EVE

Thru' its heaven this planet spins.

Night awakes to nurse her twins.

She suckles both upon her breasts;

One is evil, the other then rests.

She further feeds a famous fable--

She knows that Cain will murder Abel.

The stars come out to steal my breath;

Night has nursed her infants--Sleep & Death.

Stained Glass

Washed in light, yet stained to screen

The light within, without.

I pray the Lord will wash me clean

Thru' death & darkest doubt.

I traced His love in a rainbow's curve;

I find it when I search.

I feel it when I'm made to serve,

A window to the church.
