wisdom

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 .

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.

Oh the volumes I could write .

Today I celebrated life!

Twilight crest after

midnight storm gives way to verdant

grass, and hope appears …

a full moon light shines

just in sight, reflecting on

sleeping Queen Anne’s Lace

A silent morning

Reflection of just being

Feeling the before

A wakeful glimpse

Into darkness that helps us

See past into the light

CMM @ 2018

autumnal Equinox gently arrives

warmth of the summer lost in the skies

Burnt orange and red are made of your dress

A sigh of relief now we will soon rest

From a summer of drought and too little rain

We will put it behind us; wait for seasons to change
