A Civil War tune

 

Jenna’s Tears

(a Civil War tune)

 

Sits a dog-trot log cabin in yonder green meadow

Her beau went away to win some damn ole war

Jenna’s tears flow in lamented afternoon shadow

Waiting brokenhearted to night wish upon a star

 

Sovereign states secede in joined Rebel Confederation

Righteous Union boys don the “Blue”, volunteer to fight

Ole Abe gives the civil-uprising Presidential consideration

Fort Sumter volley; bloody Gettysburg; Atlanta-burning site

 

Jenna’s love allowed a month to defeat the Damn Yankee and win

 Disciplined Union Army marched across Dixie scorching the land

Evil begets evil! Young men transgress? Surely the pernicious sin!

Cotton crop trampled; cotton bales burned; plantation slaves banned

 

No peace! Ever! From those seeking “Peace”-speak motivation

No sooner the first anger-shot than a search for hope-resolution

Leaders lavish meet to discuss terms in frustration-consternation

Polticos blood protected through a business older than prostitution

 

Sits a dog-trot log cabin in yonder green meadow

Unpainted weathered wood barn leans near-by

Jenna’s tears flow in lamented afternoon shadow

Eyes search the dark heavens for a salvation-reply

 

Sweet Jenna waits two long years for a letter from her beau

None other will she look at nor endanger her sacred vow

Horror stories visit home as she prays, “He’s alive! I know.”

Jenna waits as promised, saving herself as best she knows how

 

Finally, a letter! He’s alive! Held in a prison-camp hell-hole

Death! Depravation! Starving! A stench of brimstone hot hell

He tells Jenna to forget him; his spirit is broken; he has lost his soul

He’d forsake it all. Honor ole Davy patching up the Liberty Bell

 

When their tired ole battles end, as surely they all must

“Wounded” soldiers trudge past, vacant any promised trust

Pure wasted national blood-treasure---ashes to ashes…dust to dust

 

Sits a dog-trot log cabin in yonder green meadow

Her beau went away to win some damn ole war

Jenna’s tears flow in lamented afternoon shadow

Waiting brokenhearted to night wish upon a star



Rain! Today!---Yea! (Adventure! Awaits)

 

A Chance---

 

 

To dance between the rain drops---Wow!

 

No complaints! None!

 

Thank Thee for another chance.

 

Once, decades ago, we had planned a picnic at a

scenic state park, Meramec Springs, near St. James, MO.

Rain greeted us early and settled in for the day,

so we cancelled the hour and a half trip .Instead,

we invited our guests to our house for an "indoor" picnic.

 

Wow! What an adventuresome day! Fun! Games! Comradery!

 

Our dining table served as the picnic gathering place.

Everybody had a GREAT time! One and all!

 

And, the picnic at the Springs? We did it many other days.

Multiply the pleasure! It' really is all about: Attitude!

 

Stop trying to micro-manage life; it'll happen. Enjoy!

 

Amen!

Did you see that?

 

Pay Attention!

 

When I was a kid, people said we were too poor to---

Pay Attention!

 

Well? Maybe so? I never thought about it...actually.

Did not matter much if we really were poor---or...rich.

I was well-fed, -housed, -clothed, -educated (secular and religious).

All-in-all: Satisfied! Happy! Fair!

"Justice and freedom for all!" Amen!

 

Strong Faith!

Great Family!

Sweet Freedom!

 

Every day---events leading to awesome...adventure!

All one need do is---Look!

 

Yes! Even, still, today!

 

Bored people are boring people.

Combine that with lonesome---and...Boredom!

 

View the dawn; follow a cloud; appreciate sunrise.

Mow the lawn, manicure it; smell the roses; Live!

 

Plant flowers---or, a tree...or, ten thousand-plus!

Travel around the neighborhood, state, country, world!

How? One step at a time---each, following the first one!

 

Have an issue? Want a solution?

Get a mirror; look at the self-image

and see both in a single glance.

 

It Is your "choice"!

Truth! Is your Redemption-Salvation!

 

It is: Free! Choose: Life!

 

Find: Love! Embrace: Love! Live: Love!

 

Love! IS all that ever really matters;

it is the answer for reality!

 

Amen!

 



Great Easter!

 

Colored Eggs

 

Fantastic food! Great company! Fun!

 

Thank you! One and All! What a great Easter Day!

 

Always good to get together.

 

Faith! Family! Freedom!---Wow!

 

Everything really is...Simple!

 

Tomorrow? A new week! Oh! Yeah!

 

Another chance; one more adventure!

 

Thank You!

 

Amen!

Happy Easter! Alleluia!

Easter Sunday!

 

Jesus Christ is risen today! Alleluia!

 

Quintessential Christ: Holy Resurrection!

The ultimate triumph-victory over evil-death!

 

The pinnacle-belief of Christianity;

the reverent-essence of sacred-religion!

 

Value! Virtue! Faith! Hope! Charity! Family! Freedom! 

Each personified in The Trinity including Jesus Christ!

 

Redemption! Forgiveness! Reconciliation! Salvation!

 

Pray I:
Thy life-basket overflow with rainbow-hue sparkle-sunshine;

your vision be vibrant with myriad butterfly flutterings

a spirit soaring on a winged-white magical unicorn.

(Dare take the challenge---and...join me) Please!

He gave thee---Life!
Return the kindness with...Love!

Appreciate all golden sun shafts of Happiness!
Greet each precious dawn; embrace Mother Nature!
Revere one another! Enjoy the seasons!
Feed the birds! Plant a tree! (or---10,000...plus!)

Smile! Today---is...Easter Sunday!
 

Happy Easter!

 

Amen!



Holy Saturday! Amen!

 

Fantastic Saturday!

(Holy week)

 

 

Mid-night black velvet diamond-blue

Dawn-hint horizon-line bright-true

Sunrise-promise another chance knew

Thanks for the challenge---accept it...I do!

 

Deep breath with fresh-day born

No time for history lament forlorn

 

Adventure-bound surprise event---Bring it!

Fair sky? Rain? Snow? I'll dance it! Sing it!

 

With my mantra on a golden gonfalon display

Faith! Family! Freedom! Love for life to play

 

If I see you, pause, embrace and speak awhile

Remember! Please! As we part, my genuine smile

 

It's great Saturday! A chance to triumph---again!

To take it for granted? Surely a pernicious sin!

 

Each year---Delightful! A month---pure-Pleasure! 

One day? Each instant? My secret sacred-Treasure!

 

A Great life? Uh-huh! You bet: I did! I do! I shall!

You? Join simple-humble me---Dare not miss any of it at all!

 

Through Thy strength, blessings, Grace! Amen!

In Your Praise! Honor! Glory! One more time---Amen!

 

Amen! Again---Amen!...Amen!

 

 



Good Friday! Amen!

"The" Spirit lives!

 

 

They ridiculed Him;

Made Him carry a cross;

Nailed Him to it---and, watched Him...die!

 

For: Simple I, Humble me, all Sinful mankind!

 

In three days, He conquered evil death---and...

Arose from the dead!

 

You just can't keep a Good-Man down!

 

Fear not! Follow Me!

Amen!

 

Wind & Lightning!

 

Catch "wind" and quell its "Cool!'

"Lightning" in a bottle negates  a Thunder!-roar.

 

No! Spirit cannot be broken---not even...subdued.

A Heart might be broken---and, even...subdued.

 

Faith! Family! Freedom! I shall soar in Triumph!

 

Amen! Just: Amen!

 

Reverence: Good Friday!



Adventure?

 

Live it---

 

 

"Gold" is where you find it---

so is...Life!

 

Enjoy! Each day! Every instant!

 

Life is short; don't miss a second of it!

 

Amen!

Why?

 

Reap what ye sow!

 

 

Don't like the "yield"? Hmm!

 

Perhaps? Just---Perhaps! (A different plan)?

 

The "answers" to everything are contained in that black-cover book.

 

What does "that" idiocy mean!?

 

Well!? Let's see.

 

Scripture states: Reap what you sow!

 

Perhaps!? Try: Peace through Love!

 

That yield is : Peace! Love!

 

Of course, such idiocy is---Idiocy!

 

How do you know? It has never been tried!

Never!

 

Such opposition might just be WRONG! Again!

 

I sincerely wish thee: Peace! Love!

 

Amen!

 



What do we do now?

Pray!

 

And---Persevere!  ...Again!

 

Amen!

Ambition! Yeah!

 

Satisfaction!

 

In any mid-night mist, under a new-sun kissed,

anyplace is alright, long as Ambition reigns un-missed.

 

The easy will take care of itself.

Challenges provide for self-wit.

Those courageous Wise improvise,

adapt and overcome difficulties.

If it's easy, anybody can do it.

 

Salve the troubled soul;

satiate a wounded spirit;

heal a broken heart with Love!

 

Treasure is in the Pleasure of---Doing!

 

Fear not! Follow Me!

Good advice! A map to Paradise Island!

 

If you can do it---you will accomplish it.

 

A vacant lament un-worthy of Ambition:

I could have?

I should have?

I would have?

 

Poor excuses! Empty wishes!

 

The Problem: Whatever?

The Solution: You!

 

In the beginning, it's up to you; 

in the end, it's up to you!

 

Accept destiny as it reveals itself;

hone razor-sharp the ability;

Triumph!

 

You can do it! You!

 

Daylight's burning!
What are you waiting for?

 

Just---do...It! Now! Begin!

 

Amen! 

In the end---

 

Is...

 

A new beginning!

 

It's Sunday! Again!

 

Amen! 

Limo-Girl birthday party!

 

Some people know how to---Live!

 

 

Lexi celebrated with a limo-ride for the birthday girl and

a group of her friends including her cousins and surrogate sisters: 

Miss Lauren Victoria Baur and Miss Anna Marie Baur, among others.

 

Her big brother, Z. Tyler Evans, accompanied Lexi to the zoo, today.

 

All in all, quite a beginning to her teen years---Congrtulations!

 

Onward and upward---Gang! What a great group!

Thank you! One and all!

 

The adventure had been my complete pleasure;

I pray it continues for many decades and that you

all continue to include me in the festivities.

 

I love each of you more than life.

 

Amen! 

Happy 13th Birthday! Alexandria Elizabeth! Our "Lexli-Lu"!

Soft love-embrace melds thy essence into spirit-heart of mine

Gentle hold yon softness hand, brush-kiss tender cheek refine

Surrogate-sisters Lauren and Anna Marie no doubt you “can”

 

And, Mom with Poppy always-forever in your corner-Triumphant!

“Shanny”-dog, Zoe-cat, horse-Leo! Think you need an elephant?

 

While Nanny fawns with pretties for her lovely genteel-girls

Bapa’s rough and tough with errant, vacant words he swirls

 

Except when often so I confess my main transgress in life, I do

To hold thy lovely image in this heart to truly say, “I love you!”

 

For long have we dearly shared this Love-space through time rhapsody

Peace!? Who!? Me!?

 

Who?

 

 

Yeah!

 

Amen!

Polls are---Closed! Wow!

 

And---then...there were two!

 

 

"The Donald" trumps ( a purposed pun) all comers!

 

I did not vote for Trump in the primary;

I gave my check-mark to Ted Cruz.

 

I live on emotion; not that it necessarily shows.

But, in serious matters I must triumph "Pragmatism".

And, I did just that with my "true" inspiration;

Senator Cruz best represents my core beliefs:

Faith! Family! Freedom!

(That eternal sacred Trinity)

 

So? Mr. Trump wins---again...tonight! Bravo!

 

"We the people..." won a huge victory, today.

 

I can live with Trump---or...Cruz.

 

Either, or, both (if you get my drift) can, and, will,

handily handle the faux "elite"; their time has come!

 

"Real" nice suit, Jeb-boy, but, the message is---Old!

 

Bye-Bye! Establishment-types. Bye-Bye!

 

And, the awful secret Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Hannity, Beck

 and the (sick) cadre of  Alphabet-soup "media"-types---

We the people..."loathe" politicos; but, we really "despise" the media!

 

And, there IS the untold story! Children!

 

Amen!

 



Teach mankind sing the world...

 

Horizon-Kissed

 

Satiate-soft wispy shadow-wraith tendril-whisper first-hint new dawn

Emerald clover meadow crystal-fresh dew; whitetail doe, a frolic-fawn

 

Sunrise harbinger chase night time purple-black from diamond strewn sky

Orange-glow portends rising eternal fire-glow defeat demons “Good-bye!”

 

Same conflagration-orb has sojourned once more around the circle-tempo

Cadenced-call four season-time through universal space of reason-simple

 

Endeavor-struggle peak above yon crest in blaze-of-glory triumph celebration

Shine honey-gold embrace-of-sugar love sweet lick candy stick in adulation

 

Another day; a challenge-chance; once more around the lilac-Iris fragrant-field

Bring breath refresh steadfast desire for life-Love! action-speak yon tender-yield

 

For, in the sphere lives “humble”-I to cast a simple shadow value-virtue try

Might anything, save Love! refine design-resign assign align torment defy?

 

But, surely tender-kissed by scented pine-y whisper-wind refreshing-caress

Across wide prairie-plain to touch awesome purple mountain majesty possess

 

Yonder! Hear! Pacific-blue wave white-crest clarion-beckon escarpment-far

Soft! Pleasant! Lulling surf tender embrace white-sand beach no stranger bar

 

Beyond yonder wind-torn white-cap spray to Diamond-head gracing blue bay

Shine Italy-boot visit Father-homeland enjoy buttered crisp crumpets with hot tea

 

Cross wide pond “Atlantic”-named land Plymouth Rock---Home! Again, at long last!

Yon sun flaming ball has traveled far only to return at inception point quite superfast

 

And, “humble”-I have watched another miracle play

Touched soft again a pleasure-nuanced Perfect day

Listened intent nature-quiet mystery offering solution-say

Fragrant-smelled myriad flower-beauty intoxicating May

Savored-sweet sugar-honey Love-lick Caribbean crystal cay

 

For all of Life and Love not one single penny dare I---Pay!

Save! “Thank You, Lord!” afore to comfort-sleep I…Lay!

 

Amen!



Excerpt- Prologue from "...And Justice for all" (Amazon books by Carl Schuler)

Prologue

 

 

The Crime?

 

Seek first a tiny spark of truth to fall upon the tender nest of curiosity bound loose with inborn sprigs of righteous judgment fibers to catch, ignite and flare to flames fanned by exploration into consuming conflagration; question the beliefs, discard the faux, hold dear the truths which stand tall worthwhile to scrutiny; forsake the lie, irrelevant the source; cling only long to sacred purity.

 

 

The Prosecution

 

Murder be the charge! Not one elite can ever be allowed to find immunity of consequence for acts of selfish abandonment of law, neither codified by human intent nor sanctified in God. Even should the secular “the ends justify the means” must abide the rules less anarchy might rule. To prescribe irrational “rationalization” or to support un-just “justification” becomes an evil sin.

 

 

The Defense

 

Speaks now, ye cursed accused: “Awaiting trial this last ninety days while legality readiness labored slowly unabated, the accusations laid upon bared reputation have been thoroughly reviewed, dissected, micro-scoped and, finally, concluded. Erudite, formidable defense counsel will offer argue while attest that any action perpetrated resulted from character demanded of a personality necessary to ‘follow orders’ without concern, examination, challenge or assessment.

“And, I confess, it is often government deliberate to sanction behavior polite sophisticates might find abhorrent in their daily deportment of pleasantries; still, I, must be accountable for actions of my choosing, though the intricate intertwining of the various reasons might be debatable. In the end, judgment of one’s peers might be impossible, for whom among you is like me, or, I, like any of you in the essence of our being; ultimately, only one eternal conclusion shall matter at all. Then, pray I, justice true; yet, temper such with some liberal-measured mercy.

“Learned Madam Prosecutor appropriately raises proudly the specter of which among us has right to warrant death over life upon a whim. I bow to you, Madam Purveyor of abortion rights.

“So, in faux defense, I confess to commission of evil offense. And, now, you, the jury, at the instruction of His Honor, must impart Solomon’s wisdom, rendering---‘…and, Justice for all!’”

 

Faith! Family! Freedom! Might just be all of reality there…is!

In one eternal instant, the only valued judgment will be…His!

 

That applicable Judgment?

 

(Respectfully reserved to the Epilogue at the conclusion of the narrative)

 

 

 

Remember---Sunday...

 

Redemption!? Salvation!?

 

 

Great days? Sure! Mostly.

Challenge-clouds!? Um! Hm! A few! I guess?

Not worth "worry"! Nothing in this life---Is!

 

Redemption? As close as a satisfaction-smile. 

Salvation!? In sweet knowledge of...Truth!

 

"...And, the truth shall set you free..."

 

Amen!

The "Peace" of "Love"!

 

Dare---Begin!

 

 

"Let there be Peace in Life---

and...Let it begin with my Love!

 

Smile! Reap what ye sow!

 

So many people Love thee; let them!

 

Amen!

excerpt intro to "Horizon-Dawn" (Amazon books) coming March, 2016

Treasure-Measure!

 

 

Comes, then, man into promised-paradise world

Perpetual evil-good battle-conflagration swirled

 

Innocent-born of nature-independent determination

Must soon choose individual-personal demarcation

 

What value be those faux-material accumulation horded?

Rather, seek sacred virtue-treasure golden-heart chorded

 

“Intent!” That one secret ingredient to life “Happiness”-sought

“Purpose!” Worthy conclusion perceived of Good-will taught

 

A dollar found, quick spent---Old saw…”Finders-keepers!”

One penny overcharge returned---Honest! Humble-sleepers!

 

Insatiable of a selfish-contented vast fortune eternal-chased

Yon golden shrine upon the hill false vacant-success encased

 

Through the challenge-struggle appreciate each subtle event

Adventure-determine life-triumph utilizing holy talent sent

 

Garner all empty pride safe-secured gold-silver absent true Love!?

Choose righteous trace on journey-trek follow Grace! White-dove!

 

Fate! Patient waits at river-water’s edge to swallow evil soul

Kingdom-celestial bestowed upon sacred peel of gold bell-toll

 

For each be free to choose delight in crystal-clarity design

Or live un-truth provide excuse deny a humble-pure refine

 

Yet, on yon sojourn remember always to smell any fragrant roses

In reflecting-glass appears the face-of-fate which thy life imposes

 

If there be justice-lament compunction come yon Judgment Day!

Preempt! Confess-transgress redemption seek---Salvation…Pray!

 

Always! Another chance! Once more a practiced hope to get it Right!

Only one time “too late”-fate as final light fades pale worldly-sight

 

Might, then, value counted treasure be merely heaven quality measure?

 

Amen!
