Something sacred happens
When each singer takes his part
And Harmony is created
And it transcends
And becomes more

Butterfly
If you put a butterfly in a box,
She'll die.
Even if you say
"Here little butterfly,
you can have three little pin holes to breath through.
Just three though."
She'll die.
I'll die.

Light
Transparency
It's life giving
(and worth it)
I'm keeping no secrets from you
My Brothers
My Sisters
#apoemaday
Peace
The sweet comfort of sharing sorrows
My life is crazy
And
So is yours
And
God is enough
Sweet
Peace

Lament
When you silence me
I am diminished
And I will not be diminished
I'll just choose
Differently
Whom I trust my voice to
I
Will
Not
Be
Diminished
And you will be the poorer for it.
#apoemaday
Not you
When I feel
Inadequate
Afraid
Frazzled
Confused
Harassed
That's not you Father
That's not you.

There
I miss the '80's
When things were black and white
And I knew wrong from right
"Pray every day
Twice on Sunday
And things will turn out right"
Things are murky now
Varying shades of grey
And Yet
And Yet
Abba Father
You're
Still
There

Wouldn’t it
Wouldn't it be nice If Hibernating were a thing That Humans could do Once in a while (or more) Wouldn't it be nice A long lovely nap A hideaway From The world And work And such Woudn't it be nice Not to have to get up to Go to the bathroom Or Get a drink of water A long nighty night Wouldn't it Be nice
Variables
Solving problems
When you control none
Of the variables
Is an exercise in
Faith
And
Frustration
