You are not, will not, do not what you
dream. One accepts that one cannot be pure. Moreover,
there are sins you would redeem, Knowing that your world
remains secure. In you there is a longing to be
known, Peered right through, as sun lights up a
room, Perhaps just as you promise to atone, Understood
and loved by One whose doom Remains wet, not yet hardened
into stone.
YOU CANNOT THINK THE BOOK OF LIFE WILL
CLOSE
You cannot think the book of life will
close. Opportunity must seem a right. Most days
contain a trace of paradise, Kindling the hope that God is
nice Instead of just or loving or pure light. Prepare
for what is not what you propose: Perhaps you think your
prayers will suffice, Unburdening your heart with hunger
slight. Repentance takes much more than you
suppose.
SHE HARBORED NO ILLUSIONS
She
harbored no illusions. She knew the winter's tale. On
and on the fragile boat Sailed among the stars.
She
managed without hope But could not part with dreams, And
so as land approached she wept And drank the bitter
sea.
HALLOWEEN'S A SUDDEN BOO!!
Halloween's
a sudden BOO!! And just as quick a scream: Laughing
in the scary dark, Loving friendly fright. On
Halloween, witches come true; Wild ghosts escape from
dreams. Each monster dances in the park, Eating
candy like a shark-- Now kiss and say
goodnight!
MENTAL ILLNESS DOESN'T TOUCH THE
SOUL
Mental illness doesn't touch the soul Even
as it punishes the mind. None can will the wanderings of the
wind, Though winter come, and tempests take their
toll. All who suffer innocent shall find Love
waiting by the window, well and whole, Inside the heart,
where it has full control, Longing ever, ever
unresigned. Let go your fear, and follow, then, your
path, Neither more nor less constrained than
those Embraced by gods less ruthless in their wrath. Sing
bravely down the windrows of your woes, Savoring a grace
that comes and goes.
JODY AND BLUE
Jody
and Blue have a great deal to do On their way to be
blissfully wed, Determined to be repossessed by the
sea Yet confining
themselves to one bed.
Bright days and nights can
be had without lights; Love works well, if by will, in the
dark. Undoing the pain of frustration and strain, Each
arrow finds always its mark.
CARE TO COME WITH ME
TO OUTER SPACE
Care to come with me to outer
space? On wings of will we fly across the void, Landing
in a wilderness of wonders. Unchain yourselves from now! The
present plunders More than you imagine, dreams
destroyed By labyrinths no longing can
retrace. Ultimately, one pursues the grace Sought
by the heart, or finds oneself employed Doing what must
one's sweet substance squander. As in my time, great seas,
of sails devoid, Yet beckon to the winds that guide the
race.
