Please excuse my tardiness
Occasionally I stray
Emerging once the visions pass–
Till then I’m far away
Residing in that mystic place
You find in rhyme and play
Please excuse my tardiness
Occasionally I stray
Emerging once the visions pass–
Till then I’m far away
Residing in that mystic place
You find in rhyme and play

Why not take a peek?*

almost a whisper
can you hear it
a child’s voice
obscured by time
overgrown with aging vines
listen
she’s singing
sweet and giddy
singing my name
and I’m opening
myself
to sing along
breathe
mist
and morning
and air
breathe deep
feet reach down
into the grass the earth
plant themselves true as trees
breathe
hands reach out reach up
into air into sky into forever
open to receive
open to bestow
breathe deep
thought waits
open as the air
steady as the earth
a ready spark
breathe
* Dancing with Emily Dickenson 2; from One Glittering Wing, copyright 2020 by Joan Myles*
the air gathers itselfeven as I gather my thoughts
slowly
awaiting fullness
the promise of rain
of words
child of the meadow dances
alive with morning light
awake to brimming breathing things
reborn with passing night
child of the meadow glances
with sudden searing sight
peers into worlds of wondrous wings
perceiving fancy’s flight
child of the meadow trances
inspire as they ignite
imagination dazzling
each moment with delight
Read the text.
Chew the text into bits.
Begin looking for God.
Look in places no one told you to look.

Wonder dangles by a thread–
cleansing rain on daffodil
swift gusts of fancy wild and still
moments in my silent head
*My thoughts are full of this amazing and compassionate man today, so I must share a bit about him. He delivered our youngest child in 1989–at our tiny house in Affton. Such a blessing!*
