BIRDBRAIN
They called the weathervane
a scattered birdbrain
because the Wind Of Spirit
moved her in His train
HEART CHALICES
Father Mother God
we beg You today
to drink to the full
the heart
chalices in every creature
.. chalices You have
filled with pain.
QUICK MELT WITHOUT FLOOD
Only God can bring the sun
quickly to a snowcovered
freezing land.. without
flooding.
.
FRONDPRINTS
No matter how high
it climbs
the mountain ash
finds
he cannot stamp his
frondprints of green hue
upon the sky of spiritblue
THANKSGIVING
Turkeys
gave thanks in November
to vegetarians.
CRUNCHING SNOW
We do not have the infinite
factors necessay to
judge. One day
those who dutifully
shoveled their walks
unwittingly later
left a surface of ice
whereas those
who neglected
to shovel
left a safe place
to walk in
the crunching snow.
MOTHER POLAR BEAR
the mother bear
is not cold
to her friends
or her own fold

DREAMS
Dreams are
messages in a bottle
washed upon our shores
from the ocean of God
They are
script of the night
seeded by angels

to earth
