Two Poems by Rebekah Lorton: Waiting for Dawn, and Driving with the Windo

Ryan Hogg/Pixabay/Spider Web

Waiting for Dawn

Silky webs stretching in sunrise

Capture foggy mist.

Diamonds on string

Worn by sagging telephone line

Delicate prayers splayed

In lacy beauty.

Earth declaring glory,

Wonder

In most unusual places

Kingdom whispers

Woven by eight tiny legs

In dark of night while

Waiting for dawn

Amen.

Driving with the Windows Down

Delicious wind

Blowing between little

Fingers

Spread wide.

Grasping what can’t

Be caught

Unseen Forces

Animate and move

Hand in

Haphazard flow.

Forward, backward

Up, down.

Reminds me of

My soul.

~Rebekah Lorton
