Glimpse

Glimpse

I have seen a glimpse of angels

Right here on the porch

This morning eternity was in the creek

Meandering through time’s torch

While those of the highway overpass

Went by toward their destinations

All the while they still went by

The creek moved still in contemplations

It always has, it always will

So I rest here in my chair in the sun

The hovering came, watching my watching

Then came a display of the bright heavenly ones,

Which I happened to simply catch in a moment

Yes, it was more than mere reflections

But it was much better than a nothing, naught

It was a marvelous resurrection

I didn’t need an answer, 

I didn’t need to know

I simply needed beauty

To remind me it was so

Midst

Something about this picture reminds me of me

Formed by volcanic activity

Rocks and desolation everywhere

Yet

Signs of life breaking out in the midst

Water, though frozen, is present

Promising more

More life, more goodness, more refreshing

All of this covered in the cloud

And even in the desolation

It is beautiful
