Wheel of Fortune

In younger days, our mind we sculpt
A future fortune dogged with doubt
We go for the gamble
We spin the wheel
As fate lay it
My prize revealed

I member that day in our young love
When my heart told me I'd crossed thereof
Beyond a point in time does warn
Without you dear
of that I'd mourn

Life's layers, like snow fall on snow
What lies beneath, what lies before
What is to come lasts forevermore

Will you melt away before me
Will your last day be first

Will you melt away before me
Will it feel like a curse

Of rock or road, we have been down
Through good and bad our vows abound
Our pains have caused me strength
From where it came; I could not of gone
But only with you, my dearest one

So here we are before us, rather older than young
Time surely speaking forward, the melt has begun
And so it must be, oh so naturally
More dull, less sharp
But not of my love
You've always been my fortune, my dearest one

Life's layers, like snow fall on snow
What lies beneath, what lies before
What is to come lasts forevermore

Will you melt away before me
Will your last day be first

Will you melt away before me
Will it feel like a curse

As I sit here next to you
As day goes to night
Know'n the road is get'in closer
To the final homeward light
Let me tell you simply
Dearest of dear
Shall you melt away before me
I'll still love you so sincere

Closer Than It May Appear

Photo by Vicki Heschke Crossing the prairies o’er old swirling seas Cloudy and gray with fresh fallen snow. Nested in green, in a wreath of pine trees, A wondrous tower rises; its truth to know. The seas long ago did slowly abate Leaving flat land of grass and of rock. Here Lakota camp where they migrate As young girls sing to a swirling hawk. Early rays of the warm spring sun Bears do wake, each groggy in dens. Distant sounds of girls having fun Hunger surging, bears signal their friends. The laughter rises; the bears start to chase Turning to shrieks as the beasts come near. A big rock ahead, tho’ now it’s a race Closing the gap, turning laughter to fear.  Clamber the rock; its safety girls seek A circle is formed, clasped hands very tight. Pray they must; the Great Spirit does speak The ground starts to shake as day turns to night Angry and clawing, bears growl and grumble The rock, as it rises, now heard a fierce groan! Yet climb as they might, down do they tumble Leaving claw...

I, Newton, in science doth e’er believe tho’ ne’er the same of the Trinity. Gravity begs my mind to retrieve that Rationalism reveals my true affinity. Anguished am I, these thoughts I doth harbor "Apostasy!" they’d say, I hide them from view. Writing in my journal reveals my ardor, Science or God? Canst but one be true?   To think, to behold, to study and wonder my thoughts of God, written to none. For secrets remain, the Clergy doth ponder: "Is it science or God? There is only One!"   The Forest for me that most reverent God, upon its branches my mind doth see. Idolatry to Three beckons a fraud as the apple does fall so close to this tree.   The shoulders of Kepler, Galileo and Boyle support unyielding this long arc of science. Enlightened our minds, a lab we doth toil’d to unlock the secrets, tho’ in God, show defiance.   Then Science it is! The optics are clear. The numbers don’t lie, calculus is real. Inertia and motion, equal, opposite - no fear. Predictabl...
