Crest Of Wave

There is a line of beauty
Which should not be missed
It is as if ones duty
Is the nature of which is to be kissed

It is more than one could hope for
To find the pencil top
Among such a scattering of leaves

Yet with persistence, and lateral thinking
Also by taking an alternative perspective
The pencil top is found

Now back to that line of beauty
Just before the waters fall
It is as if ones duty
Is to be placed here waiting for the call

White Bridge

To be so sure of oneself
Yet also to be aware
Of the hurt
And the indifference

To know that it is the I that does go on
Yet to map out
To search out
To deliver the ever deeper significance

Lauds

How might I save my love
For all of the love that I have known
How might I live a life of love
Embracing all of the love that I have known

Should the day begin with the early morning
In joyful supported meditations, opening my eyes
As the light enters from the darkness
Opening my soul; thankful that I am who I am

Vigils II

To hear the Latin is a privilege
Also a route, a pathway
To one who I also know loved the Latin

Might I one day learn a few words
Explore the translated feelings of care and love
Ego autem diligunt te, quia te amo, ego amare

Vigils I

How lucky I am
To begin my day this way
To see, and hear, and feel the joy
Of the monks; praying, and chanting, and singing
O come let us adore him
O come let us adore him

Odd that I should pitch my focus
On the thirteen amp twin sockets
A metaphor for a working life I knew so well
A switch into a life I really don’t know so so well at all
World without end
World without end
