spring essential


Arise from bed on cue of dawn to don two shoes  

with pep in your step jump feet first into spring

not too far or you'll breeze right on by

the blue summer sky that cries as it’s past over

then free fall to see fall and land

as the bare assessor to see

two shoes sans accessory

my Lot

My Jesus, My Lord.  Am I destined for hell? Your taste extremely bitter, Intoxicating fragrance can’t smell.   You’re without sin but I wallow in it. I’m the black sheep of the flock in more ways than one.   A man that loves men, that’s what I am.   This you already know as part of your plan.   I must be myself, the best that I can.   When among  others, idly we talk.  Not gospel of song but gossip of rot.   I ponder O Lord, what’s to be my Lot?   Enter a fiery furnace that eradicates me?   Like Judas Iscariot, disgraced and hung in a tree?   Or be the woman at the well that you set free?   Will I become a violent Hitler or a peaceful Ghandi?   I must be myself, the best that I can.  © David Girard 25/03/15

Left Port

If right is right what’s left is to fight. This right biased world can be very unfair To the ten percent of us that do not share  The desire for starboard when we just left port. Way out in left field? Perhaps I could be as conformity bleeds abnormal for me. © David Girard 29/03/15

The Apiary (Plight of the Humble Bees)

Dew you know, of this wee place? It Bee BeeQueen, Fairhaven and Pleasant Hill, Bee Meadowgreen? In nature’s lea may Bee a scene. An active hive, so it seems! Do not be duped, for you must see! Look past the expanse of humanity. Is there a problem? There may not Bee. ‘Trust in God’ and you will see! Fruits borne of labor. The apiary. Beehold a lass toiling hard, Bee side the Bees in her backyard. Her grunts and groans are not alone. A harmonic symphony with the drones! What to name this harvest gold? Something new?  Invoke the auld? Will it be witty?  Will it rhyme? Will it stand the test of time? The dilemma therein is what to call The honey held so dear by all. Is there a problem? There may not Bee. ‘Trust in God’ and you will see! Fruits borne of labor. The apiary. ©-David Girard- -25/10/11-
