it may be
christmas eve-
eve
or the emperor’s
birthday
in japan
or maybe owen
frank’s birthday
or the night of
the radishes
in mexico
or the day
that oscar peterson
passed away
or the day that
sixteen survivors
of the andes flight
disaster were rescued
after seventy-three
days, having
survived
by
cannibalism
or
it may be a day
that you get to
give someone
the
Love
above all Love
understanding
it is given to us
in Jesus
where ever we are

Holy Is The One

always
coming
like the wind He
blows into
hearts unknowing

always with us
living through our
very being
we celebrate

worship
Him
more than on
certain days
people named

and
deemed Holy
the Gift
God has given
is

and He renews
that we may see
His Glory
and live
in His Love

distant in this cold
bristling west wind
damp chill
to the bone
night
in this valley of
refugees from
the sun
where
i am left
wondering
why
i didn’t
make soup
creamy
zucchini with
herbs home filling
fragrance
floating on air
with broken
crust of bread
warm
buttered
