Writing in cursive – v8

Telephone lines, power lines
straight lines, dotted lines, staccato,
the spaces in between them,
Creating writing templates
a second-grade worksheet
of yellow lined paper
Hung on the clear blue sky...
 
A seagull appearing, dancing,
soaring, climbing beside me driving,
rising, falling, tracing, drawing,
Writing in cursive, longhand script,
Flying between the curved lines
words forming, some in upper-case,
some in lower-case letters...
 
The flick of its wings, its feathers
Carving a line, flared, elongated,
like a quill pen writing, in even strokes,
words, a masterpiece, elegant,
Drawing Japanese characters
rising through the divided lines
Climbing, soaring, ever higher, higher.

shore birds, water birds - v2

shore birds, water birds,
birds of prey, of leisure,
More birds than I have seen,
too many to number.
 
so many birds on the water,
on the lawns, in the trees,
on the power lines, soaring,
Flying above us, dominion.
 
climbing, diving, swooping,
getting caught in the thermals,
More birds than I have seen
too many to number.

the raptors, their carrion

raptors floating on the thermals
wings outstretched like fingers
looking for movement, motion,
To dive in for the kill.
 
more often the raptors, their carrion,
opportunists in, beside, the roadways,
but sometimes leaving a carcass,
A meal for another day.

Seek #God’s #Heart – v2

Seek God’s heart
His calling, our purpose,
His way, His presence,;
Feel His Spirit, His guidance,
our path in this season.
 
Seek God’s heart
His calling, our purpose
in prayer, in listening;
Hear God’s still small voice
speaking in the stillness.
