what holds
the snowflake to the leaf
but hope and faithful buoyancy
There It Was
the infinitesimal star
perhaps I didn’t see
but surely I believed
The Work Of Faith
grain in the silo
barn full of hay
devotions made each day
Meeting The Sweet By And By
a buoyancy of clouds
above the embers
of the day
Every Bloom A Manifestation Of Faith And Hope
she came indoors
with her mission to carry us
through our long winter days
Seen From Above
heaven’s clouds recognize
the tiny speck
as the church’s steeple
Into The Unknown
surrender
with complete abandon
to life’s plan
Resurrection
spring hopes rise
like mist lifting
from the morning mountain
So Often Forgotten
time carries
me through my
transgressions of faith
Cheered On
the faltering spirit
finds footing and support
in the solace of the garden
Buddha and the Dutchmen
community gathers
in the shadow
of faith
Many Ways of Faith
druid’s lent
the purple leaf
a passion to believe
Irregardless
in the sunless day
lift your head
anyway
Faith
be still
in the darkness
for the light will find you
Alighted
hope
is faith’s comrade
keeping us afloat
Field’s Erudition
solitary walk
a revelation of light
darkness cannot hold
Carried
leap of faith
the heron’s flight
all my dreams are carried
Water Temple
elements in worship
limbs raised in prayer
reflection of faith
Faithful
every bud’s opening
was a restoration
of faith
Faith Confirmed
the promise
always kept
spring’s return
Eventually
what separates us
will shatter or melt
if we stay with love
Taking Suggestions
at the Buddha’s suggestion
the wind and tree united
to place a reminder of faith
Ascension
through the mist
a birch ascends
confident of heaven
Emergence
wisdom lies
in the embrace
of not knowing
Entheogen
like the leaf and vine
hope and faith entwined
Sky Light
a ray of light
within the dark
rekindles hope
and warms the heart
Gleaming
traverse the inevitable darkness
in honor of the gleaming
of the morning sun
Exalted
morning light
never fails
to lift us
Faith
the beginnings of new leaves
answer the question of faith
Unseen
beneath the white
in the waking earth
seeds begin their first stirrings
