Peek-a-boo with an Old Friend

And why are you so coy tonight?
Don't hide behind the tree.
Come out, come out from where you are
Come out and visit me! I see you peeking out at me,
I know you want to play,
And I have sorely missed your face;
You've been so long away
Ah, there you are my gallant lad,
It’s such a joy to see
That you have come back round again
To laugh and play with me!

Sagebrush and Sunflowers


A fun fact that I did not know... Sagebrush is in the daisy family!

Rain and the Wrinkled Land

I watch the dry and wrinkled land
Renewed by cleansing rain,
Across the mountains spill the clouds
To wash it clean again.

The dust of weary centuries,
Piled up by nature’s hand,
Gives way as storm clouds sweep across
The dry and wrinkled land.





Whooooo Watches the Watchers?



The Place Between Sunlight and Shadows

The place between sunshine and shadows
That place where the day meets the night
When the bright hillsides first darken
In the sun's last flickering light
The place between sunshine and shadows
That place where the cool night begins
There where the first glimpse of moonlight
Is wrapped in the soft fuchsia winds

The place between sunshine and shadows
The place where old mysteries still dwell
The place where daylight and darkness
Each have their own secrets to tell

The World Washed Clean

The darkness lowers o’er my world
And sorrow drips like rain;
The chill that seeps into my heart
Awakens all my pain.

Then from the grey breaks forth the sun
To dry earth’s bitter tears,
And beauty, that was lost in mist
Now suddenly appears.



Oh Blessed Savior, Precious Lord
Releasing me from pain;
Dissolving tears and bitterness
As sunlight melts the rain
