Father

Father your heart
populates itself
with doves on the 
blue Shore of our earth-

Perhaps your love will cover
us with its wings and teach 
us that when everything seems 
to be sad and threatening-
on the abyss of destruction
and death-
all is alive blooming at
at this very moment-
like a heavenly flower
bursting through the earth-
smile at us-
We seek in you the guidence 
we need in our lives.California Blue
