For my wife on a rainy day

The river of life is refreshed by God’s Tears.
We fall
And startle the waters.
Rings roll out.
Some only inches.
Others ripple to far shores.
Fortunate you fell in the same spot
As I.
We shall swell together
Travel for a season
And collapse upon the distant sandy beach
As one.
To begin again.

Luke Saucier, January, 2011

Of Resolutions & Prayers

Of resolutions

for this next revolution

I have but one:

It is my resolution to make none.

Of prayers,

For the calendar, new

Again my needs are simple,

I have only two,

One for me and one for you:

Dear Lord, grant me the ability to

forgive, have patience with and love myself.

For it will follow from these

that I will be more humane.

And as for my friend, Dear Lord

won’t you grant him the same?
