A Good Day
It's a good day,
the laundry is folded
and put away--
at least for a day or two.
It's a good day,
the wind chill factor
is within a tolerable level,
at least while wearing
a hoodie and a wool sweater.

February Rain
Gray morning clouds foretell
a chilly day
and rain.
Winter angels carry
cold raindrops
depositing them
on Las Vegas
sidewalks and streets.

Wednesday Afternoon
A pristine blue sky,
and a slight chill in the air
engenders thoughts of spring,
while encouraging gratitude's prayer
for another interesting winter day.

Inspiration
Inspiration falls
like the spring's warm rain
when I read the words of Baha'u'llah.

Chocolate Questions
Can you see the taste of chocolate?
Can you hear the sound it makes
as it melts in your mouth?
Can you feel its silky radiance
as it flows down your throat?

Winter Memory : The Wind
t began
by whispering
through the olive tree,
it shouted through the stone pine limbs,
the windchill froze
the marrow in my bones,
and sent ice spiders
crawling
up my spine.
Goose bumps rose on my bare arms,
and not even
a sweater could warm me;
I remembered winter
in Oklahoma.

Winter Clouds
Winter clouds gather
bringing back memories of
snowy Oklahoma winters,
when Grandma made hot chocolate
and baked pumpkin pies.

Food for My Soul
Word by word,
sentence by sentence,
paragraph by paragraph,
and page by page
I consume food of the spirit
revealed by Baha'u'llah.
The scripture of the Blessed Beauty
feed my soul
with the bread of life,
and wine of immortality.

Winter Days
On beautiful winter days,
when the sky is blue
and the sun shines bright
my muse takes flight
when I hear a spiritual
or a gospel song;
it's at these moments
that I write
odes to the Glory of God.
