It’s not quite six yet
Which I still find “too early”
The boy’s in high school
I’m still adapting to the high school schedule. That will come. That will come.

Listening to Compline
Sitting in dim light
Not darkness, tranquil
People highlighted by shadow
Candle’s energy dancing
Upon faces, glinting eyes
Music carries words
Deeper than where
They’ll go
On their own power;
Calmness fills empty spots
Within my soul
Refreshed and
Birthed anew
Seattle’s St. Marks cathedral has hosted compline for decades. Sung evening prayer has roots deep in Christian liturgy and the Anglican tradition. These speak to me deeply, especially in candlelit halls of stone.
Seasonal Motion
And so I’m falling
Forward into each season
Brewing energy
I find myself anticipating each new season’s arrival. The excitement wears off, though. Fortunately, new things come each change.
Blessings to you all!
When Night Falls
I love when night falls
As the air cools and light wanes
And peacefulness descends
Children’s Laughter
This sound
Laughing children
Always a delightful way
To awaken
Another Friday
Five days have now passed
And another week ending
Time for a reboot
Where Love Hides
Searching in the dark
You’ll find love hiding
In the corner
Impish grin upon
Its face
Ease of Waking
I find it far easier
Waking to poetry
Than to news
Beauty’s Truth
Remember the truth about beauty:
Beautiful actions have deep power
If we loved beauty
Imagine if
We obsessed
Over beauty
With the
Same energy
We invest
Into rage
