Seek the soul's refuge
Welcome to life through the lense of my digital camera and observations in the form of poems and prose. I especially love haiku for the way it playfully paints themes with words. I hope you find a nugget of wisdom or grace that will enrich your life journey (Enjoy... Father Don+)

Becoming Normal
Frozen in its serenness
Hiding the kiln's horror
We who voyeur
In warring attraction and repulsion
Have become complicit in the secret
Of your unnatural creation
And fear the normal
We have created in you
The Dark
Curtains us from the unknown
Imagination taking over
Creating terror
Even horror
With courage to peek
Beyond this curtain
Comes a stillness
Revealing to us
The light
On the other side

Nature's Confessional
Sweep away the blanket of snow and rest
Place your footsteps in the fresh
Fallen snowflakes and make your mark
Soon new snow will fall
And hide the evidence of your visit
Secrets will remain a mystery
Your thoughts are safe
Covered with a fresh blanket
of snow.

The Wall
Brick upon brick
Building a walled city around the good.
Is it the eye of the beholder
As we have been led to believe?
Or the eye of the creator
lovingly glancing around?
Is it ugliness embraced, scars enfolded?
"It is finished!" being uttered?
Is this beauty?
Watching flowers go to seed
how beauty resurrects
in the power of hearts
in loving minds
and in reaching hands
consecrating the darkness as light
this is beauty.

Hideout
A perfect spot
Away from the same old
Body to hold
Not a mansion
Or a comfortable five star
Just an old familiar hideout
A quiet place to unload.
