A New Year's Prayer
May the winds of happiness and joy
.... surround you.
When sorrow arrives
.... may the love of others support you.
May we touch lives,
.... remembering that the atoms
.... we breathe contain the essence
.... of all who came before.
May your 2013 be filled
....with the peace of God's grace.
Snowy Day
Flakes brush my skin
.... as the cold chills the core.
The whistling wind my company–
.... appropriate for an Ohio January day.
A sea of white lays before me–
.... each step leaving an imprint.
They soon disappear
.... as if never there.
Peace, where art thou?
Peace eternal
.... walks the land
.... only asking
.... for us to grasp her hand.
She’s so lonely at times
.... with no one
.... to share her bounteous gifts
.... and infinite beauty.
She longs
.... for the embrace–
.... to become one
.... with those who seduce her.
Most ignore her seductiveness,
.... instead become consumed
.... with lust and fealty toward
.... painted harlots and youthful gigolos
.... who bring sadness and emptiness.
She ceaselessly pleads,
.... “I am yours
.... for all who desire me.
Just yield to my embrace
.... and experience the bounty
.... of all that awaits.”
