CRR LXXIII (Something in the AM…)

Ross — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 11:48:27 +0000

I am walking away

or so I think and say.

With every step I take

in to a future today,

a step away from yore today,

a walkabout of every new today.

I am thinking

or so I walk and talk away.

With every word I share

in love’s nomadic you,

I re-live the good old days

I feel the pain of rueful sayings,

a lingering in each new today.

I pine

or so I cry

with each breath away

in stillness of hue,

I hold on tight

and I smile

hoping you’d remain

ever and forever

in every whisper today.

I am

or so I hope and pray

on every breath I flower,

today, but a dream away.

Rippled and Timed

Rippled and Timed

Today, our living waters

the fountains and streams

of yesterday’s forsaken wells.

Rippled upon time.

Tomorrow, our future rain

the storms and rivers

of today’s wrought ways.

Forgoned in time.

Yesterday, ripples knowledge

into today… and today.

Today… tomorrow

paved by yesterday’s dreams.

The Day – Holding tears

Ross — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 14:09:20 +0000

What a beautiful day it is, I am because of today. Today is the celebration of the birth of my mother, Roslyn Rayners. Old Lady you may not be here anymore, but not a day goes by that you are not remembered. You live through me, Sherwyn, Chene and your first grandchild Keziah. It feels like only yesterday when you finally embarked on the journey to go live with the Big Man (your Father) upstairs as we sang ‘It is well with my soul‘. Because of you, in celebration of your life. Happy Birthday, Old Lady.

C.R.R. LIV (holding tears)

In the beginning …

the universe hued,

everything in creation

rises within you -

as everything in you

rest in creation.

A cry, that was a dawn

upon a coming of age.

A plea of us, tears of us.

And that is how our time began.

From the very first moment

our tears and fingers met

with an intimate peck

you were always there

and upon that first smile

we shared… you held a tear.

And with that first gentle touch,

shared with smiling eyes

forging a forever

where even angel’s0

fear to tread.

Taking the first step together

holding my hand in yours

you held your breath in disbelief,

for since that day

you knew, I’ve grown,

holding a tear to your heart.

And as for the last smile,

holding your hand in mine.

Watching you smile away

I hold a tear to my heart

butterfly kisses dances, dances within,

whispering this moment away.

Looking deep into you,

lounging in your eternal sunrise

winnowing petals honoring eternity,

rememberances bearing your sigh

rests in my cries

and I know we’ll… I’ll be fine.

Till we meet again

holding tears in our heart.

With tears we’ll meet

in tears we’ll part

and that is how our hue

will forever… begin.

(Firefly)

How many times did I ever fall in love with you,

eish, best I son’salet, count my blessings,

and name them one by one, every last one of them.

I fell for you,

the first day, I held your sway.

I fell head over heels, whenever you whisper my name.

I fall whenever, wherever your beingness waft

like a vanilla-jasmine’d aurora true-north wind,

a breath of every-each morselness that is, I am.

How many times did I ever fall in love,

Just the thought of you, your lingering somethingness -

welled tears for you, our time together.

I fell, I fall over and over again ,

in love with you.

How many times,

everytime we coursed a different stray

and then in some angelic choir’d dream

you waif back into my oceanness

like a true north vanilla-jasmine’d aurora.

Did I ever fall in love with you

since first day, through the waifs and the stray

till kingdom come

now and forever

eish, I will always love you.

Dit is onmoontlik om suksesvol

te wees sonder uithoevermoë.

Indien jy suksesvol was

sonder opofferings

dan het iemand vir jou geoffer.

En indien jy gesaai het

net om die moed van glo te verloor

dan sal iemand jou vrugte maai.

>> L.J. Benjamen <<

~*~

>> Translation by Ross Rayners <<

It is impossible to be successful

without perseverance.

If you were successful

without forbearance

then someone else endured.

And if you nurtured

Just to loose the courage to believe

then someone following will harvest your fruit.

Know that all of you

that share with me,

in thinking and knowing

in the yester, morrow

or eventide are sheafed

on the lips of tears.

Each tear contains a whisper

that is your plea as a witness

as each plea echo life,

that is in me.
