Long Daunting Poems

Dandelions…
They flutter, now I see
Fiery lions…

courtesy assiduously, habitually,
and judiciously reading
an eclectic assortment of written material.

and sang “Happy Birthday” in the rain,

the Trinity communed in sacred tongue
with sounds unheard, unspeakable, sublime
they uttered words of their unending Love.
With power in God's WORD the world was formed

with medieval feast of Candlemas,
and its pre-Christian predecessor,
Imbolc, a day also rich in folklore.
