seen in my sleep

it was in a dream
that i started stringing and spooling
the lines along
composing
in my sleep.
i thought it a good one, magnificent even
worthy of the readers time, my own to put it down.

of course it slipped from the thread of my memory and  now
i am left bereft
of the thoughts i thought
feeling my way through this tunnel of dank sameness.
wishing
oh wishing
i could
remember
that poem
i composed in my sleep.

show and tell

i will call this show and tell
you show me your heart and tell me your life
own the talent, the love, the soul of you
and therefore reflect the truth
of the father.
the way that you live is incredible.  my friends!  
so intricate, each and every one of us.
the way you see
what you see 
as ordinary, normal
astounds me.
you are a gift!
a palpable taste of god's pleasure in my heart, yours; in the people of the world.

laughter at
the zingers
facts
tidbits of life
shared in moments of moments
fill up my heart
and my living room.
and you are wonderful,
all of you.
as is he.
