Homeless

Teenage pregnancy
single Mother
a shoulder to lean on
and she loves him
like an older brother
Homeless
a blanket spread on straw
upon the breast
her new born baby clings
the first millennium begins

Rainbow Nation

Place of Worship.

Sitting
in the chapel
within my soul
watching
the dawning light
illuminate
prismatic crystal walls

Bursting into colour
like wild flowers
greeting the spring

Here is enshrined
God's beautiful truth

"Peace and Reconciliation"

With God
With self
With those who love
With those who hate

This forgiving sun rises
with healing in it's wings

And by this light
even life's hard knocks
take on a rationality
Breaking
the outer facade
Letting in the light
uncreated.

In the Shadow

The Boy
