Those seeking adventure and experiences beyond imagining
Those seeking to make a better world
And I will fill them and nurture and satisfy . . .

Rising from the burning incense sticks
Filling the room with the aroma
Of sweet sandalwood
And carrying . . .

Beneath the parties and the church services
Beneath the carols and the family dinners
There is a hidden tear, a touch of sadness.

That thrill-feeling of seeing
Something totally unexpected
Like coming ‘round a bend In a country road
And encountering a field of wild . . .

Just For a moment
It is Midnight on Christmas eve
An just for a moment I think
Of all those who are alone
And have no one to think of them
And pray that somehow
They will remember fondly . . .

The wisest woman I ever knew
Who shared my life for fifty years
Once said to me,
“It is not important that I love.
It is less important that I am loved

Just for a moment
The billowing mist parted

And the violets bloom
Gold and crimson leaves fall
Heralding the Autumn

Speak of the coming Winter

When you look at his tiny perfect face
All you see are eyes and ears
Eyes that at once imply innocent knowing
As if he somehow understands that his ancestors

Winter Morning
Tiny pug marks in the snow
Leading to my front door and then away
A cat alone in the subzero wind
How tragic for her
How cruel of us

You, who are omnipresent
Fill my heart
You, who the universe cannot contain.
Let me hear your voice
You, who are eternal utterance
But in your mercy
You . . .

Turning feluccas into silhouettes
Ancient boats, ancient river
Sun and river giving life to the land
Once you were worshipped as a god
Because of you radiant . . .

Lest I should go before she
And it chanted by one who

Now this way, now that
Yielding to the prevailing wind
But always blessing her children
