on this eve of eve’s
when we feel love
and loneliness
at their most profound
when we feel
our failures
and our joys
at their most intense
on this eve of eve’s
we recognize something profound
that we live
in that place
always
always
where sacred
and human interface
on that boundary
between the ugly and the sublime
where all that is good and beautiful
collides with all
that is hateful and destructive
on this eve of eve’s
we feel the world tilt
on its axis
and know
in our deepest place
that love
wins
Sorry Duck Dynasty man
Sorry haters
Sorry those who would aid the rich and hurt the poor
your moments
your delusions
may carry the moment
but in the depth of eternity
love wins
____________________________
I salute you!
There is nothing I can give you that you have not;
But there is much that, while I cannot give you
Can take
No heaven can come to us unless
our hearts
Find rest in it today
Find heaven
No peace lies in the future
That is not hidden in this present instant
Take peace
The gloom of the world is but a shadow
Behind it, yet within our reach
Is joy
Take joy
And so at this Christmas time I greet you
And with the prayer that for you
Now and forever
The day breaks the
Shadows flee away
