bubbles of resin, of water - v3


#bubbles of #resin, of #water - v3

Bubbles of resin, of water
perfect round #droplets
pearls, orbs, morphing,
held upon its body, almost attached,
after the morning's soaking rains.

Droplets of water, liquid jewelry
adorned, glistening
gilding each edge, each line,
each capturing my reflection
a cascade of photographs.

Beauty in the intricate detail.
drawn, looking ever closer
pristine droplets, bubbles
a willing model, nervous
not moving, still, after the rains.

bubbles of resin, of water - v2

#bubbles of #resin, of #water - v2

Bubbles of resin, of water
perfect round #droplets
held upon its body
after the soaking rains.

Droplets of water, jewelry
festooned, glistening
each capturing my reflection
a cascade of photographs.

Beauty in the detail
looking ever closer
pristine droplets, bubbles
a willing model, nervous
still after the rains.

bubbles of resin, of water
perfect round #droplets
held upon its body
after the soaking rains

droplets of water, jewelry
festooned, glinting
each capturing my reflection
manifold photographs

Falling like a piece of paper - v2

Falling like a piece of paper - v2

startled by my approach
falling like a #leaf
like a piece of #paper
catching itself, power,
finding #flight

curled like a fan-shaped coil
of long pencil shavings
from bright colored pencils
a manual pencil sharpener
held, turning, in my hands

soaring away, higher,
wings rigged, coiled,
tumbling, falling no longer
rising in the morning sunlight
its wings alive, aglow

curled like a warm potato chip
fresh from the oil, the kettle,
a #moth striking a pose
on the side of the building
many days in a row

Robe yourself in the #Gospel,
put on #Jesus #Christ,
our risen Lord and #Savior,
the Master of our lives.

Put on #righteousness,
the #way, the #truth, the life;
Shine in the darkness
until the world is #light.

embrace them - v2

#embrace them - v2

embrace them
the outcasts, the others,
those #tormented by #demons
those on the outside
ensnared by their past

embrace them
the struggling, the others,
each sister, each brother,
those longing
to enter in
