A MEDITATION

Our beautiful bright minds
Go dark time and time again
Then plans for improvement
And dedication of our lives
Evaporate and we find
Ourselves starting over
We are lucky to have a
Loving creator who wants us 
To succeed and proceed 
His Son died for our wrongs
And now seeks goodness
We are fragile and must
Continuously look to Him
For guidance hoping that
He will respond to our wishes
We must be patient in waiting
We are good at justifying our wrong
And often forget to pray for help
We fail to act when we should
In a positive way, often choosing
The dark, but His Light 
Overcomes our darkness
It is time now, this very day, to
Turn to Him with gratefulness
For His compassion

WIND


The wind
Blows
We take 
No note at first
Until its crescendo 
Alarms us

And soon
The roar
Will have us reeling
And 
Engaged in wonder

Then
Almost without
Perception 
It passes and silence
Overwhelms our senses

We are left
Bewitched 
Numb
And in awe 

We know little
Are prepared for less
Green mountains 
Have no meaning

Roaring rivers 
Frighten us
May cause stress
Sacred truths 
Diminish us
