I ran this morning
On ice and snow
The trees glisten
The ice fairies glow
I hear the geese
Sound celebration
The storm is gone
Now jubilation
As I crunched
My shoes as I run
I looked up to see
A heart shaped sun

Looking in the Pages
Looking through pages
the freedom of the past.
Before the virus
came so fast.
It will be gone;
just hope and pray.
It won’t be long
we will see a new day.

Being Alive
a step , a footing,
A distance, each day we strive
By being alive …
Picking up the gauntlet’s throw
Taking on the archer’s bow .

Morning
I woke
A morning pulls me to go out of doors
And stand among the cosmos
To allow the lights to christen
Into promise, will I be witness?
God is listening,
The universe displays his breath.
Shhh, it says,
Pray.

Flowers sent today
Valentine’s a sweet array
Swells the aroma
Of today’s remembrance
Echoes of Shakespeare’s semblance.

Unaware
we will both grow old,
our youth wasted in time
rusted planks of life
jutting out
feeling the days gone past
looking for a sign
we will understand how
little time we tout
until now, we look and see
our hands and body weathered
I will smile and feel the
glow of our youth
even though the shifts
are tethered

Just Before
Tempest ages of tales from lofts
of organs and replicas of saints.
Covered icons to express a time
quiet memories of prayers unsaid.
Whispered among the pews of
the faithful few, wanting …
humanity is deafened to creation.
Signs and wonders are fewer
as ages of hopeful hopeless.
Crossing always into a river of regret
it never matters if we are aware.
It is who we are as oneness,
it is who we are as togetherness
from the beginning, to the recognition
just before, just before the river of regret.
