The Soul in Me
Do you ever see wild animals?
I ran in the middle of Alaska snow
As long as I ran I did not know
There were always a wild creature
Soon waiting for me .
It could have been a moose who looked
As I ran by and turned and took
Another way always seemed best
Among the snow and quiet unrest
A moose is kind but unafraid
And has chased after me, many a day
Then there were the large ravens flight
Who ran and skipped and flew in-spite
Of seeing me just ahead
and never reasoned never dread
A red fox came by once and peeked
Then on his way with his swift feet
Snow brown bear in the distance
Bison’s caught some resistance .
If you venture to go running in Alaska terrain
Be prepared for anything from snow to rain
Embracing Darkness: A Journey Through Advent
Just sit with me in the darkness
As Advent moves in.
You do not have to fix it,
Please, just listen in our silence.
Just sit with me,
in the darkness.

Because someone sat with me,
I was ok,
the darkness soon faded away.
