Hester's Prayer

Now I lay me down to sleep,

I pray my heart, your love to keep.
Your arms to hold me through the night,
And keep me safe till morning's light.

Now I lay me down to sleep,

I pray my heart, your love to keep.
Your sense to guard me through the night,
And keep me safe till morning's light.

Now I lay me down to sleep,

I pray my heart, your love to keep.
Your blood to warm me through the night,
And keep me safe till morning's light.

Now I lay me down to sleep,

I pray my heart, your love to keep.
Your kiss to heal my soul, my  pains.
Oh cleanse my deeds, my love,  of their foul stains.

 If,  I should live another day,
I pray your hand in mine to guide my way.

Haiku

To  think just one thought
And say it with clarity.
Beautifully simple.

This time of year

A much lower sun,

shadows are a lot longer

at this time of year.

#1

Elegant cadence 

Hot rain on corrugated 

Metal roofing 

#2

Your face in shadow

Is a dusk breaking into

Perpetual dawn

I remember her saying........

No more than a Tweet’s

worth of words, she said. That means

me using my head!

             Chris.

Counting with fingers?

Write what you know. Count

on your fingers, one to five

then one to seven

Sex & Death

It has been said that
Marriage is the death of sex.
Try being single.

Season's Greetings

Holy birth of child,
Ugly, frantic, shopping hell,
Happy Christmas all!

Christmas Truth

Does she still believe?
Who is kidding who this year
About Santa Claus?

It’s too early!

Oh not again-WHY?

Really don’t need to wake now

I need sleep and how!

             Chris

Only three lines

Not a lot of room

to get all the words written

needs to be precise 


             Chris

Well you did ask! V11

I don’t need this stress!

You asked my opinion.

             Chris

Well you did ask! V1

You did ask for my

opinion. Now just stress.

Thanks for the advice John!

“Write it down” he said

or soon it will go from head

then that thought is dead
