Frozen with doubt
Puzzling out
The quandary.
Uncertain with doubt
Pondering out
The dilemma.
Skeptic with doubt
Questioning out
The scruple.
Qualms with doubt
Demur without
Wondering if.
Query faith
Imagine out
Ambiguity.
After all,
Doubts are
“the ants in the pants”
Of faith.
Misgivings
Give way
To understanding.

Alienated
Finding myself
Opposite.
Replaced
By a stepmother
On Father’s Day.
Unfamiliar
With the responses
In the catholic church.
But familiar with the ecumenical language
Of Christ Episcopal.
Unable to muster
The mobile com;
Nostalgic for phone booth,
Landlines and quirky operators.
It isn’t even summer,
But the heat rises
To 105 and 115 degrees.
“Global Warming” seems too mild a term!
I schedule Sedona
To teach Calligraphy.
But they call it a ‘lost Art”
And banish Italic from the schools.
Seems we’re banned from flourishes!
Baking cookies
Used to be the last resort
For grounding.
Now we’re pushed out
As robots “chef” the kitchen:
Automatic invaders.
Chocolate chip cookies
Replaced by antioxidants.
Seems I’m just
An outdated label,
Making way for e-branding,
High surveillance
And texting blips!
U think?

God is the power
None other.
Infinite.
God is the love
None other.
Bliss.
God is the mind
None other
Oceans.
I am the power!
I am the love!
I am the mind!
Infinitesimal
Infinity.
A fleeting thought
Extended by the
Creator!

Birthing Wisdom
Research
Find it
Light it
Own it.
Reflect
Protect
Hold it
Guard it
Be keen
Mean it
Scream it
Beam it.

Annika, at three years old, is awestruck at:
Giant beings
Thunderous clappings
Father’s hands
Mom’s commands
Cyclone’s howl
Wasp’s sharp jowl
Crushing weights
Slamming gates
Clanging locks
Darkness’ knocks
Mysteries
Fantasies
But, most of all,
Mother love
Father love
Brother love!
