Morning Rain
Answering The Past
I tell you what
you ask me why
Inside this ring
of time disguised
Two hundred reasons
passing go
Retracing steps
— of long ago
(Dreamsleep: March, 2024)
Forever Now
Make your bed with today
no one’s promised tomorrow
The present is visceral
its moment at hand
Repeating itself
in joy and in sorrow
The instant eternal
— forever Divine
(Dreamsleep: March, 2024)
Lost To Oneself
What do the years mean
when they come to an end
Their number a folly
if hearts cannot mend
A month or a decade
results but the same
‘With feeling abandoned
— a life spent in vain
(Dreamsleep: March, 2024)
The Moment Blessed
The future
can be avoided
the present cannot
The past but
a door prize
to what you have not
To live in
the moment’s
eternal refrain
A blessing
self given
— again and again
(Dreamsleep: March, 2024)
Calling Us Home
Drawn into the light
arms open wide
to hear
that song again
Which ushered
us here
replaying clear
— by Angels from within
(1st Book Of Prayers: March, 2024)
A Choice
The grey winter
of dismal intention
recurs with a vengeance
— until you say NO
(Dreamsleep: March, 2024)
