The Nightingales Calls1

The nightingale calls,
Out of the darkness that hides the dawn,
His melody echoes across the valley of shadows,
Waking from sleep the lovers of light.

The nightingale calls,
Out of the light that veils the dawn,
His song echoes across the chaos of morning,
Rousing from slumber lovers of God.

Thursday Poem2

I don't want to watch world news today,
I just want to write and pray.

I might write a poem,
story,
or essay
about something positive
I have to say.

I will take a walk in the house,
because the excessive heat warning
prevents me from going out.

Gratitude List for 14 Kalimát

Today I am thankful...
          ...that my Bank of America checking account is not overdrawn today.
          ...that I had chocolate covered doughnuts with my coffee this morning.
          ...that I have 1051 points in My Survey account.
          ...that we have bottles of 16 oz bottles of water in the refrigerator, because it is easier to handle that size water when I'm working at the computer.
          ...that we have working air conditioning in the living room, because today it got up to, at least, 111 in Las Vegas.

Happy Thankful Thursday!

I am focused
on the moment,
doing one project
or one review
at a time.

I am focused today
on the present
without worry
about the future
or the past.

Tomorrow
may be different,
but for today
I am focused;
which is all that
is necessary.
