in 1978 Owen with John
This AM
my daughter went to the farm store
and left her phone in the Ghent Homestead.
I tried for an hour and with 6 calls to 5 people to find her
all to no avail.
I was lost in cyberspace
and had to turn to prayer.
Evidently,
no touch screen –
and I’m out of touch
with the whole village.
Even the wind
was silent.
Only my soul sang.
(from now on, I’m holding all of them in my lap)
( we are there in the lap of my creator)

voice
stands
like a statue… set in stone
pushes
like a crusher
molding steel
whispers
like a summer breeze
weaving tendrils
sings
like a love bird’s
nesting wings
whispers
like a mother’s
sweet lullaby
voice
leads you home
and out again
