On Mass and three brief poems
The pastor spoke about the Trinity today, the mystery of the way that Father, Son, and Holy Ghost can come together in the host. After my Dad died earlier this year, a friend said, “he will always be with you.” A comfortable ghost.
“Boys in Trees” by yours truly
Boys in a tree
Lucky not to fall.
we used to play jumping.
From swings too.
My nephew tree climber
Says, “I am brave but careful.”
I guess we were then too.
“Cloud Cover” by yours truly
Sometimes the cloud cover
Is so heavy
It can seem like nature’s ceiling.
With a bit of sunlight revealing.
And what are you feeling?
What are you feeling?
“This Morning” by yours truly
This morning, more sunlight
On the back window of a parked car.
No clouds today,
So sunlight comes through
And makes another spectral
And colorful image on the back
Window of a parked car.
How near are you? How far?
Actually a lot of clouds
Came in mid-day today.
I thought of being able
To fly like a bird
Through gentle clouds.
