Evocative Scents

Evocative Scents

phlox blossoms

and watermelon

open to whisper

their presence

with evocative

cool sweetness

scents

so like the

subtle scent

that whispers

through woods

and fields

foretelling

Fall’s first snow

the mind begins

to wonder

but the senses

already know

the mind begins

to wonder

will we let

our greed

consume us

as we breathe

polluted air

when does need

transform to greed

when is

so much more

enough

what fragrance

will we gift

our future Earth

to wear

phlox blossoms

and watermelon

faintly whisper

when is

so much more

Enough

Love Applied

Love Applied   (my digital music composition)

Is Race, Religion, or Country your pride

while all others you deride?

Do Cultural Prejudices rule and guide

the Social Laws where you reside?

Do Ancient World Views and Feuds divide

and lead to Human Rights denied?

When will you, you, decide

too many have suffered, too many have died?

When will you, you, provide

your World with hope of Love Applied?

Life creates each and every form

in constant change. You’ll be reborn.

Perhaps into all you now despise.

Perhaps into all you now deride.

Then will you, you, decide

too many have suffered, too many have died?

Then will you, you, provide

your World with hope of Love Applied?

(Shelley Wilson   May 24, 2015)

Message To Self

Sunflowerandbutterflies_Painting

Message To Self (my digital music composition)

Message to self:

You are what you eat-

that tasty and delicious meat

of creatures legally tortured in life

and terrorized in painful death

-without conscience or integrity-

-without mercy or gratitude-

-an insatiable greed for sacrifice.

You are what you eat.

Can you face this truth of all that you’ve become?

Investigate and educate yourself.

You’ll see there’s so much more.

Your body has no true need

to be a human carnivore

when Nature offers so much more

healthy fare to feed your body’s need.

Your cells will sing with gratitude.

Another one free of the heartless tyranny,

all Nature will sing with gratitude,

thankful for what you eat

and all you’ll now become.

why i understand

why i understand   (my digital music composition)

i have feasted in Palaces of Power

and starved, powerless, In The Streets…

i’ve been exalted in Victory’s Hours

and denigrated in Days of Defeat…

so many Lives, so many Griefs-

so many Lives, so many Beliefs…

i’ve shouted the loud, angry Battle Cry

and used a small, soft Voice to Question Why…

i’ve seen this World through many Views

and acted (sometimes) on Love’s Clear Cues…

sometimes i ignore or attune to my Soul

whispering ‘Only Love’ as the Glorious Goal

(not ‘Stuff or Status’, Wealth or Fame)

as i travel Life’s Journeys and play Life’s Games…

i’ve explored many Values, both Dark and Light,

to find Understanding and gain Insight…

sometimes i Remember, sometimes i Forget

but each Life is precious and none i regret

whether Human or Other- as in Lives yet to be

Creating and Evolving through Love’s Energy…

judgements

Still Silence   (my digital music composition)

was Narcissus enchanted

by the Beauty of his Reflection

like Philosophers, Poets, Thinkers even today…

was he deep or shallow as they say…

did Narcissus clearly see

the Wonder and Beauty of God

reflected in Life’s Mirror,

every Atom created by Love…

was Narcissus stuck in vanity

or was he simply enraptured

in A Moment’s Eternity

seeing All Life as being Love…

what say Ye Love…

(With Love, Shelley)
