RISE AND SHINE

Gilded sun rays clear the haze
Lighted lights go out apace
Another rise over the mount
Live creatures roused from their fount

Beings they gather and disperse
Shrieking shouts and small whispers
Wings above while eyes trained below
all stir for what might follow

Those ordained all fall in line some lie still in thoughts opined chosen ones to fruition live while others Fates weigh and sieve 8>)

FOR MY FRIENDS
1
Courtesy in deeds driven
Ev'ry gesture plays a part
Fair regard gladly given
Fondness well planted in heart

2 Ye fair rovers in life torches glow and fires swell upon the reach of warm hive We wish thee "all be well"

3
For those true let none deceive
Be relieved by what's believed
Within sadness joy's reprieve
Joy increased from joy received

YEAR'S END

The present year retires to rest with history Another course expires to lodge in memory

A new course woven and spun while we adorn its space Concerns commence and are done come what may rush or haste
