See the azure ‘nigh?
Life has shown me it’s called Hope
It’s what guides me home

Old Faithful: A Haiku
Not Pie
Act we, as if
Our piece of pie space
Our map-dot place
Is all there is
Defend it furiously
Argue to exhaustion
With a wrongful righteousness
Then wither with its fruit
But what when
We turn and take notice
God’s graced us with abundance
Its seeds to sow?
Stopped
What problem?
Lord knows
We were fed and safe and tucked in at night, with somewhere to go in the morning
The air was magic
Man, was the air magic
For us, at least — which was the problem
The laughter spilled
Our future felt filled
It was all more than we could ask for
And we didn’t have to ask — which was the problem
We didn’t ask whether they could spell magic
Whether laughter flowed from their windows
Were their futures filled?
Were their babies and boys and men fed and safe and tucked in at night, with somewhere to go in the morning?
Lord knows
And that’s our problem
boy
Neither a nurturer
Nor a ‘til-the-end friend
Wasn’t a warrior
Just a walk-away-er
Giant, silent chaos-creator
Truth-debater
Left the City for the farm
Shallow, self-indulgent charm
The countdown’s begun
He’s long gone…and was always gonna run
Where There’s Fire
Would sunrise rush
To us — help the hero within
Here, we, with sight
Need
Still a glimmer, to see
This horizon, this friend

A Tale of Two Days
I stare out windows a lot. I notice. I pray. I pray today that today wasn’t some mistake.
“Pray With Me: A Haiku”
Don’t reverse daybreak
The light in our eyes called Hope
Energize our prayers

“Peek”
Describe a man who has positively impacted your life.
A man who has positively impacted my life is the One who has given me eternal life: Jesus, fully God and fully Man.
“Peek”
It’s Heaven, I’m told
Paths of truth veined with gold
Sudden grandeur that stops you, cold
No next shoe set to drop — breath on hold
Poetry, penned, directly for me
Affinity
A kind of kindness that makes man’s soul free
It’s Heaven I see
Mt. Denali, July 2016
des instructions: a haiku
to sleep well at night
dine upon fallacy soup
decline just deserts
Right Here
We are told to light a candle
We are told to say a prayer
Walk in blueness in the morning
And pretend grief brings no cares
Let’s proclaim we are the candle
Let’s proclaim we are the prayer
May the hardships become blessings
When we tread together there

Time, Of Course
What’s the coolest thing you’ve ever found (and kept)?
There is the clock
There is the teardrop
Resting quietly atop my cheek
Daring this hour
Refusing to fall
Refusing to accept gravity
As if to remind me I am brave
And to encourage my tenderness
What happened, God can tell
What else remains, but to embrace each minute
Walk beyond the years
Since you’ve gone?
