The trees split their sides
With laughter. They snicker
Because you didn’t get up
On time. Now get out there
And hoe the garden. And
Take a census of the fattest
Earthworms.

Glory Days
Heavenly sunshine, heavenly sunshine,
The clouds move in so heaven goes
Away, but not redemption.
Falling
A sparrow falls
Through
Dawn-air-rain-
Looking hard,
Searching for
A perch.
Music
Why is it that children
Sing naturally, but
Adults require long
Periods of training to
Halfway carry a note?
Sign
My favorite neon
Sign is one that
Says: LOVE YOU TO THE
Moon & Back
Circular Question
How does a hypnotist not
Hypnotize himself? When
He hypnotizes someone
Else, is he sure he’s not
Doing the same thing to
Himself?
Breathless
She raises both arms to
Free the clasps binding her
Long, lush hair. It explodes
Down her back, taking my
Breath away.
Midnight Swim
One thing my wife and I
Used to do was go to a
Private lake at midnight
And go for a cool, relaxing
Swim. It was so peaceful
Under the moonlight. We
Don’t do it anymore, but
The memories remain of
The days of youth.
Earth from Above
If you could sit on a cloud,
You could see the boundary
Lines between countries.
But the people would be
Too small to see–not so
With Jesus.
Hello Monday
Monday finally has arrived.
The wicked weekend has
Finally gone away and we
Can consider ourselves
Liberated. It’s going to be
A great week. No looking
At the calendar!
