My Playmate, My Daily Friend

My Creative Process class includes an assignment to create something during each of the next 34 days (35 in all).  Many years have past since I wrote poems on a regular basis--I was in my 20's when I did so (I'm now 70).  My project will be to write a short poem each day and post it on this blog. I hope you will find them interesting.

My Playmate, My Daily Friend

When I survey the Trinity
I asked that one among it
Be my playmate, my daily friend--
Christ as playmate? Or God?....
Somehow those just won't do,
Only the Holy Spirit can dance with me
Laughingly bestowing triumph,
Imbuing the daily dark with dawn,
Infusing week old bananas
With restorative daylight and spirit's delight.
