La Luz

Lay your life line

on the sill

Lay it by your baby's

smile...

Though our world's

been set adrift

we still sync up

at three

a.m and p.m.

Soul to soul

eye to eye

we climb...

On the trails

where we have

counted steps

as beads

of prayers 

and sweat...

The dew 

on Queen Anne's Lace

and Baby's breath

guide us through 

the trials

of cross wood

and briers...

To the fields

where all 

is covered

by the sun's

tender love

and the

words write 

themselves...

beginning to end

with the birds

of song

and prey

We are 

caught in awe

and lift...

in the beauty

of the sea

whose lashes

caress the 

shoreline

with

Mother's

kiss...

in tears

separate

yet dear 

and steadfast

through the 

tides of the years

Together

by grace

we grow...

through 

darkness

we plow

Hope

enduring

Light

prevailing.
