      Summer: A Love Story

      Apr 20, 2021

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life

      Joy

      May 5, 2022

      Remember to think on joy, my love.Remember to think on joy. May it be a steamy, hot bath.Or the incredibly long neck of a giraffe. Crunching a leaf.A crooning song-weep. Sandy shifted, foot-tread whispers.Or the ochre-dusty finger paint, that lingers

      High the Garden Grows, Slow the River Flows - Anthony Bianchi

      Thoughts

         Awake

      Each Night

      The Lord Gives Us Rest. 

      And By His Leave,

      We Dream. 

      At Birth  

      We Awake From the Dream.

      And Death

      Is Our Return.

         Play

      Why Do We Suffer?

      Why is Clay Put in the Fire?

      To Make it Strong, 

      And Give it Form.

      I Look Out  

      Into the World,

      And Wonder.

      If the World is a Trap

      Lord Keep Me from It.

      If the World is a Blessing,

      Please Help Me Share It!

      May the World 

      God Willing Be, 

      A Garden, 

      And Never a Prison. 

      For I Believe

      In God's Bright Garden, 

      Enclosed and Beautiful. 

      With Nettles that Sting, 

      And Birds that Sing. 

      And I Believe

      In God's Heartstring, 

      An Orchestra Of One.

      Though I Cannot Say, 

      Only Play. 

         Garden

      Thank You Lord

      For Sweet Repose, 

      And Diamond-Studded Days.

      For Destiny, 

      To Sweeten Souls 

      In Oh So Many Ways!

      Without Your Light
