Raspberries
Sunshine, heat, and wind;
vine scratches and bug bites on my bare
unshaven legs.
All that’s seen of her above the patch,
is the red bandanna in her hair.
She hollers to “Hold tight, and don’t spill the pail!”
I was once her, and we were once
another.
We are the vine that shoots from vine,
yet carries the same sweet fruit,
the same thorns, and twists with both the old for a time
and then the new for a time. I
Mother.
Black birds
They sit beside
the cut browned stalks
and nibble on fallen corn seeds.
At the slightest sound of approach
they congregate in the sky;
a whirl of
spinning words
that will soon tumble
towards the harvested field
never again to land
in the same formation.
.
Mine
On those darkest days
when demons dance at your door
I will hold you tighter
and love you even more.
When they try to break in
and capture your precious heart
I'll help you stand so strong
they'll surely ever part.
If they actually seize your soul
I'll run right after it
and even chase them to the door
of Satan's dark and fiery pit!
Then on the wings of eagles
we’ll fly above the earth
towards the sun and clear blue sky;
an eternal second birth.
And to the farthest reaches
of recorded and everlasting time
I’ll be light and comfort
I am yours and you are Mine.
