Foreign Sun

Like a foreign sun
In imaginary sky
Somehow, you shed light

Parked At the Mall

Busy shopping mall parking lots
Car doors opening and closing
Words flashing on digital billboards
A screech, a honk, some belligerent
Cursing bastard, a car alarm blaring
The noisy comings and goings
Of folks numb to the chaos
Rows upon rows of pollutants
Oil-stained pavement
Loose change on the dashboard
Keys left in the ignition
The engine still idling
Me, in the driver’s seat pondering it all

Change of Season

CHANGE OF SEASON

Today brings about a new season
A lingering darkness awaiting the 
Sprout of sunrise in an eastern sky
Winds shifting, a drafty Canadian air
Cool and prickly on the skin
Clouds dense and low-hanging as though
Stuck in the throat of heaven 
Like a ball of cotton
Leaves changing to rust, gold, and bronze
Curling into themselves, dropping from limbs 
Like fluttering origami kites
A sudden eruption of autumn shades,
Blooms of mum and aster
Like tiny bold-colored umbrellas 
Snapped abruptly open
Such a phenomenal change of scenery, 
A cheerful death, bound to bring 
Yet another spring awakening.

Pre-Dawn

Listen to the birth before sunrise
That predawn movement which 
Pushes us into the light
Songs dispersing from elm
And maple, spruce and pine
Oak and ash
The skitter across a lawn
The ripples in the pond
The breath escaping our lungs
And it is not yet daybreak

Strange Sky

A strange sort of sky
how the clouds gathered and spun
and squeezed out the rain

Moon Dancer

Her silhouette in moonlight’s gaze
accentuates her splendid curves
she dances in moon’s golden glow
feet tiptoe ‘cross the velvet turf

She floats through night’s gentle breeze
as if she were a lullaby
enticing only lovely dreams
amid a velvet midnight sky

My Eulogy

I tell you, do not be saddened
If Jesus has called me home
For I’ve completed the journey
And now stand at His Throne
The weight of the world’s been lifted
That I might now rest in peace
In the presence of our Savior
His love shall never cease
