BUTTERFLIGHT

Transubstantiate, metamorphose

Jesus miracles water into wine

Merciful rain turns

to grapes violet upon

the vine

and the communion giver

turns that wine into

Jesus' blood

as willow trees are

born of flood

as acorn becomes oak

and kernel the corn

and the love of a father

in forlorn child reborn

and Tolstoy's ink

becomes Sathyagraha

which Gandhi thinks

and the murdered pig's

fat candle becomes

sacred enkindling flame

and the manure pile

becomes the pink rose

and moon's night

becomes sun's light

and crawling worms

become butterflight

So does the Holy Spirit Dove

turn anger into Love

and make us One with

OUR GOD who is Love

HEART PAIN



The heart pain cut

from body left a hole

a stencil which paradoxically

heals other hearts to whole



ICE CHALICE



Inside the chalice

formed of ice

bubble up

the drops of spring.

Soon they will melt

their confining holy grail.

Soon they will

rend

the crystalline veil.



(transforming the veil

into the flow)



ALL WORKS FOR GOOD



through the stained glass

windows were thrown

by rebellious boys

glass breaking stone



and through the

new apertures poured

unfiltered radiant

light from the Lord



BOUGH NEED NOT BREAK



the bough need not break

for the cradle acorn to fall

.. the cradle shell which

blankets the omnipotent oak seed



WINGS OF DAWN



The wings of night

shroud the light

with shadow

and shade

but the wings of dawn

the shadow shred

the shade do shed



MAKE STRAIGHT THE WAY



Detachment's razor

Forgiving's eraser

sometimes precede

the Resurrector

.. the Raiser
