PICKERING PUGILISTS PASSED BY

FAST SOUL FOOD

Began my pilgrimage
to the church of
the golden arches.

A cash register serves
as a makeshift collection
plat where the alter servers
are both young and old.

Ready to dispense
redemption from the
dollar menu. Holy inspiration
is my truly happy meal.

BABYLON'S POET

Plato's whore died
but not before
giving birth to
a consolation of

a love of knowledge,
divinely inspired,
always to be
discovered.

REFLECTIONS ON JOHN PAUL

A call to bravery,
example was his voice.
Listen to words but
see the deeds.

Seeds of praise bear
fruits of devotion.
Sustenance of the soul
is nourished y Love.

Chosen to be Great,
rewarded with humility.
Blessed are the poor.

BELIEVEING IS SEEING

Expanding into
one, love grows
as faith shows.

Reason focuses
the divine light
of God's illumination.

LIFE'S LENS

Only from a distance
can we see
the smallest part,
minute but vital.

Big or little,
the picture does
not change.
Everything matters.

A MOTHER'S CALL

Daughter of a mother
from heaven
who became a
mother to many

not from her
flesh. Maternal
instincts came
from Love above.

Empowering her to
overcome and become
one with the Lord
through holy transcendence.
