Womb of night
Engrossed in
Surreal silence
Imagination stretched
Beyond galaxies revealing
Immortal self...

Time's sheltering arms
.....Nestled my heart..........Within a room wrapped in
The lingering whispers of our love.

in the darkened end
of my cocooned life,
and He said,
Come out beautiful creature,
I want you to fly.

Sheltering the cells of life

No greater shadow than ferns teeth
Sheltering the infant saplings underneath,
The same soil where strangling vines sleep
What the forest grows, also reaps...

Who had the gift of love
Adopted three orphaned
Bunnies; sheltering
Them under her tiny wings
Love was in the air 
With this tiny little dove...

Keeping us alive, treating us with care
Sweet Mother Earth
Ever since our birth
Sheltering us all, keeping us prepared...

Your face,
Sunshine in the rain.

Your arms,
Angel's wings, warm and sheltering.

Your eyes,
Like fields of blackeyed susans, 

Lovely and dark
With light.

As winter
yields to spring
seeds wrinkled in time
join dormant flower bulbs
seeking sheltering dwellings
in purgatory catacombs of earth
and await the labor of nature’s rebirth....

her outstretch
lures me.

The whisper of her simple seed,
her forbearance
bids me.

Her stillness is temperance
sheltering colonies of
ants within her....

Men shooting,
bullets flying,
people sheltering,
Ground exploding,
people soreing,
blood splattering,
body burying,
letter sending,
familys crying,
war ending,
people forgetting.

summer trees singing
for within branches hide birds ~
               green leaves sheltering

from the green they glide
spreading pretty summer wings ~
               gathering nest twigs...

Branches adorned with new snow
reach high toward sapphire skies
then gently bow overhead
sheltering my path

Wnds whisper through supple limbs
- the gentle giants awake
to throw soft flakes of cold snow
at my upturned face...

It's hard to feel like
your growing up when you're moored
- sheltering at home.

I am patiently
waiting to take the helm of my
life's navigation.

My life, so far, is
prelude - I long to cast off 
and exit the slip....

(Chain Verse)

The gathering of our old saints
Saints sheltering eternal love
Love and honor with mysticism
Mysticism with all it's glory

We are all dying
I did not know I was 
Until today

It is not a doctor’s prognosis
It’s not a disease
It’s not having people

Sheltering in place
Is taking my joy 
Squelching my happiness

This is how people die right?...

A knitted quilt lays on my bed's divan
Needled by Grandma, generations ago
Its wool fiber pliant and wide enough
To keep the family cuddled in bonfire eves
Sheltering me now, her heirloom's gift.

The sheltering of are heart is pure
for God covers it with his love
but the bonds of flesh try to escape
to leave the confinements of are soul
what is this flesh to us?
is it not just meat and bone?
is not are soul a means to an end
and a new beginning.......
