Life is
As a flower—
Folding and unfolding,
Blossoming and blooming to full
...
The sky’s beset and overcast—
Misty, melancholy and gray
There’s a sound of rolling thunder
Precipitation’s on the way.
...
In stark silence, the
Ticking sound of the clock made
Me ever aware
Of the fleeting moments of

In troubles, faith seems
To grow deeper, as one is
Compelled by that which
Is seen to rely upon

Seems like a dream, but I know that it's true
For we mere mortals do not have a clue.
‘Tho I can't tell all the beauty it holds

Fathomless the pain
In the wake of life's duress-
Amidst all the hurt
And undue brokenness.

And never seem
To go away.

Country, state and town.
Our family and friends.
And life all around—

There was a rabbit that had no home;
Such hopping soul could only roam.
Where ever he’d pass,
He'd eat of the grass.
