At the City Square

The flow of traffic
By the petal-strewn fountain
Dogs sleep in the sun

Untitled

Twelve-tone music
At the University
By the rose garden

Time's Prolation

The warm Wisconsin lake,
Dad took us there in Summer
And last night's dream

On Enoch

When Enoch walked with God as the sun rose
And the night closed, they trod
As the wind made the trees nod
Creatures ev'rywhere were awed

Journey

The silent river
Through the desert of the mind
To the heart's harbor

On Quietism

The ocean is calm,
A gentle wind fills the sail --
The presence of God

Grove of Time

Silent redwood trees --
For centuries I have stood
Beside their cool calm
