competing for survival.

 

Thus: Interminable Conflict!

 

Nothing new on the face of this earth, not in the least; in Truth---

Incarnate since ole Adam, Eve and the damnable apple incident.

 

“For God so loved the world…” (John 3:16)

 

Even sacrifice of His Precious Blood could not

Reconcile irresolute pernicious combatants.

 

In final analysis: Reconciliation-Hope exists only through---Love!

 

Try it! Bet you like it!

 

Amen!

 

 



"Hi! Ho! Silver! Away!"

 

That Guy!?

(confirmation of the sacred Independent Individual)

 

There exists in reality those with whom one simply does not “mess”!

(View Eastwood’s Gran Torino and you will surely find him)

 

Courageous “Ladies” and “Gentlemen” hold fast to a Declaration of

Traditional principles enumerated in the United States Constitution.

These pioneers of Truth live sacred convictions of value-virtue in

the face of adversity, challenge, ridicule and, even, pernicious lies.

Their beliefs are challenged for true “worth” by their own design.

“Reverence” found to be un-deserved denies faux beliefs, thus,

such evil conclusions are discarded as fiat obfuscations.

 

In Truth, such Independent Individuals are proudly respected

with the gratitude of an appreciative citizenry.  Though an

apathetic public fears the seeming abrupt and abject disdain

practiced by these “leaders”, they, none-the-less, mentally

emulate the “That guy” and “That gal” Hero-persuasion.

If only I could even hope to display such Truth-reverent courage!---

But, Oh! Me! Oh! My! What might people---Think… of me?

(Pray! Thee of such concern that ye never---know…that truth!)

 

Our “Greatest”-generation World War II men and women lived

Independent Individual traditional values and virtue as natural.

 

Yeah! I confess: My heroes are of a fictional-fantasy persuasion:

Superman and The Lone Ranger!

 

There-in lies the popularity of (I-I) Fiorina, Carson and Trump!

 

Next time focused evil threatens your sacred Faith! Family! Freedom!

Pray to timely hear: Truth! Justice! And, the American Way! Or

Hi! Ho! Silver! Away! From some courageous “action” Hero of

Independent Individual (I-I) traditional value-virtue wisdom!

 

Amen!

 

 

 

 

 



Sunday Thoughts

 

Thankful Considerations

 

 

 

Thank You!

 

For another chance at enjoyment; redemption; salvation.

Let me find happiness in selfless Love!

Of Family! Faith! Freedom!

As I celebrate a new dawn, sunrise, noon,

the day's warm delight, a passing shower,

evening's purple cool, midnight velvet stars.

 

"Sweet" dreams to pleasure coming promise.

 

And, sacred-humble worship---of...Thee!

 

Amen!

Enjoy your day!---Everyday!

 

Faith! Family! Freedom!

(a sacred-worthwhile value-virtue Grace)

 

 

Flies a golden pennant emblazoned with bright red

letters proclaiming Life-Love on a platinum gonfalon

proudly waving unfurled like the “Red, White and Blue”

trinity-display ’ore the land of the free and home of the brave!

 

Such proper reverence becomes a “way-of-life”

defining the supreme “Independent Individual”.

 

Dare:

Challenge my Faith!

Insult my Family!

Impugn my Freedom!...

 

…Earn my disdain;

suffer my wrath;

wish for a “re-do”.

 

Reap the whirlwind harvest of pernicious evil-purpose

of the very despicable, malevolent deceit ye faux-sowed.

 

Practice Respect for appropriate Reverence! Always!

And---Have a nice day!

 

Amen!

 



Just---

...Love!

Kiss the new Dawn Chance

 

Awake!

 

Kiss soft yon morning’s amber dawn

Embrace high noon day’s sun-y spawn

Dusk-hinted purple hues caressing fawn

Love restful peace midnight-black song

 

Refresh memory clear crystal drop of dew

Reminiscent! Pale dawns seek once I view

 

Labored muscles strained beyond warm mid-day

Cool dapple respite shade innocent child’s play

 

Straight-up sun announce lunch break, it should

Rest wearied bones, ambition renewed, it could

 

Kiss soft yon morning’s amber dawn

Embrace high noon day’s sun-y spawn

Dusk-hinted purple hues caressing fawn

Love restful peace midnight-black song

 

Orb-orange traverse tranquil cerulean sky

Mark history-time lapsed ever slowly by

 

Violet call deep purple evening fresh shower

Waft pleasant fragrance vibrant satiated flower

 

Blue-black velvet diamond pierced white light

Enchanted canvass sweet fantasy dreams tonight

 

Kiss soft yon morning’s amber dawn

Embrace high noon day’s sun-y spawn

Dusk-hint purple hues caressing fawn

Love restful peace midnight-black song

 

Find yonder subtle hope of one more try

Utilize distilled goodness purchase-buy

Tidy edges pure, cause evil intent to cry

Dare cross display-exhibit, never to shy

Value hold; virtue practice; share good pie

 

Amen!
