Dorcas Rising

Like Lazarus before her
she rose at
the command of the shepherd
But this time, it was
the new leader,
the follower now in power
no longer timid,
infused with the spirit
Tabitha, Dorcas, Gazelle
elegant, leaping, rising
a worthy lamb, lost sheep
the shepherd leaving the flock
to care for the one
the one in need
lost to death
But death did not hold them
and they rose
at the voice of the shepherd
they arose

A Spring Rain Song

He was hidden in the nascent
emerging buds of the
lilac branches, singing his
ornate, urgent, compelling song
to the back of the hall
to the ladies, to the heavens
letting the world hear his
beautiful, erudite trill
shared in joy,
piercing the momentary gloom
of the gentle spring rain

Hydroponic

Living fibers
hairs and legs
tendrils, radiating outward
downward to the depths
like albino house centipedes
bursting for attention
in the shafts of glorious
wondrous Easter day light
calling the eye of the attentive
to the beautiful of the roots
suspended in the glass
longing for recognition
for revelation
in the living room

Purple Passion

Purple Passion

Royal, rich, deep purple
brilliant luminous petals
drink the pulse of light
from the fleeting flash
burn the fragrant color
into the cell, cut through
the fog, radiant hue
seal a moment with your power
capture the instant
of purple passion
