SELECTED POEMS
Walk to Work
There is a time every morning
When You send tendrils
Of light to the wayside trees:
Leaves whisper in hushed shadows,
Filament ferns glow
Gold on dark of bark.
On most days, I pass these by,
But today I must have stumbled
Upon a perfect light angle:
Branches outspread, shining heavenward
And I learn again that all things
Have their language of praise.
