Master Class

In the midst of the silent still - in the pause of 
buzzing busy - silken as the tip of infant curl 

In the midst of the still - in the pause of busy

clinks the crystal pearlescent peal of 
a single chime

in a cupped bowl

single silvery drop

echoing

listen

now

The glory of a misplaced Monday

The glory of a misplaced Monday 

eyes still shut - my mind runs

the day - adjusting the empty

spaces - searching the smile to

send as you leave - and you will

leave - off to the doings of your

happy day - leave me the emptied 

uncoupled hours ... I, scurry scratch

penciled-in pretend usefulness, 

rough-scatter-sketch meandering,

minuscule,  meaning ... and then ... 

though I do not by nature nor faith

nor temperament practice the 

falling to the knees of many 

I fall to my knees in grateful

supplication - uncurling - 

loosening - breathing -

with unclenched heart

opening - opening - 

to this glorious 

gifted Sunday

when you are

here with me

after all.
