freedom

what is freedom?
Is any price too high?
we stand sadly
solemnly now
watching the hearse roll by
flag draped caskets
color guard alert
and wonder
and cry
what is freedom?
did we actually forget?
we have duties
choices,responsibilities
watching...

down trails of wonder
often we go
seeking glimpses of ever nevers
lost in our dreams
awake in our seems
our words our freeflight out

Sigh
I'll try again
We have too much history
Too much grace shared
in our life
our days,our nights
You've given in to me
I have given in to you
And so we go
sigh
Another deep breath
another day

It hurts to even dream, she said,
I have tried so hard,
And I know
You’ll say
I am trying all the wrong things,
Or I am praying the wrong prayers…
I shook my head in sadness,
That my previous, pat answers
Had such ill effects.
She let her tear...

Blackwater Morning

Morning birds, awake to fly
Over river, marsh, and me
Awaiting the sun, becomingly
Morning fields, begin to breathe,
Into air, around the earth,
Upon the day, at rebirth
Morning woods, slumber awhile
Still, between dark and light
Slowly awaken, ...

wistful, but real as children's smiles;

Life in the lowlands can be very interesting...and not like in any other place. This morning tide has caused us to cancel church. Since I have 3 churches each Sunday morning, it has so far been canceled at two.
We also had a major bike race down ...

Late Summer

Goldenrod heralds the change,
The land the fields are tired,
They begin to gladly
Offer their crops, their fruit,
Ready to be shorn, to wait.
Soon the tractors will strip them,
And they will sleep,
Fall has begun to peek,
Though summer holds tig...
