Poem: Two Graces

Make Me The Mystery

Drop me Lord
As I drop Thee,
And in the down of
Gentle swallow
Make me the mystery
Of your tomorrow.


May, Again

May
Witness like
April’s sun
Melt the silent snows
Of all our Thanksgivings
And lead lost children
To play in summery fields,
Again.

Forrest Greenwood





Apple Trees

In fall they leave our lives
Like aged parents given over the
Care of others.


In winter they stand back
Like dormant dreams and
Let us pass.


In spring they reach
Like giant nerves to touch
A rising sun.


In summer they flourish
Like families and yield
The most exquisite truth
Of hardwood and seed.
