A Micro Poetic Way To God

1.

Below on the clouds
the shadow of the plane  ringed
by the sun's aura

  

2.

Known to the pilot
the points along the flight path
the plane banks again

3.

The scape of the clouds
sun-lit below   evoking
the artic circle

  

4.

So matter of fact
the pilot's remarks on the day
here above the clouds

5.

Returning to mind
a bunch of roses  at heart
about to open

  

6.

Love's thousand faces
found in the one truly loved
the rising sun now

7.

The gift of a hand
offered in love   the detail
in the maker's eyes

  

8.

Seventeen years old
by an apple-tree in blossom
all there is to come

9.

In someone so small
as a child just born  the love
of God is restored

  

10.

Renewed and made blessed
at the birth of Christ  the world
reconnects with God

11.

The figure of God
at the centre of heaven
Christ's love has revealed

  

12.

Still catching the light
a half-moon in the morning
a bird passes by
