Leaps to Fly
I am so deeply in love
with the sky.
How she shocks my small circle eye!
Words shrink, shrivel, and pale,
to great Sky's splendiferous scale.
Launch-lifted, my heart leaps to fly
into colors and swishpers and sighs,
Soaring vistas, mist-vapors, and snow,
into mountains and thunders I go!
Through sculptures of sugar-cream fluff,
through the heavens' sweet cottony stuff.
A landscape, a skyscape, impossibly wide!
The sky-song is calling. I'm going outside...
Good morning, my dark sky, blackened in tar,
God's simple signature: one twinkling star.
Magic Laughter
Bubbling, fizzling,
Like sparkling water-foam, dancing
on beach sand.
Like bird-giggles,
Like the voices of children,
Cresting waves, in deep-surge or splashing delight.
Thank you for turns and tricks
and tickle-toons, this
Carbonated magic: laughter.
In the Clouds
(to Meet the Lord)
Ah HA!
This is why I love the clouds...
(stop laughing and crying long enough
to breathe and say)
Lord, this is why I love the clouds:
Because:
In cloud-crinkle pages
I am called to remember...
When the cloud-trumpet calls
We will rise and
meet You in the air,
In the fleecy-golden white.
Forever.
"And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus shall we always be with the Lord." I Thessalonians 4:17
Holy Spirit
Roaring Whisper
Earthquake flutter
a Feather's breeze, hurling mountains to the sea!
Now, now,
pierce my pleasures
with your Translucent Destiny.
