Geese Gather

Geese Gather while

Sorrow and
Joy 
Peace and
Fear

Sage siblings 
Wrestle 
(for)

Preeminence 

Predominance

Winter’s rest

I welcome you
From afar

Transplanted

It was the same familiar garden
That she once knew well

Where 

She once grew and thrived

But

Then

The rain never rained
And
The sun never shone
And 
The weeds grew and grew
And
The flower

She waned

So

The Gardener
(in His mercy)
Took the little plant

Tenderly 

Carefully 

Up by the roots 
(so painful, so vulnerable, so raw)

And carried it to

Another 
(unfamiliar)
Part of the garden

Where

The rain rained
And
The sun shone
And
The weeds were weeded
And 

The little flower

Grew

Rain

I wake
To a symphony of rain
Masterfully played by earth and sky


Thank you Creator


And the parched ground
Rendered deaf from too long without music
Gratefully drinks in the sound

Little Fox

Little fox

Thank you for gracing me with your presence today

You stopped
I stopped

And we took stock of one another
In silence and respect

(friend or foe friend or foe friend or foe)

We wait 
Momentarily frozen in wonder and observation

And then 

You turn tail and turn

Back to your family
Back to your world
Back to your reality

In which I am only an ignorant visitor

Glory

A glorious spread of yellow tansy
Growing low and long and wide and wild on the shore
Gives me pause 

And

I wonder

What would the world look like if 

It was all planted by 

You

(instead of)

me


I wonder

Dragonflies

Tiny brilliant blue
Dragonflies flit
Over and through 
The long long grass
That we 
(by some miracle of good intention)
Left unshorn

Before Dawn

Before dawn 
Before!
A chorus of birds greet the not yet sun
Confident in their Creator 
(who orders all things well)
That it will rise 
(the sun)
And so must I
Greet the day with 
Faith
Hope
Trust
Joy
Confident expectation
