Once again I’ll go over what God has done, lay out on the table the ancient wonders;
I’ll ponder all the things you’ve accomplished, and give a long, loving look at your acts.

The One who holds the future
Still holds

Wonder

Let me look in wonder 
At You
At the things you do
Let me stand amazed

Let me step lightly into 
Your mystery
Your grace

i rise 
small
reluctant 
sorrowful 
discouraged 
downhearted
and out the window spy 

a hummingbird

thank you poppa
you knew just the thing
sent at  just the right time
to strengthen me

i hope you found some sweetness there
 my little one
my little one
amongst the flowers fading

thank you for sharing 
your sweetness 
with me
now

fly 
fly 
away

Mary Musings

I played her once

Mary

In a spectacular fantasmagorical 
That was 

Quite unlike her life
(ok nothing like her life)

She had

No voice 
(no surprise there it was the 80’s afterall and we preferred our Mary silent then)

Simply embodied
She embodied

And I wondered what
 It would have been like 
To be her

Bringing so much light 
Into so much darkness
