Poem Title: I Am

11/28/2014

I am the silent brush of an owl’s wing...

I am the peculiar reassurance found in the
mew of a watchful night bird…

I am the lemon light in a baby’s
laughter, the same beacon caught
inside a tear of sea glass...

I am the slender thread that lassoes
two hearts that love…

When a young boy grieves--
it is my hand that returns the lost toy…

I am the why and how in a 
very, very old man’s reverie…

I am the flint that strikes against the edge
of a star and the imagination.

I am the one who knew you
long before you
ever called out my name.

Lovely poem, engaging imagery.
Like the website style. And your style! Who knew you had yet another major talent! Impressive.
A little hard to read delicate type against the photograph background
though.

As a practicing Catholic (do we ever get perfect?) I relate to and applaud the content of your new site, referred to me by a mutual friend of ours named Tony. I agree with the commenter who said that the type is too hard to read against your photo backgrounds. If you keep the images, I would suggest somehow softening them (screening?) so that your type stands out sharp and clear. Congratulations and God bless.

Richard: I am working on the type and photo background issue. Thanks for your suggestion. See today's blog bit: On "The Catholic 'Man-Crisis'"
Let me know what you think.
And for your interest see THE NEW EMANGELIZATION.COM site. It is very informative. Thanks again.

This poem is absolutely beautiful. God surrounds us with His presence and His beauty. I read your blogs backwards from most current to least and the part about capitalizing pronouns referring to God reminded me of my days in the Lutheran parochial school that I attended for grades 1-8. We always did this and I have always wanted to return to that practice. Now I will! Congratulations on your blog. I have decided that I'm reading yours and Father Barron's for all of Advent.
