...
                                                Rivers

Wetness folds this way and that

Clever Guitars

From His startling brush, blaze stars,
We save them like fireflies in jars,
Ours are in photos or memoirs,
Played in songs by clever guitars.

From His light, flow blessings galo...

Soul's Cry

Can you hear what I'm hearing?
I hear a cry, loud and clear,
blowing across the nation from sea
to shining sea; from the lowlands
and valleys in the east to the
highlands and mountains of th...

Flyovers

...Progress seems proudly perched on flyovers, 
Sold on many a toll-dotted speedways. 
Each, pylon-pecked, on hinterland hovers, 
And not on friendly crisscrossing highways. 

They slyly gloat over...

THE VANQUISHED
