Spark from baker's oven
Set ablaze with hellish fury
Timbers dry from sweltering summer
House after house bursting into flame.
...
Always close to my heart
Support against engulfing waves
Sharing joys and grief
Strength when steps falter.
...
Almighty loving God, enthroned everywhere
I thank you for all the blessings in my life
Ask forgiveness for my grievous offending sins
Which are legion weighing heavy upon my soul.
...
We climbed a little hill, unsure afraid
Trembling in innocence
Naked. easy upon the grass
Exploring curiosity and naked desire.
...
When they
Hard as nails, hearts like iron
Filled my sleep with nightmares
Memories breaking all asunder
...
There was a heron
Standing beside a goldfish pond
Motionless and quiet
Eyeing darting fish
...
The world bank in America decided the poor of the world must pay for water. But water sources are drying up, lakes and rivers turning into deserts.
Man cannot live by bread alone
Water is more precious than gold
...
I shall not fear
The ebbing of the light
Nor dread the engulfing darkness.
