Asleep before the head hits the pillow
Head filled with vivid colors swirling, amassing, mixing outside the lines 
Transgressions grow skyward like a bean stalk becoming a giant

I've reflected upon this year, now that it's nearly over,
and realized that my faith in God has not diminished.
How difficult it was to choose my best blessing in 2022,
when I've been given so many and must choose only one.

My decision came to rest on the...

It was Christmas Eve night and Santa was in a pickle
when Dasher was caught giving Blitzen a quick tickle
He and Dancer had been seriously dating for a year
but his flirtatious ways had her crying tear after tear.

Worried, Rudolph told Santa she refused to fly tonight

Straits, and full of turmoil.

As I walk through this life in history,
I live.
You may not like my lifestyle,
Still, I live.
You look at me with a beam in your eyes,
Trying to take a straw out of mines,
My straw is a single dried stalk of gain,
 Your beam is loaded down...

under the lych-gate shall I pass
before the wait in holding hands
for the robed man of God to steer
me to my resting days

the sanded brick of grotesque face
that stares across the standing stones
to look beyond the yew

and those who sidle...
