Bicentenary Poems and Prose

Reading Sacred Scriptures

Reading Sacred Scriptures:
To The Blessed Beauty

Honey dew condensed
On leaves of the Tree of Life
Quench my spirit's thirst

Peace roses refresh
Morning air of God's new day
Rouse seekers from sleep

Jazz ensemble sings
Gospel music revealing
The Glory of God

Rainbows dance across
Dark clouds of dawn scattering
The forces of night

Silken threads woven
Molecule by molecule
Embrace scattered thoughts
