Orange Horizon

Two being from one seed, a dicot indeed
Like evil and angel who hover each shoulder
With love-hate, agony and smolder

Deliverance to come, by root freed
Hidden regression - thou reveal
The devil refused, no more to steal

Unearth Unearth!  To preserve of self
Climb out of this hole
Cast into the light; to save of soul

So may the sun come out, to vibrantly lead
In colors of red yellow.  And pure of white
To find my fruit, my spirit delight

Merger of sage yellow
Passion of red
Bring forth an orange glow, joy instead!

Victory cometh suit,
Change your root to a fruit!!!!

Closer Than It May Appear

Photo by Vicki Heschke Crossing the prairies o’er old swirling seas Cloudy and gray with fresh fallen snow. Nested in green, in a wreath of pine trees, A wondrous tower rises; its truth to know. The seas long ago did slowly abate Leaving flat land of grass and of rock. Here Lakota camp where they migrate As young girls sing to a swirling hawk. Early rays of the warm spring sun Bears do wake, each groggy in dens. Distant sounds of girls having fun Hunger surging, bears signal their friends. The laughter rises; the bears start to chase Turning to shrieks as the beasts come near. A big rock ahead, tho’ now it’s a race Closing the gap, turning laughter to fear.  Clamber the rock; its safety girls seek A circle is formed, clasped hands very tight. Pray they must; the Great Spirit does speak The ground starts to shake as day turns to night Angry and clawing, bears growl and grumble The rock, as it rises, now heard a fierce groan! Yet climb as they might, down do they tumble Leaving claw...

I, Newton, in science doth e’er believe tho’ ne’er the same of the Trinity. Gravity begs my mind to retrieve that Rationalism reveals my true affinity. Anguished am I, these thoughts I doth harbor "Apostasy!" they’d say, I hide them from view. Writing in my journal reveals my ardor, Science or God? Canst but one be true?   To think, to behold, to study and wonder my thoughts of God, written to none. For secrets remain, the Clergy doth ponder: "Is it science or God? There is only One!"   The Forest for me that most reverent God, upon its branches my mind doth see. Idolatry to Three beckons a fraud as the apple does fall so close to this tree.   The shoulders of Kepler, Galileo and Boyle support unyielding this long arc of science. Enlightened our minds, a lab we doth toil’d to unlock the secrets, tho’ in God, show defiance.   Then Science it is! The optics are clear. The numbers don’t lie, calculus is real. Inertia and motion, equal, opposite - no fear. Predictabl...
