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

(1^st Book  Of Prayers: March, 2024)

A Choice

The grey winter

of dismal intention

recurs with a vengeance

— until you say NO

(Dreamsleep: March, 2024)
