Raymond A Foss Poems

A momentary blip,
a bump on the road of life
hit us again today, as it has
...

No hothouse rose
Is She
No even color
...

What was it that the daily reflection asked?
Oh yeah, it was, "If you were set down beside
the carriage of the Ethiopian, what would you ask?"
His response was priceless,
...

A discovery in the boxed memories
forgotten history of childhood,
adolescence, years gone by
...

How do you beach?
Sorry, don't want to get
Too personal
...

Like a second layer of skin is her faith
right out there, the outer edge of her
exuding from her pores, from her being
...

The words of our prayer
meaningful in the context of our worship today
the charge for the congregation, for each of our hearts
...

The tempter, the betrayer
the powerful in their houses
bringing the prophecy
...

Little vultures, circling over their fresh prey
waiting not so patiently, swooping down
and back, because they weren't yet ready
...

Outside my closed window
the cold winds howling
a palpable reminding
...
