dark and dreary day
the miserable drizzle
turning into ice
in and out of the water
the geese don’t seem to mind much

2021.02.04: witnessing
a passing moment
the glory of a red sun
poured onto the world
some reflect and some absorb
a few are even transformed
2021.02.01: yoked
life always goes on
no matter who may have fallen
the river flows on
no time to bury the dead
feed the sheep and carry on
2021.01.31: the Shepherd
breaking human rules
teaching with authority
dying prophet’s death
rising He gave one command
yet now most remains unfed
2021.01.25: disturbed
the sound
of placid water
breaking
a blue heron
takes flight
Longing For Water
