****Sunday’s Child Suspended****

sunday’s child suspended
in balanced dreams
is the illusion of time
made of silk threads
strong as dovetailed beams

you see in re-claimed jars
through his eyes untold
tiger striped garden spiders
beauty of captured bees
lifes’ mystery doth unfold

sunday’s child suspended
a cocoon created of time
silk threads weaving a life
unique, tempered and bold
a blended pattern that shines

I have five adult children and many grandchildren but of my five, only one was born on a Sunday and my life’s love and challenge. They are all special in their own ways but Nathan is my Sunday child.

Thread of Life

she is gone and like
the spider web’s
silken thread
becoming unraveled

by a brief gust
of wind you insert
needle with thread
continuing to

weave life into
patterns of loving
understanding and
forgiveness of

why you could not
be there
when she left
to say good-bye
