TINY WINDOWS
I LOOK THROUGH TINY WINDOWS
THAT’S HOW I SEE THE WORLD
I WATCH THE CLOUDS ABOVE ME
OBSCURE THE BLUE UNFURLED
I SEE THE BIRDS IN TRANSIT
LAY TRAILS ACROSS THE SKY
AND WONDER WHERE IN FUTURE
THEIR GRACEFUL WINGS WILL FLY
I LISTEN TO THE TAPPING
UPON EACH WINDOWPANE
AND THINK ABOUT THE FLOWERS
WHO WELCOME THIS SWEET RAIN
I SEE THE CORN A DANCING
IN RHYTHM TO THE BREEZE
AND CHASE THE GOLDEN VISION
OF ALL THE WHISPERING TREES
I HEAR THE SOUND OF VOICES
SO NEAR AND YET SO FAR
AND TRY TO JUDGE THE DISTANCE
TO GUESS JUST WHERE THEY ARE
I WELCOME EVERY MOMENT
THAT BRING THESE THINGS TO ME
WHILE GAZING OUT THESE WINDOWS
UPON THESES SCENES FOR FREE
Morning Whisper
Beyond the morning whisper
That carries in the dawn
Between the rows of aspens
The joys of love are born
Nothing from the nightime
Could give away a clue
That there amongst the ether
Is all in life that’s new
The dew upon the flowers
Reluctantly does fall
And weeps into the long grass
Respecting natures call
The energies of wisdom
That seem to flow about
Are really just the murmurs
That once we used to shout
For now at last the silence
Will tell it own sweet tale
As I hear the morning whisper
Who new day does regale.
TRUTH
THE TRUTH IS MINE
IF I COULD SEE
IT TAKE AWAY
THIS PAIN FROM ME
FOR TRUTH IS LOVE
BUT IN DISGUISE
IT’S HOW I THINK
THAT MAKES ME WISE
AS I REFLECT
ON WHAT IS ME
I HOPE IN VIEW
I SURELY SEE
THAT LOVE
THAT IS MY TRUTH
