Wilderness Journey, Day 17

Sunday – Monday

 

sun’s warmth baths the floor

the window sill, the settee
for a time and then
a bolt from the blue streaks forth
followed by thunder
a wrecking bent on chaos
to thwart my forward movement

Wilderness Journey, Day 16

Day One

primordial soup

the abyss of nothingness

yet unformed, unmade

when God said, let there be light

and there was the light;

by the Word light overcame

the darkness, now we may see

Wilderness Journey, Day 15

Sunny Bunny

Hopping out of my den

sunnier than I have been
since snow fell in December
enough clover to eat
which feels good to my feet
yet I need to remember
Spring’s unpredictable
often unmerciful
I stay awake, stay limber

Wilderness Journey, Day 14

Grace Light

 

Through thick fog it burns in

shafts of enlightening

to resurrect a new day

changing misty morning

with grace of restoring

molting light to light the way

no time is created

when gift is not sated

thru blue sky beyond the fray

Wilderness Journey, Day13

Rock in My Shoe

It is planted there
where one cannot see it
no plan it has to fit
on one stray nerve

innocently a foot
is dropped into the bed
the yelp as yet unsaid
until hobbled

Wilderness Journey, Day 12

Bitter Pie

The fruit they use is bad

sans sugar to sweeten
no cream to lighten
in soggy crust

cutting in what falls out

is mutilated hate
thrust on a world too late
for redemption

Wilderness Journey, Day 11

New Family

Summer’s wasps are long gone
fallen to freezing grouse
bequest of tenant house
for bluebird pair

One peeks, then the other
in and out the round hole
gaging if nest will mold
to the inside

Wilderness Journey, Day 10

Daffodil

Small suns with ruffled
petals encircling Perianth tubes

and parading pungent scent
of Spring

forced through the darkened winter
earth, they burst with bright
light awash with warmth
the soul’s holdover to the resurrection

Wilderness Journey, Day 9

1

between the notes

lyrics pause in the silence

of another song

2

five frosty fragments

of words beat the best of beat

icy tick tick tick

3 

jewels sharpen blue

birds’ ribbed wings outstretched just a

jointed jump for food

Wilderness Journey, Day 8

When dogs enter the sheep field
kyrie eleison
six bowls of dented cars and
flowers flattened to the earth
crushed to blackened and broken biers
If God hates me, then I am lost
kyrie eleison
Tall grasses twitch in gusts
popping past
inching them low, lower, lowest.
kyrie eleison
Bodies, did I say bodies?
stiff and cold, gone of breath, beat and
beauty
is an unreasonable angle to behold.
kyrie eleison

Wilderness Journey, Day 7

Gen. 3:15

Eden Resumed

In Eden hope took form on two
legs and walked about in the heat
of the day until overtaken
by the enemy.

In Eden death took form on two
legs and walked about in the heat
of the day until overtaken
by the cross.
