The precious yesterday
   was Love’s cup of

   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?

To sweep those clouds …

Evidence of God appears

Quietly and quintessentially,
