A Still Place

In the distance
A early morning howl
Waking the crickets
As the full moons hides
Yard dog starts to bark
A silhouette in the clouds
A dinosaur chases a wolf
A storm ushers a day
Of spring …

Morning
I jaunt in the morning moon
My thoughts are miles away
I give up way too soon
So I can start my day
But I will always be
Jaunting again tomorrow .

Nativity

Summoned under night
The refuge of the soul
Born just out of sight
Labored into hope
Carried on beast and straw
Promises to cope
Rich kings attend
To peer at wonder
As angels ascend
A dark cold crib
Stones for shelter
A mother’s bib
Breath of life
Cattle’s lullaby
Humanity’s strife
The word drawn
Near into promise

Red Truck

It caught my eye,
I could not see
the spirit of Christmas
was all over me .
I wondered why
and kept starring long.
As I heard a song,
the song was soft
and rode in on the snow.
It followed the wind
it was then I would know.
Christmas in the night
close but out of sight
we try to understand
a Christmas of love
swept through the land .
Red truck stood still
The dog did not bark
And the snow fell
Right before dark

The Change
Blackeye peas
autumn breeze
rocking chair keeping pace
The sky has turned gray
the quietness of the day
calls the season’s race
I listen to know
It will soon start to snow
Winter will take its place.

The Leaves

Fall growing up,
we mostly looked down;
leaves shuffling around.
The colors of our coat
matched the colors blowing
as the wind chilled before snowing.
Somehow the wrapping circles of
the wind would play under our feet.
Captivated for a while it was an autumn treat .
