The Bridge

 

While volunteering my time

at "God's Kitchen" and

"Degage Ministries"

in Grand Rapids,

especially during

the Christmas season,

I feel like a bridge

between love and need.

In the crossing,

the giving becomes receiving.

Snow Fog

Day after Christmas.
December meltdown.
Warm air strokes cold earth.

Snow fog

escapes from the woods,
floats over the fields,
dances with the wind.
