God Only Knows

The wind is blowing hard and fast.

Snow plows scrape and pound across the macadam,

And the world is brightly white.

In four minutes I must flee.

I stare at the Buddha in blue jeans  frothing milk,

Off to my side sits the fur lined hat I borrowed from my son.

When I gaze out the floor to ceiling glass all I see is white.

When I just sit I hear John Prine singing...

“Surround me with your boundless love...”

A day like today screams for compassion

For boundless love.

A day like today focuses the heart.

At day’s end there will be a fire in the fireplace,

Hot cocoa sans marshmallows in my hand,
and a comfy armchair.

A moment to recharge accepted boundless love.
