Bulbous Clouds - A New York City Moment

The feel and sound of wind now known

Papers loose upon streets

Against towering buildings blown

Voices in awe, humming motors,

Sounding horns,

Sirens screaming, an ambient array

As twilight and bulbous clouds

Betake moments this day

Such wondrous wile

These moments of sky

What forces pray tell

Be present on high

No answer to my query

Yet there be found

'Tis in nature's secret

These moments resound.

The pulsing passion of the Creator's Way
Brought to us this very day
In the moving sky above to see
Joyful wonder, our moment to BE
One with SELF, an embracing love
The WORD in glory shown above
The splendor of this sky we all hail
And blessed as ONE we shall prevail.

Heart and Home

Within these walls the waling labor and the promise of a new day
Upon these floors the heavy burdens and the knowing of The Way
Within these chambers of heart and home reverie and reflection
The searching wave of wonder and awe crests with God's perfection
No promise or lament need be silenced or denied its haunting call
Within moments Now the pulsing passion of Presence, The All
The rooms of this home bear sounds and visions of day's gone by
Beauty held in music, art, the gifts of man, child, earth, sea and sky
The noonday sun touches this winter day with warming light
From each window I look to sky, trees and leaves in wind's flight
This deep captivating call of heart and home in silence I do ever hear
I know of God, this moment, and faith in a tomorrow of banished fear.
