Thought
Through reflection’s mirror past
Regretful mud dug and cast
No enduring values gained
In ruminations of dirt stained
Through wispy mist short sighted see
Memories scanned so wistfully
And morn brings beauty opaque
For calm and good to overtake
Through rain or shine legs walk
Regardless of what impressions stalk
Good lifts revealed to circumvent
The traps that fruits bring to account
Through probing limbs at every stage
Surroundings better to engage
For knowledge wealth and aptitude
Real treasure contentment, fortitude
Prayer
O infinite peace and patient presence flood my disturbed mind with thee. Displace every wistful regret of the past and replace it with thy glorious light and beauty. Grant that my mind ever delights in thee and as I call on thee, let me too respond to thy call.
