Riding the Updraft

Riding the Updraft They shall mount up with wings as eagles... A golden eagle buffeted by the pounding rain bullets and crashing wind, Bending and hurting my wings Eyes searching for any escape Losing altitude, Spiraling downwards I will follow Christian instruction and wait-- For an updraft...

Trust God in the Mist

Trust God in the Mist Trust God in the heavy, low-lying mist Beautiful, gossamer low- lying clouds for a second That suddenly vanish and shift Great angels and prosperity That never seem worth the risk Or turn into frightening Gothic images That rave and wail and hiss When only fleeting images are...

Pearled Fan Mosaic Sunset

Pearled Fan Mosaic Sunset Watching the sky The clouds form in an oblique circle That seems to fan out around the pale white sun In silvery white tones, layers of white clouds lined with silver Silver mist half covers the shining white sun half down towards the horizon I have never seen such a sunset...

Shapeshifting Cloud

Shapeshifting Cloud Another day when I go to the pool to lay out The storm clouds start forming around There is a light blue patch in the middle to the left And what do I see But a shapeshifting cloud, First it is a clear, long skull encased in flames Looking dapper in it's own way -- Then it comes...

Striped Sky

Striped Sky The late afternoon sky is half striped Half is sunset, half is striped with white Periwinkle Blue with long pearled white stripes Running through All along the horizon To the top of the sky-- Let there be a flamboyant tribute Through the sky, white and blue To those who have seen through...

Shell Fantastic

Shell Fantastic A beautiful pattern that starts in the middle And circles out in swirl after swirl-- Mesmerizing A peachy pink design swirled with pearl white In graceful, concentric circles Until the last largest pearly circle Completes a gorgeous shell On the moist little grey creature That creeps...

Appeal from Selene

Appeal from Selene Get the four steeds charged up Go riding down through the stars Diagonal in front of the moon Appeal to any who will join This charge from the heights Down to the depths To Clash with the secret Babylonian Clan -- Can my enlightened side win against their scowling Against those...

In Anticipation of Thanksgiving

In Anticipation of Thanksgiving My falsely cheerful thoughts of a previous Thanksgiving have been removed Yet I am thankful for anything I still have, I will not bother myself with a long trip Making a pathetic effort to love dull, burnt out colors And drying trees, Trying to enjoy the car music...

All Saints Day

All Saints Day Ironic how All Saints Day comes after Halloween The dark followed by the light Though not Catholic but of the same faith, There is a feeling to call on the Saints And see if any can help In this chaotic and dismal situation When they experienced similar trials And tribulations, Let me...

Happy Halloween Howling Zombies

Happy Halloween Howling Zombies All through my illness and pain Your horror threats and howling were insane I thought several times I must be delirious and paranoid Until you kept making your multitudinous public attacks Then I figured it out, As I have a thousand times, You have me too poor to make...
