If you started a sports team, what would the colors and mascot be?
I once co-organized a sports team and our colors were iridescent — shifting from rosé to blue. Our mascot was a mystery.
“What time is it?” I dared not ask — for, the shadow was skulking in fit
“How much will this cost?” the shadow’d demand — never once seeing all that I’d lost
Across the horizons of vintage floorboards, the Sun still shines, happily
Time over there and Loss over here, each our own cheerleader, sadly
Just before sunrise
The firmament feels nearer
‘Tis a mystery….
Luke 8:10 “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God….”

I wanted the mystery
I’m not the only one
It’s still there, waiting
And it never runs
Nor tries to hide
So I spy
Sometimes unintentionally
With my little hoping eye
And see
Intrigue smile at me — what glee!
Thankful for such prophecy
This jubilant rush
Calls with none notice
And we run…and we see
Magnificat unlocked

Closed my eyes to see
Broad daylight, which God ordained
That mystified me
We must sit alone through This
What if when I die
The mystery of your soul
Is unsolved by mine
Ev’ry step a mysteryOf intuition
Be most confident of this
You know what you know 
Blond BMX brat
I wrote him a mystery
The first boy I went crazy for
I don’t know what for
Day after day did I watch
From my window
My letter in his hands
I wonder what I said
Perhaps it was just my gesture
Each day he pedaled faster
I heard him finally take a guess
He had hope in his voice, or disbelief
