Morning Moons

Lighting the path beyond,

the moon leans toward a fate larger than death,

the eastern sun bullied by looming clouds of day.

Life speaks daily in the rise and fall

hope wrapped in even the darkest morn.

Chill

A Great Lakes second winter comes with a chill

as leaves skip and fly across hop scotched grass

with the whistle of ones waving from the tree top

swinging between sun and shade

in want of spring’s rebirth

so full and drunk with salvation

Epiphany

Words divide the sides,

felt and heard without soul or face.

Life though breathes

embodied now

Epiphany

traveled in foreign lands

beyond lines and limits

under stars out of reach

while love divine walks close.

Saved

in the light of un-stained glass.

I count my breath to calm my spirit with

doors closing and hushed children.

Invocation then

to dreams and freedom

away from pretense and prose,

Amen.

Awakening

I woke to rolling thunder, exploding heat

clouds exhausted in felled surrender

and at my feet the ground gave way

in one deep breath a thousand sighs

the miracle I know as summer rain.
