Storm
Natural barrows among the timbers carry the fruit of the earth into moving rivers. Downstream the rocks collect the access, leaving treasures untold for searching hands among mystery's flow. There is a ritual only nature knows transforming seasons, and landscapes, poetry into art. Rains and winds,...

Never Thirst Again
The breeze speaks of promise through birdsong and sunlight basked tree branches swaying to symphonic choruses and healing hymns. I sit by an open window, gently caressed by morning's promise in green shadows and yellow daisy smiles. The voice of inner truth always speaks from this quiet place....

Ebenezer
"Stone of Help" I raise my heart, to the mountain where the holiness of presence resides in a fire, a bush, the sacred light. Gratefulness, the ebenezer of a quiet soul, in rest from a life once wild in shadow falls. My stone of help a man from Galillee stripped of all divinity and hung in shame; an...

Until
Sweet breath of Heaven, warming me to my core; angel wings folding into hands of prayer; silent sadness dissolving with streams of calming waters. Bright golden beams rising towards an open stairway ascending. Find me in a white robe with kindness and compassion like stones and precious jewels. I’ll...

At dusk
I see Your eyes in distant wrinkles of dusk staring through me with outstretched dream. I want to be held in the cross of Your heart where blood and spirit take hold and possess like a martyr’s faithfulness. But the night is close by and I fight unseen forces. I’m cut by blades of separation. You...

On High
Clouds in a soft-smoked veil assemble to worship at the mountaintop. In silence they move in unison to a plateau of light streaming from the sun. In majesty of marvel, all things are at His command. Tree tops bow when necessary or lift their branches in praise at dawn. O, that man would learn the...

Resurrecting the Dead
Sometimes we revisit old worlds, crack open the skulls of painful memories, then party on the grave of zombies by reinventing what really happened. Rewriting history only gathers more cobwebs. Truth always resurfaces until we are honest with our skeletons. To bury the old life, one must embrace the...

Nature’s Veranda
Light in a thousand leaves sparkling light bulbs in nature’s multi-colored veranda. Magical feel of sudden inspiration with every branch swaying to an unseen mastro’s hands. The musical feel of wind and forest, a chorus of participation in action. I sit back in awe at the oneness of time in tempo,...

Glow of Radiance
In the dark of night when the gifts of stars take their path of mystery across the sky, Your words are all-blooming directing the heart to a higher sense of life. Indigo sky lit with all things past and present. I look at yesterday, not knowing if the star is still alive. In me, all things recalled...

Observer (Written last Autumn)
Dark morning prophesying rain. Everything is still, like a quiet casket at graveside, during prayer. Forest green painted against an unknown color. Not quite gray, not quite brown. I cannot describe the tree bark in this light. The color is more like a feeling, ominous, eerie, All Hallow’s Eve...
