I can still see #Katahdin #MountKatahdin

I can still see Katahdin,
in my mind, in my imagination.
The Mountain's image is imprinted,
on my spirit, on my soul...

Katahdin is different in each season,
but the Mountain is majestic, in power;
The Great Mountain remains,
for me to dream, to conjure at will...

I can still see Katahdin,
in my mind, in my imagination.
The Mountain's image is imprinted,
on my spirit, on my soul...

Seeking to describe #Color

In so many poems, too many to number,
seeking to describe color, to define,
nuance, the variations, shades, hues,
textures even, weight, and wetness…
 
Speaking in language of truth, finality,
when there is no anchor, whimsy only,
no scale to measure, no frame of reference,
no gage, no wheel, nothing to count against…
 
So much is subjective, proprietary language,
a palette for merchandise, another for nature,
living color on a canvas, on living sculpture,
in living things, creatures, in the world…
 
In shapes, alive in the moment, experience,
in woods, on the seashore, in images,
too many to number, striving, yearning,
to get the color, the words just right…

Living flesh shimmering

Living flesh shimmering, quickening,
alive under the dewdrops, captured,
a gem of color, hard to describe,
though I long to give the pigment voice
to sing of its existence…
 
Darker than candy-apple red, crimson,
more alive than blood, almost metallic,
Ruby in its name, in creation, but deeper,
there is more than that to its shade,
wet color drawing me in…
 
Seeing a dark sorbet, not raspberry,
blueberry or even blackberry, darker,
Boysenberry only, tasted once in Chicago,
a bit of perfection, while crocuses and daffodils
were buried, in new-fallen snow, forty years ago….

A Yearning in our spirit

A Yearning in our spirit
for God’s loving presence,
for the living waters, God’s Spirit,
God’s love flowing, welling up
within us, through us, filling us,
being poured, poured out,
an endless process, repeating,
A blessing to the world…

Our spirits run, panting – v2

Our spirits run, panting,
A yearning deep with us,
seeking You only, longing,
to be in Your presence, oh God,
to feel that You are truly with us…
 
Our spirits run, panting,
after living water, provision,
Your love, our daily bread,
Longing for You only, forever,
our Creator and our God…
 
Our spirits run, panting,
to be in Your presence, with You,
for You are our protection, our hope,
in You alone we are safe, we are healed,
in You we have life, breath…

Oh, may we rise #Isaiah40:31

Oh, may we rise, higher,
May we fly, may we rise,
On new-found wings, on wings,
May we soar like eagles, rising,
Above our mortal coil, our struggles,
May we join the heavenly chorus,
May we sing our praises unto God…
 
Oh, may we run, free,
May we dance, may we sing,
In our struggle, in our trials, joyful,
May we know that God is our strength,
May we be renewed within us, may we run,
May we not grow weary, may we persevere,
May we walk and not grow faint…

They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not grow faint.”
