everything tries to be round

...and while i stood there
i saw more than i can tell
and i understood more than i saw;
for i was seeing in a sacred manner
the shapes of things in the spirit,
and the shape of all shapes as they must
live together like one being.

full flower moon

i saw her tonight just as
she was topping the treeline
stopped me in my tracks, she did
and oh, how she did shine!
the full flower moon never lacks
for admirers or devotees
but strange as it sounds,
(and i know that it does!)
i think she took notice of me

call to worship

today, the paper wasps
invited me to worship
in their cathedral
i thought the rose window
was especially beautiful

near

when i think of you
i remember the moon
and make wishes
on all the stars
that my arms were longer
