Sniffing for Light
Posted by magicalmysticalteacher

Empty horse corral—
shadows drift across dry slats,
sniffing for fresh light.

Rock and Salvation
Posted by magicalmysticalteacher

Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.
Psalm 62:1-2, King James Version
Rock and salvation,
I shall not be greatly moved—
you are my defense.

Six Takes on ‘News’
Posted by magicalmysticalteacher

naked in the grass
we lay until the news came—
runaway blue kite
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
I’ve known no sorrow
worthy of being printed
in the morning news.
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
sweetening the air
news of the old man’s demise
no more cruelties
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
the end of winter—
good news to eager sowers
waiting with fresh seeds
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
Even the roadblocks
can’t keep news from travelling
village to village.
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
In moments like these
no one cares about the news—
a fresh grizzly track.

In My Hour of Need
Posted by magicalmysticalteacher
Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
Psalm 61:1-2, King James Version
Psalm 61:1-2, King James Version
Rock higher than I,
to you the Spirit leads me
in my hour of need.

Six Takes on ‘Hour’
Posted by magicalmysticalteacher

In a little room
that she rented by the hour,
she made love to him.
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
In an old hotel
the hour approaches midnight—
no one is sleeping.
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
At this early hour
the cathedral is empty,
save for scrabbling mice.
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
At the witching hour,
light the smallest of candles—
watch the demons flee.
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
The benediction
came at the end of one hour—
hands lifted in grace.
~~~ ~~~ ~~~
Hour by sacred hour
the journey that forms the heart
unfolds within you.
