You Hear Me

Lord, You heard my cry

When all the No’s

The stops

Blocked paths

And closed doors

Stood like stonewalls in my way

You reached down to me

Promising

With Your hand in mine

To walk the unknown with me

Then my heart had peace

Give me strength in my afflictions, Lord

I cannot go into the dark night alone

Alma 31: 30&31

…O Lord, wilt thou give me strength, that I may bear with mine infirmities…

…O Lord, wilt thou grant unto me that I may have strength, that I may suffer with patience these afflictions which shall come upon me…

New Tricks

Teach the dog new tricks

Old, old, or young

Don’t let them lie

Complacent

And teach the cats

Send them away with tutors

Bid the mice work quantum wonders

Each one flocking together

Playing in fields of insight

Cold

Snowy earth revels in winter’s chill

Hiemal ermine covering every hill

Gelid nights and frigid days

Paint the lakes in icy glaze

While blasting wind benumbs eyes

Cheeks, and lashes; frosting  gloveless fingers

Piercing polar coats and arctic boots

And snowflakes recolor winter suits

Hiemal - relating to winter
Gelid - extremely cold
