A Lamp Blown Out Too Early
My Heart Grew Older That Day Death was a lamp quietly blown out at dawn,Before I could finish showing you how to live.You went like a bird vanishing into thick mist,Still listening for my voice, still believing I would follow.

The Saucer That Sold 547 Cats

We often take people for granted.
We mistake simplicity for ignorance.
We forget that experience quietly sharpens the mind.

Because We Were Carried
Because We Were Carried At the very end of this year,When days grow tiredAnd time sits down beside us,We do not ask for more. We bow. To the unseen Presence,Those who walked with us this year.In many faces,Many hands,Many sacrifices,We whisper this prayer. Bless the farmers,Who spoke to the soil with trust,Who waited through heat
