Silent Wings Of Prayer

Cranes ascend into heaven
soaring like angels
in the pentecostal sun.
They rise from the crystalized
stillness of the water
and the light of their transcendence
illuminates the stained-glass
windows of the morning.
A symphony of winds
resonates through the columns
of the tree-lined cathedral
as silent wings of prayer are lifted
by the whispered words of God.

Children Of The Dawn

As the morning breath of life
stirs the sleeping
children of the dawn,
the ragamuffin scarecrow
lifts his lopsided head
and listens to the murmurs
of a thousand whispered prayers.
