CATCH A FIRE IN THE
SKY WITH WATER
Catch a fire in the sky
with water.
Catch sun father
with liquid daughter.
Water is not the foe
of fire.
Together rainbows they
do sire.
(to Democrat Brian Williams and
his wife)
SUN ARRAYS HIMSELF
Over the lip of the earth
broke into night the sun.
A little cloud
.. a baby herald
ran and told everyone.
Each little cloud seemed to
catch the sun
and to steal his homerun.
But as they were later
rained away, we knew
his ball has gone
further than anyone's.
Himself sun arrays
in His own rays
and as He arises
and all birds He arouses
His rays are of
pink and purple and rose.
(to MBC of Columbus)
OBEDIENT ANGELS
Angels are obedient
to our wishes.
They are genies
in the bottles of
our hearts,
waiting to be prayed
into appearing..
waiting to
make concrete
our deepest desires.
DESIRE IS DESTINY
The foghorn sounds in the mysterious
mists.. a lonely call for his mate.
The train whistles
beckon to our desire which is our destiny.
The sea sings to the shore.
In Siberia snow falls soundlessly.
In a world beyond time
horses' hooves on cobbled stones,
the crash of the cataract,
the boom of the ocean,
the cheerful babbling of the brook,
.. the first trill of absolute joy
from a predawn bird.. a trill
All are joyswords to
Dracula's night curtains.
First and last, God is in our
ears.
