sitting here
waiting
laying under this
black velvet canopy
falling deeper into
night
to wish upon a falling star?
all the while
unaware
of the Moon bathing us
in the fullness of Her love
as we sleep
sitting here
waiting
laying under this
black velvet canopy
falling deeper into
night
to wish upon a falling star?
all the while
unaware
of the Moon bathing us
in the fullness of Her love
as we sleep
thankful for Life’s little trips
i woke up this morning
and
fell in Love all over again
socialism?
capitalism?
progressive or liberal?
perhaps, conservative?
drop the titles and judgments, friends.
the job is simple actually…
i’ll spell it out, from my heart.
clothe the poor
feed the hungry
and
give drink to the thirsty.
and if you still have room to complain or judge, think on these gems…
if someone hits you,
go ahead – turn the other cheek.
if someone asks for your coat,
hey – offer them your shirt as well.
get your walkin’ shoes ready,
cuz if the request is made – walk an extra mile.
i think these little nuggets of God’s heart will keep our lives busy enough…but then again, it is easier just to do what we’ve been doing isn’t it?
i yearn for so much more than
this postcard love
sometimes i just feel like shouting:
HEY YOU!
this heart is an open house
settle on in
and
make yourself at home
today new additions
arrived
a goldfish
and
two hermit crabs
“kermit crabs”
from the mouth of my nephew
so now we have ~
a tortoise…named Turtle
a cat
three dogs
two kermit crabs
and a goldfish
not to forget
the family of humming birds
attending to the feeder
out back
or the many
many spiders who have
apparently
decided living with humans
is
the choicest of habitats
i love it!
all these faces of God
for my nephew
to learn to love
today some friends
spoke of heartbreak
as if it were
some horrible thing
and i thought,
how can this be true?
i think of my life as
quite beautiful
and i have never known
a day without it
funny thing, waiting.
filled with so much not-knowing.
so, we just wait.
so, we just wait.
filled with so much not-knowing.
funny thing, waiting.
today i died a thousand times
in contemplating your love
like a thousand suns in feverish passion
burning to their end
i died
and the world was blinded
in the wake of our union
smiles and tears everywhere
i found myself
missing you today
which is certainly
ridiculous
because when i opened
my heart
i saw
it is there you have been
all along
beneath this blanket
of night
below countless suns
i stand in your Presence
thoughtless
motionless
we arrive
together
meeting, perhaps
as we always
have
in Love
filled with Life
i stand
knowing nothing
in perfect stillness
in a harmonic dance
with Peace
and my voice
joins with Yours
as we sing
“it is good”
