Winter Solstice

The trees stand tall all around me

The breeze

Whistles through the branches

Bereft of leaves

Daringly reminding!

The change of the season

Hath begun!

Old Man Winter hath replaced comfort

The time of the sun

The brusque frigid wind shuns

The bitter cold sharpens the mind

The Solstice growing stronger

Through space and time

Land and sea icily entwined

Biding the pulse and rhythm

Towards the rapturous invigorating re-wind

To sumptuous newborn Spring

Awaits alas

Amid the dream Ursidae imagines

Hibernating!

Nature’s beckoning

The frost to prickly bear

Soon to grumpily awaken

Endure the chilling gelid allure

Until Savor Faire!

Voila!

The flora are reborn

The bees and butterflies airborne!

The fauna and the creatures of the sea pulsating

Alive!

The will to survive

No longer forlorn

Man and the Universe!

Continue their symbiotic trek

As the saplings and evergreens

Oak and Maple glean

What doth the future bring?

Discerned most subtly

Silently

Via the One’s will ultra spanned

Fledgling leaves apparent now

Ever present

Brightening!

In the life-giving airstream

Branchy shadows reach out to the forest

Dispersed via the rays of sunshine

Nature reveals

Conceals

As its motherly hand

Yes Dear

Yes Dear!

I am sincere

Of your desire

To commandeer

I encourage

With great cheer!

I shalt pay rapt attention

Dog-eared!

Yes Dear!

I am obedient

In your sphere

My deference is crystal clear

King Arthur bows stealthily

To his Queen Guinevere

The willing volunteer

Yes Dear!

From my vocabulary

Assent

Shalt never disappear

I do not mean to be cavalier

When I state emphatically

As the auctioneer

I am body and souled

Of Yes Dear!

Oh! Pray tell

Imagine!

The grand coming New Year!

Via those two fantabulous words

Surely evoked by mine devoted Hector

Most promising Shakespeare

Yes Dear!

Take Your Medicine

Take your medicine

Heal your unhistoric pain

Lie in the bed

You made

Once again

Regress to “progress”

Is the name of your game

Things are much easier

Amass uninformed billionaire

Celebrity “believers” of deceivers

When you are not the leaders

Just passing the blame

Frown

Babble incessantly of burning the house down

All the same

Forces One to reckon

Devises a plan for the future

Or encourages action

This very second

Warns of pitfalls

Explains the options

Leaves an impression

On ways forward

To counter transgression

An independent voice leads

Extolling honesty

The Impeller of good deeds

Ready to deceive

The boss of the criminal

Inspire others to rank greed

Bringing out emotions

Promoting devotion

Social showboating

Causing even the wretched

To swing

A voice sound travels

Throughout time and space

Leaving behind vocal remnants

Of dictatorial disharmony

Steadfast democratic grace

A voice properly

Dastardly utilized

Whether supremely prized

Or momentarily marginalized

Has the power

To elevate

Or disintegrate

Changing the course of the vast Universe

The collective consciousness

Listen!
