Who would cross that ridge
And not recognize heaven
Who’d not worship there
Now & Tomorrow
I pretend
My friend
Is the light source
Streaking eastward
Just before dusk
Hoping to grab
My hand
And bring me along
Into tomorrow
Even At Lunch
Is there any way
You would read to me
Every day
Sit me down any where
Speaking with passion understood
Every where
Your words pausing any place
Literary style demands
Every time
You may choose any book
My ears adore
Every genre
Two Silver Keys: A Haiku
Leather-Bound Book
He walks as the beginning of a book
And an epic message that greets -permeating the future
Invisible ink for now
She takes hold of the leather-bound book
And all but the cover is blank -a fine hello, but what next
Picking up pen, exhaling a smile
more blessings
Judge Not
Out
And all over the place
Jesus
What a mess you’ve to clean
Yet there down at My feet
On the ground
Dirtying your white with the bloody, brokenness of my heart
You are
Picking carefully up, dutifully up
Each piece, one after the next
Defending me against the mess
I’ve allowed
Asking me against my better judgement
That I always allow
That I forever leave
My heart
Out
And all over the place
Fated
At all hours
I seek the horizon
I was fated for
I touch the light lingering there
But what is this
The pause before you burst forth
Or the looking back
On your way to tomorrow
And my name is tonight
