Poem

We see what we want to see,

we hear the sounds we want to hear,

Listen closely to the way the earth

dances with the flowers…

The symphony of the atmosphere

Birthday Stack

The stack went high
So high in the sky
The candles glowed
And went on and on
The special way
I started my day
With Mom and Dad
And siblings too
The glitter and gleam
Reflected in me
As the dreams for the day
Go as far as I can see.

Her faithful wish each day

her green socks and pink sparkle shoes

Would always stay

On her feet looking down

She would see magic in her green socks

And sparkles all around

Her Mom would ask

Let’s take the shoes off for a while

It will help them last

The Princess looked away

Very surprised and shook her head

” no, thank you , not today”

As a writer sees

A book in front of me

I pour into emptiness

Out here where woodpeckers

Vibrate in the distant trees

Song birds my symphony

the birds wake with song

Cold still air lingers morning crest

Runner 🏃‍♀️ does her best .

3rd Sunday of Advent

I remember “All Souls’ Day” with a song I wrote.

Dark and bleak the days become

Mother and child still are one.

They seek a shelter for the night

against the cold weather’s fright

A shed, a stable they find by grace

In the night their stay finds pace

to labor pains inside the shed

Labor and love defies world’s dread

where infant cries break the sounds

all kings and shepherds seek to surround

as star reflects hope and the son

God enters the world among

on this our Christmas Day…
