Thoughts About Mary

Drift back
To hitch hiking
Along a Texas highway
Rolling like tumbleweeds
Errant
As the wind
That grabbed my Air Force hat
And sent me running across the prairie

Mary laughed...


Simple Raptures

Another day
The first day
Of the rest of Eternity
Infinity...
Afloat
In my grandson’s backyard pool
With a couple of clouds thrown in
Afloat
In sunshine, and a little wind
Now and then
Raptures, simple and mighty...
Fine
