Signs and Wonders
Hidden away
For me to find
To discover
Secret treasures
Or surprises
Early spring buds and flowers
The haron circling me
Then landing on the beach below
The sea lion
Lifting head from the water
Barking greetings to all
The fog laying down
On the water
Surrounding the island
Like a blanket
Majestic Volcano
Radiant in white
All call me to pay attention
To notice the beauty
Of Creator
Signs of love
Wonders to ponder

The voice sometimes takes over,
all good intentions of course,
but it forgets
the ears have a job to do as well.
As the lips move, passion builds
as a case is made,
losing connection with the heart of the other,
forgetting the words of the Holy Book:
“Be quick to listen,
slow to speak
slow to become angry.”
How much better to first give the ears
their chance,
rein in the tongue of fire,
and opinions for awhile
Be prepared to learn from another’s
point of view.
Wisdom’s treasures
are often found
in hidden places,
for the quick to listen
to hear them.

Pieces of God
Treasures
Hidden in all the earth
Until we see them
And wonder how we had
Missed the evidence
Of their existence
Am I one?
With His DNA
Hidden like a diamond
To be discovered
In my heart?
