the desert walk of Lent with light before and beyond

comments and use of material

Comments on the poems are welcomed. They are helpful in the sense that criticism can weed the garden by pruning out misspellings, grammatical and factual errors. I am open to suggestions for tightening the tension a line or verse might need. And beyond aiding with the editing, it is pleasing and sometimes surprising for this poet to know which words and phrases, ideas and images others find lasting or well-turned from the earth of our ordinary words. Thank you advance for your responses.

Thanks for your respect and courtesy in this matter.
