Highways for the Angels

They say they're highways -
these Rocky Mountain Creeks
Highways for the Angels
as they run from heaven to earth
Splashes are their steps
high laughter in the spray

Come to me O Blessed One
down the Highway for the Angels
       Lenten Hymn

Vespers and candles
litanies... count them
ashes, novenas
the cloistered one's hymn

these sins are all strung
black beads on the thread
that breaks and scatters
on the altar they're bled

To the One who has died
to the One who lives still
I lay down my obsessions
the wisp of my will

vespers
candles
hymns

Ashes to ashes
forgive me again
to the One who lives on
I lay down my sin
SKY

WITH DOVE'S WINGS
AND EAGLE'S EYES
I SEARCH FOR YOU
TO KNOW THE HEART OF YOU
AND TO DWELL IN THE DEPTH OF YOUR SKY
