The fifth day – A Poem
Perhaps the fifth day Isn’t just another weekday – The cathedral to week’s end But, A whisper of all that came to life in Eden. When great whales surfaced for air for the very first time, When pelicans and parakeets and penguins, Found rest for their feet in Havilah’s prime. And, it was the dayContinue reading “The fifth day – A Poem”
Phoenix – A Poem
Forgotten dreams surface – plans to aspire. Their details dance in memory’s flame, Like sparks from the ashes of a campfire. Were they dreams to accomplish, Or, Truth enchanted, To keep our hearts soft with compassion for life, When comes the many times during strife, We somehow rise as a living spark, From the PhoenixContinue reading “Phoenix – A Poem”
The cool of the day – A poem
Before sunrise splendor rolls up the horizon like a scroll. While nocturnal dreams under eyelids roll. Into the stillness beyond night’s gateway, Comes…the cool of the day. Where the fire of life – The invisible divine presence, Carries the tender waking soul, Into a new day.
Herbs – A poem
The herbs with their seeds, One of the Creator’s earliest deeds, To direct the anthem of his giving. The lowly herb serves all living. Mint’s minor notes mingle over rocky fields. Chamomile chants its hymns to colorful yields. Sage sings silently hiding in green meadows. The Dandelion drums on yellow flowers as it grows AndContinue reading “Herbs – A poem”

Its shores, offerContinue reading “The gathering of the waters – A Poem”

They polish the table of our daily bread – Our divine wages.Continue reading “Private Meditation: The housekeepers – A Poem”

Spanish Lavender – A Poem
Trip to the grocery store Paused in mid stride, to admire Fragrant pots of Spanish lavender. Clearly a captivating crowd-pleaser, As the lineup also came to an abrupt halt, While shoppers consider the plant. Meanwhile, to the dismay of the orderly crowd, Someone spontaneously, Read the growing instructions out loud. Space the plants apart inContinue reading “Spanish Lavender – A Poem”
