“A Millennium Poem”

by Lynda McKinney Lambert

While resting here in the warmth of the millennium year

I  glanced  to my right this morning

only to see that God has laid back his head

and is having a roaring good laugh.

From the beginning of this final year

I wrote no resolutions and set no goals to reach.

My journal is still blank – its bare pages

have never been touched by my pen.

I find that it’s hard to get moving today

my fingers hesitate and pause

searching for the right words.

I continued to search beyond  the window to my right.

Fir branches swayed slightly and moved in circles

there was not a bird in view on the sunlight boughs

but I returned here again

as I have invariably done.

Within this tranquil dimness

I tilt my head forward

listen to sounds of laughter.

Here, in the  tree where God sits.

The end.
