religion often feels
old fashioned and stale
the wise are wary
unless the lesson is fresh
...
some religious people
seem preoccupied with us
as sinners
...
I learned two lessons
A long time ago
From those near death -
Not yet their time to go.
...
So much waiting:
in lines at the store,
in rush hour traffic.
Wait! There's more.
...
Mistakes small
Mistakes large
Those of the heart
Are hard to dodge
...
mistakes of the heart
replayed by the mind
an unrelenting dart
irritating burr in the soul
...
Praise the morning!
When life resumes fresh
The days behind are gone
Dead - past - done
...
