There is Joy

Walking in the deep twilight
The laugh of a child breaks through
Another joins in blending mother and child.
Joy was over there.
A pink haze runs free upon a now darkened sky
Last of the colors of night
Gazing upon it
Joy was here
Pushing the swing to the sky
A granddaughter's wish
Bringing giggles, skirt all a furl
Joy was there
Morning from a kitchen window
A fawn and it's sibling
Dancing, frolicking around their mother
Joy was here
A child speaks of their deepest desire
My ears hear
My heart is tickled
There is joy here, there, everywhere.
Have an ear to hear
A heart that is open
This is a gift
Receive it...with joy.

This Evening

Long sing the crickets
Soft glows the moon
No breeze blowing
Sun comes too soon.

Evening is magic
Deer make their way here
Standing close by
Frogs croaking near.

A dog calls to dogs,
Their sentinel sounds
Soft glows the moon,
Peace still abounds.

Come now let's sleep.
Eyes close and pray.
Here we shall dream
Of sweet new day.
