A psalm of summer

It's a day full of birdsong and bloomings,when heat has at last settled in,reaching the extremities—some collective, remembered fear of heat lingers—the locusts are silenced by a low-flying helicopter, briefly.

Well-loved child

Ever felt affection-brimmed,filled up with love for someone dear?

Because she knows

Mother's calm,though night will fallspreading darkness over all.

Prayer for peace

Oh God,help Hagar stop her weepingand Sarah begin to laugh once more.

I heard God call

I lay on an altar, Lord,To subtle and foolish sin.

Certainty

There's only one Mind, now.
