The precious yesterday

The precious yesterday
   was Love’s cup of
      blessings
   filled with possibilities—
   opportunities 
to acknowledge the good
      expressed by Soul …

Above the fog

Encounter foggy thoughts
   that loom 
So thick at break of day? 
You have the remedy
   at hand 
To sweep those clouds …
