Orions this is such a beautiful poem I fixed the formatting so everyone could enjoy it as much as I did..Got any more to share..
Come ye stand upon the stile
We haven not dun this for awhile
Mount ye souls a midnight race
Run ‘n charge, a good knights chase
]Begin the run on a full moon
When we can all see to the doon
Horses hooves pound the faster
Heartbeat signal to the master
Round the castel to the wall
Holdfast riders will not fall
Reaching pasture, take the bend
Trust ye steed up to the end
Ford the creek ‘n jump the rock
Pass the Collie guarding flock
Feel the wind upon yer face
This we call a good knights chase
Take the cliff road to the shor
Feel the sand up to the moo
Throw the mud, feel the gushe
Trodden light about the rushes
Keep the canter, keep ye steady
Hold head high, spurs to the ready
Hit the road with lightning speed
Feel every muscle of thy steed
Once the banner comes to sight
Hold her mane with all yer might
Leap host scale high with all yer manner
Be first claim prize the waving standard
Gather all men to wooded mound
Brothern love be it abound
All in practice better the pace
And then we had a good knights chase!
Congratulations to your Daughter OrionsAngel, and all the best wishes to her for a fulfilling, challenging but most of all very Happy life. It can be a harsh world out there but I am sure with your love and guidance she will be more than up to the challenges ahead .
There is a place in the soul of man that transcends life. I was watching my cows this morning early. As dawn, in rose and lavender splendor, appeared, and the world came alive, the cows wandered from tuft of grass to tuft of grass, oblivious to the world around them. The chickens were already out and scratching and pecking. A couple of them were under the cows eating ticks that they could reach. I let my little dogs out for their morning run and bark. All were oblivious to the beauty of the morning. I think that what most separates man from the rest of the animal kingdom is the awareness of beauty. I know when my animals are happy and contented. I have yet to see that a cow looks at a flower as anything but edible vegetation. My Jack Russell Terriers seem to think that anything small that moves needs to be killed.
I have known people of similar intent. The world is to be used. If it can't generate a profit what good is it? The only reason to invest in art is for the capital gains. I sometimes think such people, with a dearth of art, music, glory in their lives are somehow crippled and are, in fact, less than they could be, if they would only allow a sunrise to awaken their soul

I come each day and am so blessed to read good Pastures messages..I also take time to "stop and smell the roses"..
Nothing puts me in closer contact with the creator than the beauty he surrounds me with each day as I awaken to the dawn whether it is to a wondrous sun just peeping over the mountaintops or a dark clouded sky slowly creeping ever nearer with a hint of a breeze stirring the leaves of the trees..At that moment a pleasant earthy smell of the forest floor comes to me as the first raindrops fall in the wooded mountain before..
That is how I awakened this morning and what greeted me from my deck as I enjoyed my first cup of coffee and smiled at the deer family on the old road above me as they made their morning way to the creek..I spoke to the creator and thanked him for a beautiful beginning of another day..
The awesome beauty of a thunderstorm coming over the mountains. This picture was taken just 10 minutes ago, just before the rains come and make the air sweet and fresh.
Aye, Thank ye all sooo much for your wishes! She is a great kid, she is tall, beautiful and confident. She is the typist in the family,hehe.. she also took 3 years of Spanish, so she will always have a translation career! She has entered herself into a small college, and like most of us, doesnt have a definate major in mind yet. She is hilarious! She is! We sat at Pizza hut watching the cars go by, and I saw 3 cops racing in tendem, I said to her, "oh look, Bobbies on a Barbie"! She said, "And they're in a Bustle"! She keeps up with me real well!! She has many friends because she is so human, and good to be with. I will let her know of your well wishes, and Thanks so much for caring!
Here's another of my poems )
]A King’s Ransom
By Karen( Moore) McK
3/4/09
A man ‘came a Knight
When allied in fight
For freedom a swift victory
He is granted his land
]For his right hand
At service for his majesty
He takes on the battle
And keepsakes the castle
His heart and soul never sleep
The battle took tenfold
Beaten down the stronghold
While screaming “they’ve captured our King”!
Knight brave at his shoulder
Rode fast pleading mercy
His heartbeat like swift Falconry
He tendered his son
For release of the one
Who’s blood would keep Scotia free
He paid for “the cause”
He made no pause
Dun all he could for his country!
Nice "after the rain" photo PTSUM , I caught a nice rainbow myself a couple weeks ago, 'twas refreshing!! The mountain flowers are all so beautiful right now, hope everyone gets up high for a Sunday drive this weekend! The Moose are out near the roads, so photography is prime. Honeysuckle just finished blooming, and Lilacs are going full aroma. Love this earth!!!
