Your Door: A Poem to My Son
Such is the challenge
To behold a door
To sense all it leads to
While not grieving more
To know if it’s opened
The Divine has willed
To praise, when it’s closed
His providence, still
Forth, amble with purpose
Or wait night and day
But ask for The Blessing
God’s presence, to stay
Under the Sun: A Haiku
Nothing here is new
My heart, His art — all shattered
Hope-filled pieces, still
Liquid Heat
Oxygen, I
Afire, you
Particular particulate matter, we
Your grey-green eyes, my green, green eyes
This was all that mattered
Dissipated, now
Why
Science and God refuse to explain
Sacred Act: A Haiku
Please be a balance
Of God’s mercy and justice
His soft and His strong
More Sure

Perseus & Me: A Haiku
Closed my eyes to see
Broad daylight, which God ordained
That mystified me
605 Nights
Too many nights
Tonight finally was
Begging God
Which He warns us against
But He loves you, so
Just this one last time….
Bring him back
I love him unending
Bid him tell me why
I was not worth a goodbye
The mirror becomes exhausted seeing your broken heartedness
605 nights
You finally break your own heart enough to tell yourself
I love you, Lisa
Say that instead
Such words do not feel so difficult or surprising afterall
And you believe it
You stay out there
