A web clings
with limpid fragility
to the fractured sapling,
timorous in air’s breath,
long left by the spinner
of autumn’s lair

Verse of the Day
“For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;”

A Picture of You
you cupping daffodils in sacred space,
me entranced by you in your sacred space
now I’m dreaming of spring, of light, of warmth,

preparing for bliss in still, sacred space
what peace there may be, let’s find together;
a lotus where birds wash, their sacred space
a garden where someone talks to the birds,
gently asking, we share his sacred space
