My window is much like altar–

Heaven’s pale light falling soft

On terracotta tiles I love

I could almost reach them

If I tried…feel the warmth

Of God’s strong hands

Perhaps look in His eyes–

Tall-stacked books on

Bless-ed Table, prayers

I’ve prayed, likely forgot

If they were selfish

Ones, but not for those

Of everyone I knew

Wishing to know better–

I prayed they’d live

If they were dying

Prayed I’d forgive

What can’t be changed…

While penning poems

My twilight letters

And watching for

Candles in the sky
