Morning Lights
Hanging just above
Mystic dawning caught my eye.
Lights across horizon ride .

Wassail (In Honor of the 12th Night)

Pour a glass of wassail
pass them one by one
from the elderly at the table
to even the youngest one.
Say a prayer of thanksgiving
remember those who are gone
pray for the future that is coming
Do not forget a one
Pour a glass of wassail
Do not forget the sick and lame
Drink up with all the promises
that the good life stays the same.

Pandemic
Two years had passed,
absence of a son
not allowed to travel
not allowed to be seen.
The day had finally come
when I could travel
to see him.
The fall of relief
felt like gravity
swept through my soul.
I then let go…
