Stones of Fire



The simplicity of magic,
Is joining passion with persistence,
Never giving up,
Makes imagination real.
The first essential need,
Bringing magic into life,
A non-negotiable term,
It is the skill to feel.

To feel is not entitled,
It is a skill to be honed,
A stone requiring polish,
Each and every day.
It’s glory comes through pain,
Made more precious through the fire,
Adding beauty to the world,
In a very special way.

Along the way are stones,
Each a different color,
Catching the light of God,
Creating a rainbow through love.
A precious stone enfolded,
Within gray rock of the earth,
Requires free will sparks of change,
To capture the glorious light from above.

With many colored gemstones,
Beneath the sun’s rays,
Each one will reflect,
A different hue of fire.
Let our feelings reflect,
God’s perfect light above,
Through the colors of our gifts,
And love will take it higher.

The Song of Wine



Seek a slender vessel,
Behold one among many,
Filled to the brim,
Each one is a story,
The fruit of life’s labor,
Each one in glory.

As a vessel pours forth,
The wine is not wasted,
For the fruit is in spirit,
The love of God tasted,
We are all of the vine,
Within the song of wine.

Each taste from a source,
Of flowers, fire, and wind,
From the Earth it’s begotten,
Lands both near and far,
Love grown in life’s light,
And rest beneath the stars.

As a vessel pours forth,
The wine is not wasted,
For the fruit is in spirit,
The love of God tasted,
We are all of the vine,
Within the song of wine.

Some sweeter flowered wines,
Of ruby lips and charm,
Shine warmth of grace in soul,
Others standing tall and robust,
In protecting the growing vine,
Shine soul virtuous and just.

As a vessel pours forth,
The wine is not wasted,
For the fruit is in spirit,
The love of God tasted,
We are all of the vine,
Within the song of wine.

Once a vessel is aged and full,
It can never be truly emptied,
Poured forth into life,
Life is perfected prolonged,
Filling Heaven’s bountiful sea,
Each note a part of the song.

As a vessel pours forth,
The wine is not wasted,
For the fruit is in spirit,
The love of God tasted,
We are all of the vine,
Within the song of wine.
