FUELED BY GOD

I have written a poem to celebrate how I feel about all the expressions of God's life all around me.  It was inspired by Gemma, my goat sister, giving birth to twin kids, a boy and a girl on 5/14/2010.  (By the way, her mother, Nibbles, had twin boys two weeks ago -- but she's done this before so no big deal.)

PENTECOST 2010

Land of 40 acres,

pond, grasses, trees,

wild birds, pheasants and deer.

Little goat,

first-time mother,

bearing, caring for kids

perfectly

without lessons!

Sunrise, moonset, always on time;

stars overhead directed by seasons;

wind song, crickets and frogs.

Clare's Well,

what's this responsiblitiy

humans claim to have for you?

With cats and Collie who know your boundaries

and speak your name,

you thrive on creatures

fueled with God's DNA.
