Sonnet

O God who bring light
To your church.
Help us to see what is right.
Aid us in our never ending search.

I was dreaming about St Joseph in my prayer
And in my dream I saw a golden light.
He seemed to envelop me in care.
Telling me all was held in his sight.

Will we approach our end.
As serenely as the Bede.
Our few possessions happy to lend.
Our life’s work our seed.

I pray for his equanimity.
Knowing it will not outlive all extremity.

Haiku

I saw in prayer
A white and golden lightness
Enveloping me
