Prayer to the middle-of-the-night gods:
      please let me sleep
thank you for the beautiful moon
      and winter silence
but please let me fall back to sleep—
      no offense.
                        Amen.

The chaos-harmony of life

2020 November 20th2002 December 12th

I swing like a kid
and fall like an adult;
cry tears of gratitude
and pray in smiles;
hug and love, and later
hide under the covers;
wildly and humbly living
from dawn to the stars,
and ever back again.
