We are moons, not suns, except in our ability to pass on the light. Our life is not our own; yet, at some level, enlightened people know that their life has been given to them as a sacred trust. – Fr.

Dark Trees

On a clear night dark trees

against a dark sky

all but disappear.

Tonight, cloud cover

filters the city's lights.

A fog curtain listens

as if after the last note

of the Moonlight Sonata

has drifted into where

there ought to be the moon.

Fall leaves on that eighty-foot

Sycamore across the street

stand out in place of missing stars.
