Wisdom

Would you give up your livelihood

load your possessions in the car

to drive across the country

following a star?

Would you sling your worldly goods

into a bag across your back

and trek across the globe

with your treasure in a sack?

At the end of your journey

would you lay it at the feet

of a helpless homeless infant

whose parents you chanced to meet?

That one man would do this

is amazing beyond belief

but if you searched the world over

can you imagine finding three?

The Color of Snow

The trees all know

the color of snow

isn't the white

you see all around.

There is an after glow

from fallen snow

as if a rainbow

fell to the ground.

The colors fly

back to the sky

in the dusk

as the sun goes down.

The Evening Star

calls from afar

and the rainbow

returns to her crown.
