Misconception

Written 4/27/07, unfinished

She sees it through looking glass.
Reflections only.
Looking back
At distortions of bending light.

She sees it through looking:
Glass reflections.
Only looking back at distortions
Of bending light.

She sees it through--
Looking glass reflections only
Looking back at distortions
Of bending light.

She sees it: through-looking glass.
Reflections.
Only looking back at distortions of bending.
Light!

Proverbs 13:12

Written 4/21/07

A wish
Like trees for rain
Like seed for spring

A hope
Like billowing clouds
Like fragile sprout

A taste
Like sprinkling drops
Like budding rose

A passing
LIke scorching sun... again
LIke April frost

A promise
Like storm-scented wind
Like earth-warming rays
Like heaven-sent peace
