A DREAM...

A DREAM...

I dreamt last night how really irrelevant I was..
I returned to my former life to find I'd been
forgotten .. For no other reason than just because...

I ran from room to room to find everything changed ..
Every memory destroyed, every frame blotted,
every reminder of my past life gone or rearranged ..

I saw faces that looked puzzled as I continued my search..
No one knew who I was nor did they reach inside themselves..
Many just stared blankly as if I was someone with a curse..

Life had gone on without me and the memories erased..
Changes were in the present, they stretched into oblivion ..
Clouded, sometimes dark, my life seemed integrated but  unlaced..

Sadly, I found my way back to the door in which I entered..
Those in my past went their way, and I went mine..
Only to dream of a new life beyond those I have lost,
Those I had encountered..

S H E....

She crosses her tees
She dots her i's
She covers her pain
She hurts, she cries
She feels with her heart
She speaks her mind
She's not always loved
She's not always kind
She loud, she's brash
She comes on strong
She speaks her truth
She doesn't take long
She's uncommonly silly
She's witty at best
She loves with her heart
She knows she is blest
She believes her faith
She knows The Lord
She knows the word
She knows it's a sword..
(Hebrews 4:12)

JESUS DIED TODAY ....

Jesus died today..
Darkness shrouded
The cross where he hung..
The earth shook mightily
as the temple curtain tore..
No longer are we separated
from God..
Jesus died today..
He bore my sins and yours..
The lamb of God was sacrificed,
He bled and died today..
God gave His only begotten
Son.. So that you and I
Could live eternally ..
Jesus died today ..
Kneel down, ask Him..
Will you take my sins away?
Will you forgive this wretched
Soul?
Jesus died today..
He will rise again to defeat
The sting of death.. Yes,
Jesus died today...

GOOD FRIDAY

ALONE ...

ALONE...

I'd love to find a hiding place.
not so far away...
Where solitude gives way to
precious words, to
words I want to say..

Alone to feel my passion..
Alone to clear my mind ..
Alone to create from memory,
each consecrated line..

Alone where I could write
each haunting word and line ..
Alone to write the words, I wish,
would open every mind...

To me it is to grow inside by
learning to write, not speak..
To be alone with only God,
It is a miraculous feat..

I'm sure I found my hiding place ..
It is where I go to grow..
It is where I can be myself,
it is where I am Alone!!

I guess I'm  never all alone..
I have my Lord and Savior..
He gives me truth in every word,
indeed he's shown me favor..

MY SWEET LITTLE ANGEL ...

MY SWEET LITTLE ANGEL..

Her sweet
little voice
tugs majorly
at my heart..
Her giggle,
her secrets,
she lets me
take part..

Her funny
little expressions,
Her singing
in the tub..
Her happy
sweet face,
She's brings
such happiness
and love ..

She's the
cream of
the crop..
She's the
top banana..
I love her
sweetness,
yes, she's
the cherry
on top..

Love this
little girl
from her
head to
her toes..
Her sweet
disposition,
Even her
sweet little
nose..

Let's hide,
let's giggle
under
your blanket
again..
Let's share
our secrets,
It's our world
of pretend..

She brightens
my day
each  time
that we speak..
We engage
in a language
that only she
can teach..

She tells
me again
how she
wants
To have
wings..
She looks
up to heaven
she prays
and she sings..

She's my
angel
on earth,
she brings
me such
love..
She's my
little ray
of light,
who's been
sent from
above ...

IN THE LIGHT...

Far in the darkness
I see a light..
The thick enveloping
blackness is all around..
I feel alone ..
I fix my eyes on
the distant light,
I pray..
Fear leaves me,
I'm not alone..
Soon the light
is all around,
it goes right
through me ..
His righteousness,
His power, His Love,
His salvation is mine
to have, it is
freely given..
Through faith I am saved
by a whisper of that
simple sinners prayer..
Renewed, life begins..

HER FACE ...

Look closely at the
circles of life in her eyes..
See the lines deep
in her brow, her face..
She carries her character there..
Her hopes, her dreams,
her happiness, her worries, her hardships and her fears..
Tears have trickled down
her  aging cheeks..
Tears of untold battles
that her life has seen..
Tears of harrowing sadness, more importantly, exuberant inconceivable , ecstatic love and happiness ..
Yes, look closely ..
You won't see much paint
or glitter to change the
character of each deep
furrow, dark spots or lines..
It is what it is and she
is who she is ...
She wears age with pride..
She is very aware of  each weathered line ..they tell a tale
of where her life has been..

WHERE NATURE HOLDS COURT...

WHERE NATURE HOLDS COURT ...

Sometimes I just want
to close up shop..
To run far away,
cup my ears,
Just make it stop..

Run to the stillness
where nature
holds court..
Lay by the
waters of solitude..
To listen to the
breeze  would
be such sport..

Leave sounds
of discontent,
harm, misery
behind..
Only to find
enchantment,
fulfillment,
happiness sublime..

As corrupt as this life
becomes..
My spirit, my soul
unfortunately
 succumbs ..

 I shall breath in the freshest
of morning air..
To be saturated by the warm
calming  sun..
They quietly unshackle
each burden and care..

I must simply bow
my head...
Praying, I leave each
worry and sorrow..
Cleansed, I'm free to face
the uncertainty
of tomorrow ...

A REVEALING...

Dancing  ripples shining like diamonds across the lake ..
A brisk chilling wind stirs
each ripple, each lapping break..

The noon day sun warms,
wakens the dormant soul..
Rekindles the spirit spent, used, it had taken
its toll ..

Breathing in the clean fresh mountain air ..
It's  almost more than this one can bare ..

Perfect serenity surrounds
this scenic moment..
Purposefully,meaningfully;
It wakens the darkness like the glowing tail of a
passing enigma of a comet ...

Renewed, revitalized, rekindled .. life begins again..
To face challenges with exuberance, purposefully sustained ..
