Glen Kappy Poems

I got there
just before it closed
and checked out
the book of poetry
...

from 'Dreams and Visions'

As sun gently warms and dries
drips and drops still fall from rainspout
...

from 'Dreams and Visions'
to Gloria

In a dream last night
...

'And when they had sung a hymn…'
—Mark 14: 26a

You sang, Lord(!)
...

Because of what you have done
every dawn can be as this one—
as fresh, as clean, as full of expectancy and color.
...

A snatch of Mariachi music
as I pass a hotel window
summons tropical colors
of plants and clothes
...

I've been praying for friends and family passed
for their warm reception to God's eternal bosom
thinking of them as shadows of what they were.
...

A Monday morning. Early spring.
No work today—nor worries.
Setting out to walk three errands
he is greeted by a house finch singing.
...

from 'Dreams and Visions'

Free of the usual—
what it requires
...

Send strong winds, O God
and sweep away
the hatreds and the hurts.
