Elephant Tents

Folder: 
Love

At the missions in the mornings..

they are patient..

with elephants.. for

they know.. that folding elephant tents..

takes

a little longer.



(to the saints of the Salvation Army

who shelter the infirm, the aged, the rejected)



FOOTPRINTS IN THE SNOW



footprints in snow  

melt away in sun's glow



gone are sandcastles ephemeral

in waverolls eternal



iceberg turrets and spires

also disappear with sol's fire



cloud patterns have vanished

by their own giving banished





only Love remains

only God remains

only All remains




Author's Notes/Comments: 

General Bramwell Booth
of the Salvation Army
treated alcoholism
with vegetarian diet.
The success of this
program spread the SA
around the world.
Biochemists now find
that the yin of alcohol
and the yang of mammal
flesh.. crave each other.
Vegan alcoholic is
an oxymoron.
