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
