simple structures
speak of God
to my eyes
a flower happily sprouting 
alone in a desolate field
why even a rainy side walk
could be a lovely disguise
a perfect oil rainbow
upon the pavement
of my mechanic's uneven
parking lot just today
brought a smile to my eyes
even in the rest room at
a local grocery store
I was tenderly reminded
by of all things
graffiti on the wall
written in glaring green neon ink
* GOD LOVES YOU MORE THAN YOU COULD EVER REALIZE*
tears lightly touched my eyes
as I sat there with my jeans at my knees
I felt utterly blessed for the many blessings
and then I looked down to find a 1932
wheat penny
(my mother's birth year)
so many loving little messages
God had given me that day
I am blessed with every breath I breathe
peace sneaks in even while we are having
one of our little tantrums
and watches the silly show and exits
with notes in hand
I wonder how many moments of gentle peace
came to visit with me that I missed
because I was too wrapped up in this or that
latest 'Fraudulent Reality'
fighting with myself or someone else yet again
the mercy of forgiveness
blessedly speaks to me
God in all his splendid wonder
offers his every child
redemption at every possible
spin of that wheel opportunity............
