never having seen
leaves one unprepared to grasp
complete joy of awe

on clear winter day
one can see a long, long way
almost into spring
2017.01.31: stirrings
at sight’s outer edge
dark wings rising from shadows
handful of ravens
2016.05.23: focus
eyes catch moving lights
reflections in coffee cup
swimming on surface
difficult to hook and reel
being still brings clarity

But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his native place and in his own house.” And he did not work many mighty deeds there because of their lack of faith. – Mt 13:57-58
forgive me for each time
i did not see a prophet
trying to show me the truth
no matter his origin
forgive me for each time
i did not allow a priest
to perform any miracle
no matter her appearance
forgive me for each time
i did not offer a king
the treasures given in my care
no matter his condition
grant me the eyes of a child
to see anew your wonders
hidden in ordinary things
let me see the Jesus in the mirror
