worship as
an acorn eaten
a devotion left
Pilgrimage To The Squirrel Bench
The Work Of Faith
grain in the silo
barn full of hay
devotions made each day
Hope’s Devotion
even as
winter’s darkness gathers
color and light persist
Devotion To Grey
late February days
when daytime
feels like twilight
Columbine Consecration
garden prayers
in the morning light
a flowering devotion
The Ascetic
a monk of a moth
in birch bark robes
prostrate in prayer
Remembrance
solid as stones
the memories
carried
Devotion
to be waited for
and received in love
is the soul of homecoming
Hallowing
outside the church window
the prayer and devotion
of snow
Exaltation
a mass of blooms
a choir of color
a devotion of flowers
Demonstration
as snow recedes devoted pines
demonstrate being green
for leafless trees
Nondenominational Worship
Each blossom in the spire
is a devotion
to the day.
Meditation of the Trees
The birch waves her prayer flags
each flutter a devotion
to the divine.
