Heaven
They say Heaven is hidden
Among the stars up high
Or rests on fluffy white clouds
In the brilliant blue sky
But Heaven’s radiance shines
And imbues all around
Here on Earth where love is found
~Kathy Figueroa
The Magic Hour
It’s called “the magic hour”
Before the sun sinks low
When everything is bathed
In a warm, golden glow
Colours look much richer
Flowers, more velveteen
And a country garden
Is a haven of green
The dragonflies hover
As light glints on their wings
Tree frogs start their chorus
And sing of peaceful things
~Kathy Figueroa
