Epiphany Light – 1/6/2025

Sunset, 4:15 p.m.
Dwindling Christmas lights,
Bright moon shines
on this starry night.

Enveloped in black,
invisible ice,
gift bearers
cross dunes
testifying to light.

Tinsel in boxes
crawls under the stairs,
awaiting, yet hidden
long seasons without care.

The midwinter bleak
arrives at the door,
dressed in grey
like a wolf, she
gathers once more.

Yet, glowing halos adorn
this January flight,
“return by another way,”
and follow His light.

Between Midnight and Dawn

A Literary Guide to Lent, Holy Week and Eastertide

Paraclete Press – 2016

This collection features Biblical readings, essays and poetry to compliment and enhance your Lenten journey. Poetry becomes more essential as I grow through the seasons of life. I wrote the poem featured in this book, “Miserere,” after visiting the Benedictine Monastary in Florence, Italy. This guide was lovingly created and arranged by Sarah Arthur.

“A rich feast.”
~ Lauren F. Winner, author of Still: Notes on a Mid-Faith Crisis

“I may just be a bit smitten with this book.”
~ Ann Voskamp, author of One Thousand Gifts

“Between Midnight and Dawn is an imaginative collection of poetry and prose that reveals what great literature is at its core: a psalm, a cry against the darkness, a prayer.”
~ Ashlee Cowles
