Strengthen
Love and guide me
Oh Lord, walk beside me
Hear me as I pray; be near me
...
Walk with me Jesus
Side by side me so I see
The world through your eyes
...
Almost
Winter solstice
A full cold moon fastens
Its grip while the nights become long
...
Departure’s silence.
Anonymity of age.
Beauty’s magnet gone.
...
Face lifted too tight
Bleached orange pallor; patina
Of moral decay
...
Whether bidden or
Not bidden, God is present
Here, now, among us
...
Be kind to your friends
Give your enemies their due
Leavened with justice
...
Water
Weeds
Water forms
Weeds in water
...
Sorrow for my sins
Saturates my soul, drowning
My spirit in tears
...
