One wants a taste for this kind of thing.

I agree, there is something quite special in the
presentation that tells about a mystical experience, and
a way of life that has made someone content.
These are good things to have in life.

Colors in a room
White walls, painting aqua tope around orange
sun showsangels emitting fiery elements towards earth.
Heavenward arrangement as raspberry red
wooden chairs around Easter table, at whose center
a chick emerging from mirrored egg
wrought in stained glass.

Making awakening sound filling the many sunlit
windows with musical illuminations.
Expectant new day rising to perform the work of God
in spirit of prayer. Soon united by the wind that
blows many tongued mysteries providence requires.

This is sufficiency, to pray.

On the mountain, in the church, the tendrils
of peace offer forth; stretched open in touch.
The time to speak with God.

Day continues. Work to be done.
Rest comes soon.
Nocturne of dreams will fill and envelope
the space--this room lives with imagination.

By the table sits a blue and gold trunk;
in place there are candles that
are for the inner self, an offering that asks
make dialogue happy. Lit, these are
connected to the mysteries in the church
by the park, communicated
among the other homes.
Lighted candles in the evening,
day ends.

Waiting they state to God:
“O gracious Light,
pure brightness of the ever-living
Father in heaven...”
