white flash, cleansing laser light
Father to a child-
love mightier than accusing conscience.

the silver lining is permanent
outshining the mystery of sin

into stillness after the cacophony
ever deeper birthed awareness
- a benevolent presence
a universal personal love

to tap a superpower
you need not be a super hero

the spirit, hidden
sings within the song

the ghostly singer-
silent to the worldly ear

gives freely and when asked
to any who should call

Dear, You Know Who You are.

Bless me Father for I have
sinned.

It has been twenty four
months since last i

looked
in the mirror.

Forbid me not the long
vowels of my
Poems, the

caesura of love in

the Winter in Wisconsin.

Summer's in the
Lake.  There's fire in
my old dreams

And you.

glimpses through the veil
and Sunlight across the sea

the communication of mirrored faces
and the touch of eternity
