I understand you completely...

Home... .


The sky is so beautiful tonight with mauve-swept clouds slowly drifting all around a brilliant sliver of silver moon. The branches and leaves of the trees frame the whole in a circle of gracefulness, a wondrous portal into the night sky. The breeze is cool, a sea-breeze it seems. How strange to feel it here in the midst of the prairie; but no stranger perhaps than seeing a seagull flying above my head as I walked the country lane. I saw one yesterday, heard its plaintive cry as it sailed above me. By now it is surely home again. And that is where I am, home once more, writing these words beneath a canopy of stars on midnight blue. Home again from the sea...

Reality


Can it be
that I am not
as real to you
as you are
to me?

Only a dream---


"Life is only a dream: soon we shall awaken. And what joy! The greater our sufferings, the more limitless our glory. Oh! do not let us waste the trial Jesus sends."

--Saint Therese of Lisieux

Summer days


Summer days, take my breath away.
Drain all doubt from me.
Drench me in drops of sunlight.
Drive away the darkness.
Show me what I must see.

The heart asks...


The heart asks questions
not easily answered,
not answered at all,
crying out to know.
Silence casts a pall
as the music plays
in the secret hall, and
heartfelt tears begin to flow.

With apologies to the author...


"But love is not about security. Love is ever about risk, it seems. And maybe those who find love are those who are bold enough to really seek it."
