The silvery moon
Waits for heaven to call her
Mystical suitor

A Higher Standard (Tanka)
A higher standard
Sacrificed to man’s mistakes
We are all human
When too much to live up to
It guarantees our failure

Crescent Moon Through Clouds (Haiku)
Crescent moon through clouds
Once shrouded in mystery
Lost to ancient times

Serenading Me (Tanka)
Serenading me
Songbirds in the cottonwoods
A lovely alarm
To wake to nature’s music
Just as Heaven intended

A song only I can hear
Joyously living

Even the Sun Rests

Even the sun rests
Laying down at the end of day
Welcoming the moon
Never have they competed
Each knows its role in nature
When their time is over
They take solace in their work
And a job well done
Perhaps man could learn something
If he just paid attention

Today A Fresh Start (Tanka)
Today…a fresh start
The living Christ has risen
As a reminder
Each year a chance to return
Him to his sacred namesake

It’s Not About The Eggs
It’s not about the eggs
Candy or Easter bunny
But resurrection
Forgiveness is its meaning
For all of our mortal sins
Believing or not
Does not detract from longing
For eternal life
Something beyond this body
Into the realm of the spirit

Religious Freedom
Religious freedom
Legal discrimination
For modern zealots
Jesus Christ would be appalled
At your narrow mindedness
Constitutionally guaranteed
Why do we need another law
