Alright beaut?
..."Alright beaut?"
The landlady said
As she poured a fresh pint

......or It's good to be the king!
What was't made King Cole
Such a merry old soul
As he sucked on his pipe,
And he supped from his bowl,
And he fiddled around
With three young court musicians?

The Ascent
...Misty muted days in Scotland
part before you
making room for your own silence.
Now Beinn Mhòr's summit is under my feet

Reflection On a Maundy Thursday
...He came and dwelt among men
And shared a vision of heav'n;
To Him some opened their doors,
But more denied their favors.

Just a quick trip from the stars,

Pouring out angst and woe,
Seeming to gain strength
As their words start to flow.

Luck and fortune only smile on a few.

What Manner of Man Is This
...What manner of man is this, they asked,
Whom even the winds obey?
He speaks and calms the angry seas,
Yet He's humbler far than they.
To hear Him speak come thousands,
This man so meek and mil...
