Amidst the Orchids OlaI stand and viewIn awe the flowers across the way, Wearing between the sprayLimbs of green and brown.Leaves flow from the branches, As the blossoms spread to bareSweet fragrance on the wind.Colors wind within the blooms, And share a sweet perfumeTo dazzle all my sensesBefore the flower dies.I stand unable to look beyondThe beauty amidst the orchids.It is no secret that the delicate bouquetIs as fragile as it is fair.I look across the way, And see beyond the petals and the green.Amidst the orchids, I stand so close and yet so farTo view the petals on display.Amidst the...

"Faithful Creator Remove from me all malice and hate
Remove the desire to retaliate
Fill my heart with love and charity
Help me forgive when others offend me
When I am weak, while running this race
Bless my soul with sufficient grace
Give me a mind to do thy will
Wisdom to know when to keep still
Let me live so others might see
Your divine light shining through me
Prepare my heart with each step I take
Reducing the errors I am apt to make
Let joy and peace abound in my life
Put far from me all envy and strife
Help me to atone for faults...

BLINDFOLDS

We wear our blindfolds,
Blindfolds of many colors.
Like sunglasses of convenience,
With tinted lenses fashioned to our fancy
That sometimes hide what's painful to acknowledge.

From time to time
Conscience removes the blindfolds
And therein lies the book.
The book of fears and prejudices
The book of challenges
Bigger than friends,
...

What was before Creation is not known By mortal intellects...this Mystery Is only understood by God alone, Who spoke the Word, and all things came to be. Omnipotence looked out on emptiness, And Chaos suddenly was cast aside, The universe replaced it with success, When light outran the darkness with one stride. For space and time were brought into the game, And then the void began to disappear, Thus nothing was no more...space overcame The empty depths, and time at last was here. So Truth, before the Cosmos was designed, Was only known to God's Omniscient Mind. -Sonnet 12 of Eternal Rhapsody...

RAMROD ROWS How similar they are, tall straight rows
of soldiers and corn that grow so fast
you can hear them in the night, must step
back quickly to keep from being hit by
the tears of joy that descend while
children become men as we watch
them sleeping. Corn shoots climb like Jack on his beanstalk
to their certain end, tassels waving in the
wind like celebrities' handkerchiefs
under the noses of starstruck admirers,
hiding so much sweetness in their
budding kernels they begin a descent to
tasteless in the instant of picking,
stalks...

"AN ABANDONED ROAD"
There is a path now where once there was a road
Where smooth brown earth and jaded rocks
Fell away in deep depression
The trail of wheels and neighing horses and of lighter walks
It grows thick and tall, the grass that was once held at bay
Dared not to rise where tramping feet would crush
But staged on edge where cruel ungainly winds
Vent their wrath unceasingly with rain and dust
It has conquered now, for slowly the grinding ceased
And the lighter steps dwindled with the laughter it had known
It dared to rise between the...

"The trumpeter brazenly flashes the tarnished brass While Velcro'ed against the red bricks and mortar Amidst the ivories, taunt skins, and sticks An invisible man wearing smudged spectacles Plucks his scarred upright bass amply heard Above the desultory applause of the allegiant Bottles of lager and ale are chilled and ready To mollify the nerves of yellowed white-collars All slaves to slaves of Wall Street's vagary Where the value of freedom is determined by Volvos and portfolios, the shackles of America Her fingers riffle through her hair in the dimness Woven and ponytailed, draped across...

Life is given to be taken care of, and so. Our live's are our fault. We could have changed it, if it didn't suit us. We didn't know how to change it. All the happenings, in all of our years, should have taught us more. We didn't pay attention. All the teachers around us, family, friends, strangers, enemies, including ourselves. All the good, all the bad, all the heartaches. We didn't pay attention. We've forgotten some of the good, because we didn't change the bad.
We are older, a bit wiser, looking back we stumble in thought. The bad gets worse, less talk about the good gets lost. God...

Richard Barnfield is an important Elizabethan poet whose work continues to gather appreciation from readers and critics alike. He was a brave voice in the English Renaissance who dared to publish poetry about one man's love for another man. In his student days in London, he published pastoral verse. Later his poetry turned didactic, but he never lost his gentle sense of line and image. For an unknown reason, he was disinherited by his father in favor of a younger brother, and Richard Barnfield lies today in an unmarked grave. His poetry continues to delight and amaze readers.
