Is It Possible ~

forgiveness

is the answer

to the child's dream

 of a miracle

by which

what is broken

 is made whole again

what is soiled

is made clean again

may the

child in your heart

remember

the joy

of the dandelion's

humble beauty

before

you were advised

that

it was a weed

Take Time ~

Nobody sees a flower

really

 it is so small

 

it takes

time

 we haven't time

and to see

takes time

like to have a friend

takes time.

A Little Daydream ~

spring

with

her illusive ways

 beckons hope

and

hope responds

 with

gentle light

and then

she

leaves

a hint of

verdurous dreams

curse not the king

no not in

your thought

and curse not

the rich

in your bedchamber

for a 

bird of the air

shall carry the voice

and that which has wings

shall tell the matter

Ecclesiastes 10:20

The Coffee Told ~

{late 1980's}
it was the coffee
at the
first beginnings
of her day

and at their closures
and all the
in-between times

"piping hot"
"furiously boiling"

for dawnings and settings
for refreshing and leisure
in rejoicing and comfort
in light and darkness
in joy and sorrow
in friendship

it was
the coffee splattered
the cup now shattered
the body stroked

it was the coffee
 that no longer
mattered
that told

her time was ebbing
shortened

"Can I go home now?"
were her words
softly spoken

a yes was whispered
in a voice
not quite my own

her race run well
run extraordinarily well
the standard set

the coffee told
~ ~ ~
my mother passed away
on May 9, 2003 at the age of 92
she was my mother first
friend second
confidante extraordinaire
 standard bearer
constant in season and out of season
 and so much
more than words can say
~ ~ ~
the twinkle in her eyes
her quiet voice
her determination throughout
her gentle grace
 so missed
~ ~
may your week-end
be blessed
with
grace and favor

Temptations ~

temptations offer more
than

they deliver

unless

of course

it's dessert

in which case

the gain

can be
quite substantial

Music To My Ears ~

Yet 

the Lord

will command

His loving-kindness

in the daytime

and

in the night

His song

shall be with me

a prayer

to the God of my life

Psalm 42:8

"Signs" of Spring ~

the

frost boils

are plentiful and deep

the shoulders

are

soft and sometimes

non-existent

 {click to enlarge}
but

it's all good

{Glory-of-the-Snow}

like this little plant

the glory spreads

as time

passes

and

all

will be well

just

more signs

of

a 

new season
