thank you Lord
for daytimes
thank you Lord
for night
thank you Lord
for all those
who guide me to
the right.
…….
thank you Lord
for lovers
thank you Lord
for sons
thank you Lord
for daughters
and all my Father’s
ones.
…….
thank you Lord
for countries
for lands
and sites of home
thank you Lord
for comings
when work and toils
are done.

afternoon nap soothes
heart, soul, body
even as the day goes
on
the mind shutting off
consciousness to
focus
on the heart song.

on keyboard.

fatigue hits suddenly.
crash out of time
built up
till the penny

and then you

the turn of an ankle
is a little miracle
beauty in an
instep
the grace of an
arch
and that doesn’t
count
all the wonders
they are
connected
to.

I have so many
clothes
STUFFING my
drawers
so full I have
to press
down
to fit them in
while people down
town wrap an
extra coat onto
their backs
just to carry around
what they own.
STOP my Christmas
presents.
HOLD BACK
the socks and
sweaters, the
one more pair
of jeans.
My need
is
to give it away.

It’s so cold
Hands itch to stop
The burn.
Lord where are you
Lord send someone
to save my life
One of those hands
Teresa said were
Christ’s
The only one’s He has
To make a difference
Here.
The cold, the
Cold…
Lord…

don’t tell that story
she says
it hurts my feelings.
but I don’t mean
anything by
it
people ask and I
think it’s
funny.
but it hurts my feelings.

red squirrel scurries
in the snow
nipping up kernels
dropped by the
birds
who flit and skitter
into the limbs above
lest some predator
notes
their presence.
