morning coffee

is a prayer

*

unsneer our speech

O blessed Grace

unrage our hearts  

*

weal and woe

seek and sue

changes and chances

*

can we learn
kneeling before each other

vulnerability
respect for the tenderness
of our kindred

*

sassafras's colour

on the fringe of November  

*  

The Sailor cannot see the North ---

but knows the Needle can

*

God is a verb 

can peace be a verb

peace us :: whole us :: heal us  

break us to beauty

weep us to love
