    The Many Unseen Gifts

    Should man's daily treks include love of Nature's gifts
    and inhaling its forested beauty and blue, blue skies
    Vast oceans, sandy beaches, great washing tidal shifts
    enormity of it's gifts man too oft denies?

    Swim On A Warm Summer Day

    Walking these fields and over to the flowing stream
    June's great shining day and a cool refreshing swim
    Waters found fast flowing, blasting welcoming gleam
    and this soul glad it wandered thus on a mere whim.

    A Fine July Night

    A fine July night and brilliant stars glow above
    windows open to let in uncommon cool breeze
    Countryside, away from city's hustle and shove
    laying back, resting this magic night, so at ease!

    ---------------------------------------------------------------

    I woke this morn and decided to write a sonnet using these quatrains.
    Create a title from the thoughts and ideas represented in these three.
    Then add a closing couplet as a conclusion.
    Here is what I came up with.. and this is my first time ever doing this....
    The combining of separate and entirely distinct pieces to create a new poem/sonnet...-Tyr

    In A Time And A Place, So Very Long Ago

    Should man's daily treks include love of Nature's gifts
    inhaling forest's beauty and blue, blue skies.
    Vast oceans, sandy beaches, washing tidal shifts
    enormity of it's gifts man too oft denies?

    Walking these fields and over to the flowing stream
    June's great shining day and a cool refreshing swim.
    Waters found fast flowing, blasting welcoming gleam
    and this soul glad it wandered thus on a mere whim.

    Fine July night and brilliant stars glow far above
    windows open to let in uncommon cool breeze.
    Countryside, away from city's hustle and shove
    laying back, resting this magic night, so at ease!

    Wake to new day and life falling down onto me.
    In past futures, rolls Time's round, never-ending Sea.

    Look Beyond That Deserted Horizon

    Wherein sad and long lost love hides,
    is in a heart pierced by crushed dreams and lonesome nights.
    Broken soul can hardly abide,
    memories of the loss that birthed cursed fires casting no lights.
    Let the fiddlier play his tunes,
    this world will always tempt thy heart with its dazzling heights.
    Look beyond hot desert sand dunes,
    for lush oasis of love returning its precious and beautiful sights!

    Beneath Crying Of Lost Skies And Low Wailing Moons

    As thy soul rests easily in its blinded night
    this dark and malignant world plays its blinding tunes
    What pride thy arrogance takes in its blinded sight
    beneath crying of lost skies and low wailing moons.

    Speak With Courageous Voices

    When they dull your axe, your new hammer hits hard
    they break your window, cut'em with each broken shard
    Life offer so many new twists and hard choices
    be not a sheep, speak with courageous voices!

    Walk Upon Bright Heavenly Clouds At Night

    Leave teeming crowds and seek another path
    walk upon bright heavenly clouds at night.
    Abandon envy and hate, their fearsome wrath
    find true peace with thy soul truly contrite.

    Before Poetry Came

    What was I, before my poet was born
    empty of heart and time and quite forlorn.
    Again, what was I, before I became this
    waiting for hope, poetry I did miss.
