with folded hands
for full bellies
and fuller hearts

The chaos-harmony of life

2025 April 1st2002 December 12th

I swing like a kid
and fall like an adult;
cry tears of gratitude
and pray in smiles;
hug and love, and later
hide under the covers—
wildly and humbly living
from dawn to the stars,
and ever back again

At two-fifty-nine

2025 March 16th2020 January 14th

Prayer to the middle-of-the-night gods:
      please let me sleep —
thank you for the beautiful moon
      and winter silence
but please let me fall back to sleep —
      no offense.
                        Amen.
