When in the depths
of the darkest night
it can be so hard
to remember the light
Yet the fact is
we need only turnaround
like the spinning earth
to receive the blessing
The truth is it is all of God
it is all light
We only choose to pretend
that we can play hide and seek
Sky growled gray
Spat like a cat cornered
Wind blustered and agitated
Shook ideas to bone
And behind
All the falderal
The sun shone gaily
Ever grateful
Ever warm
Ever light
Such is God’s love for us
One grey day
when even the shadows
were dull and listless
He noticed a suspicious sparkle
out the side of his perceptions
He discovered the prismatic
rainbow colors
lurking on the periphery
Playing hide and seek
with his consciousness
“Come out, come out,
wherever you are!”
Spotlights
Tulip festooned branches
bejeweled with sparkling dew
———————————-
Birds have been awake
for hours
Twittering and whistling
making their remarks
———————————
Still, my mind…
Full, my heart…
