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.
