Reflecting What?

Reflecting What?

A worried hush blankets the land

in quiet clusters of conversation

As world brought to knees

coronavirus has silenced the nations

A holy hush covers the land

ear ringing silence as listen

Invitation to stillness

restores harried hearts

Tomorrow's no guarantee

never has been

In the present I choose

to demonstrate Father's love

A perfect moment

to love

My neighbor

as myself

Poem 20-080y

In the midst of the seriousness of coronavirus there is an invitation to stillness and reflecting the love of God to those around us. Fear is even more contagious robbing of us our humanity and further distorting who we are created to be. Stop and reflect on Psalm 91 and find Peace in the moment.

Traffic Jam

Traffic Jam

Herd of black angus

two hundred plus

pressed to clear a path

so we can move down the pavement

Begrudginly they yield

pressed on by

horseback cowgirls and cowboys

a family and neighbor affair

Working with the riders

black and white border collies

clearing a lane

leaping to and frow

nipping at hooves

of lollygagging cows

A wonderful Wyoming traffic jam

Poem 20-067z

Encountered a Wyoming traffic jam this week while at work.

Morning Image

Dawn breaks faintly

headlights still glow

coyote darts across earthy gravel road

fluffy tail 'n wiery frame full throttle

'til fades into winter's brown prairie

Poem 20-062z

A moment on the way into work this morning.
