My Heaven, Part 3

Quaker phone worship,

On mute as my son plays hard.

I see God in both.

Thanks for Reading! Be Blessed!

I Hope…

That my path may hold true,

That my eyes may see through,

That my hands may make do,

That my heart be made new.

My Heaven, Part 2

My baby boy sings,

And the lit monitor rings,

As Heaven appears.

Thanks for Reading! Be Blessed!

My Heaven,

A cup of coffee,

The Sun lifting up her gaze.

Here is my Heaven.

Naked Limbs

Naked limbs caress the air

As sunlight lingers warm and fair

Upon the sleepy, waking Earth

As she prepares another birth.

Thanks for Reading! Be Blessed!

A Broken Prayer

Touch my heart and make it whole.

Help me yield up all control.

I haven’t strength to keep the pace

I started in this lonely place.

Open up my eyes and ears,

Ease my doubts and biased fears,

That I may finally be free

To live and Love humanity.

Thanks for Reading! Be Blessed!

What Foundation

What gives you Life in times of strife?

Where is comfort found when trials abound

And enemies are gathered ’round?

What foundation brings consolation

And helps you stand against temptation?

Seek it. Find it. Know it. Mind it.

To your hand and forehead bind it.

Thanks for Reading! Be Blessed!

In Season

Consider the clouds,

Bringing water, shade, and cold,

Each in their season.

Thanks for Reading! Be Blessed!

Unspeakable Awe

There are no words that can suitably hold

Nor words with which can be suitably told

The wild and blissful and harrowing story

Of Life and its pain and its sorrow and glory.

All speech and all grasping will utterly fail

To tell of my own insignificant tale.

How much more should we stand in unspeakable awe

Of the unified whole into which we are drawn!

Thanks for Reading! Be Blessed!

Path Be Dark

Though path be dark and home be far,

Practice “grateful” where you are.

The road may not be clear ahead,

So simply follow where you’re lead

By the Quiet Voice within

That sings beneath the worldly din.

Though path be dark and home be far,

Hold fast to your Inner Star.

Follow Her to where She sets.

The journey isn’t over yet.
