the visible world

points to the invisible

God loves irony

The theater lifts

life above the status quo

story, costumes, lights

sunrise and sunset

heavenly journey markers

life beyond this realm

produces life’s great blueprints

season for dreamers

sticky juice sprayed my

glistening face as I indulged

tangy ripened fruit

ancient melodies

of seafaring strangers rise

with the sea waves

Today I’d like to

sail across the silv’ry sea

seeking spring’s spigot

bright pansy faces

straining their heads to the sun

cheering me homeward

winter’s bloom withers

and hope of spring is distant

logs sing in the fire

winter’s skeletons

stark against the dusky sky

I pause in wonder
