It comes in light gusts of relief
where prayer needs no voice,
no thoughts... it's just a part of you
...

Sharp new challenges
Space brightens and more defined
Less shilly-shally
...

when truth is smothered
compassion is not absent
separate views twist
...

Scattering the light
Projecting the negative
Representation
...

A sudden awareness
and everything makes sense
scary and wonderful
vulnerable
...

Of course knowing one hill over
may be in rhyme

and it's not to say
...

Spring is here again
We all wait for the first blades to come to light
while regrets are the worms that squirm through the soil
until Heaven does give its Dew, and the robins tug them away.
...

'twas the night before carols
and all through the halls,
the season's silence was ending,
once and for all.
...

...

Prepare!
I've spied a weasel in a den
seeking, collecting fault and flaw
to eat a mouse who wanders in
...

Splash of self-sacrifice
from the first leaning, where it is wished
for not a drop to give
yet drip, the water ripples,
...

A belly full of berries and insects
(it's 'flat out like a lizard drinking')
and then a basking under the warmth of the sun
...

Black-Capped Chickadee

snug dreams deep in the evergreens
of soft trills and bright berry sap returning
...

In His Time
There will be motion
or the edge of still waters
...

In the Highest of Heaven
and upon cloaks of many
may the Lord call forth his praise
and offer a place that is almost windless
...

grace
sufficient
power in weakness
power of Christ
...

highest waves

grace and guidance
Protector of faith
...
