Summer notes

drift through the leaves – to my porch swing

Lately I,

I see you everywhere

Dark and Light

and every shadow in between

Cherry oaks

I have seen on my evening walk

 

 

Sunshine sketches

a silhouette

of you and me

on the black street

waiting to cross

into the field

the greenest grass

we’ve ever seen

I’ll tell you what I’m thinking

though you probably know

woman I love the way

you soothe my soul

Billows

Last night, on my bike
drinking a draft
of breezes and billows
I played upon the black street
and surely felt God’s pleasure

Someday I’ll build a house

build it tall and strong

and pray that God above

will fill it with his song

 

 

I’m always steppin lightly

watching my words

biding my time

forgetting this wind

which delights in my hair

Water

Your water moves, it ebbs and flows

it burns like fire in my soul

it shakes in ways I can’t control

and can’t even explain

 

The love of God is deep and wide

the heart of God – beauty defined

the love of man’s a fickle tide

why do you love us so?

 

I wish I knew my father well

maybe one day we’ll sit a spell

stare deep into that holy well

of eyes so blue and grey

Haiku 9-16

 

 

All threads belong to
God – who is a grand weaver
with caring artists’ hands

Don’t tell me

I could ream you if I wanted

but I’ll leave you both alone

just please return the favor

and don’t tell me where you go

We Are One – wedding song

We are two, we are one, we are

We are two, we are one, we are

Oh the Lord is good and true

he brought me to you

We are two, we are one, we are

 

We are two, we are one, we are

We are two, we are one, we are

The Lord, from Adam’s side,

took a rib to make a bride

We are two, we are one, we are

 

O, Let us sing his praise

my Love, always

and magnify his name

for all our days

 

We are two, we are one, we are

We are two, we are one, we are

Oh sweet Love of mine

eat the bread and take the wine

Amen

we are one, we are

we are
