The moss is creeping in from the woods

Slowly slinking underfoot…

There is something in the grass

Maybe a cricket or a beetle…

Please don’t share your anger with me

Please don’t share your rage…

Like the prophet Jeremiah

I ate the Word of the Lord…

I am red

And always red…

Based on true events.

And immediately he called them

And immediately they answered…

Do you ever think

About nothing?

The pink and yellow begonias that line the porch

Are no match for a woman’s

Beauty…

Jupiter has launched

Himself high above the peaks…

Has anyone ever told you…?

Guide me firmly, gently, by the hand, Lord…

I’ve been busy planting apple trees…

For my students, past and present

Lord, make me like the hibiscus

That opens daily for the sun…

A prayer on the Ascension of Our Lord

The red ribbed robin rests ready in the rain…

The honeysuckle is blooming

Again

Sweetness has filled the air…

Somedays I feel like a giant snail…
