Reflection

St Walburga Monastery front yard

Sparkled reflection on green grass fluttering.

Different sunlight than the last.

Cool, sharp but not obliterating. Light blue silence.

Hear the leaves tremble. Hear the end of anguish.

Over the rainbow surly nomenclature ceases.

Incomprehension vanishes.

America, America, my heart is with you.

Though the walls outside shake with your mistakes,

blustery men who ruin everything gather.

They cover their deeds with misnomers, 

making unconscionable decisions,

hiding in their own darkness.

I know your name. I know your intent.

Here in the sanctuary, I forget your awfulness.

Possibilities fill the voids left by events past.

The psychic tendencies of such a place remain 

powerful against your destructive foolishness.

See the torment melt. Evaporated in the 

seed of creation.

With every hope comes a smile of justice.

Perhaps it inhabits the mind only, but no matter.

The day is done when new breath emerges 

on the page of your life.

Drink in the verdure freshness.
