O Sun/Flower

O
sun / flower
( hallelujah! )
rambunctious
golden petals
illuminate pink pebbles in a puddle
illuminate bedeviled black beetles
journeying on a dubious path

O
sun / flower
rambunctious
razzmatazz -- yes! -- razz/ma/tazz
zings six students skipping
zings a wise woman warbling
in mornings glistening cathedral
zings Lorena -- aye Lorena! --sneaking
in the rear door of Roberto‘s house

O
sun / flower
flame in the morning sky
blossom of my heart
essence of my being
splendor within
I meditate on your beauty

Today
I’m a monk
serene in your presence
surrendering to your flame
