Mercy Surrounds You

Psalm 23

Walk through the shadowed

Valley without fearing death

Mercy surrounds you

Immaculate Heart

Protean love which
Adapts its beautiful self
To meet every need

Hibiscus blossom 
Pointing up, towards the light
Seasonal flourish

Delicate blossom

Jade clusters swaying in breeze

Soft colours soothe sight.

Brooding sky, black wings

Extended, threatening all.

Starlings build their nests.

Lourdes

Underground streamlet

Coursing clear, through living rock.

Springs into the light

Immaculate Mary

Saturated with

Love, as grass with morning dew

Mary's gentle heart

2 Timothy 4:6,7

Near at hand is the

Time of my dissolution 

I have kept the faith

Feast of the Transfiguration

Briefly the veiling 

Flesh is transfigured by light.

For eyes that can see.

Proverbs 8/9:35,36

Who finds Me finds Life

All those who hate me love death

Hurting their own souls

Psalms 149:2

Let the children of

Zion be joyful in their King.

Loving hearts rejoice

Eyes

Windows of the soul

Expressive eyes. See farthest

When looking inward

Rusty leaves falling

In slow light russet showers.

Sun's dappled shadows.

The year fades away

Tints become rich, colours deep

Swallows flee sunward 

Slowly rotating

In a downward fluttering

Autumn's herald leaves

Harshly croaking Crow,

Sits funereally clad, 

Waits for carrion

Feather-like fingers

Of cloud across morning sky.

Pointing to the dawn

Enjoy the failing

Light, delight in passing scenes

Dwell in what endures
