TAKE A DIP

by

Louise Bartholomew

The mountain pool

refreshes, restores

momentarily

The pool of divinity within

refreshes, restores

eternally.

 

AT LAST

by Holly Heiser

God is such a patient teacher

For this struggling

slow-learning creature

 

It's dawning on this child at last

To give up patterns of the past

What I groped for from without

Is not what life is all about

 

Within, with God my peace is found

There happiness & love abound

Simple discovery yet is profound,

 

Thank you, God

I've finally come 'round!!

 

OUTSIDE MY WINDOW

by Marie J. Ross

When I open my window

his light is my muse, air

becomes my eyes blinking

on his splendors.

 

I see the tall oaks shade like

his brush painting strength

on their roots and branches

like father time.

 

Mother spring brings blossom

in collage of hue, she swings her

skirt and they become flowers,

little hats and colorful blouses

swirling scent, the creator's gift

to us.

 

Outside my window his light is

my pen the eyes to his magnificent

beauty and sounds of nature.

And I thank him for blessing me

with the wonder of his muse.

 

CHOICE

by Louise Bartholomew

The Lord created you and you

 

and me

 

Invited us to share

 

eternity

 

Commanded us to love

 

each other

 

Not only self

 

Also brother

 

How do we this commandment keep?

 

Your choice

 

To have as your goal

 

Lip service or soul

 

And so, shall you reap!

 

 

 

 

HOW GOD AND FARMERS FEEL

by Louise Bartholomew

I ate a peach, and just for fun

I stuffed the pit into an earth filled

pot. Whimsy was rewarded.

It grew--a twig pushed up

a leaf fluttered in the breeze.

Amazed, I smiled

and blessed it.

 

Another season and there is

a blossom on the branch.

Bees hover, then depart.

A miracle grows--A

peach appears!

And I know how

God-and farmers feel.
