TO WANDER...

Sometimes I wonder
what it would be like
to live far far away..
Alone up high in the mountain..
No distractions all day..

Just the sound of the
wind rustling the trees..
Or the sound of the snow
melt raging by a nearby creek..

To experience green rolling hills
before me as I walk mile after mile..
To breath the crisp morning air ..
The picture just makes me smile..

Later after dark, the sky erupts
with a twinkling starry night..
The moon crests with its yellow hue,
such a glorious magnificent sight..

All night time creatures stop, just a brief
moment to look beyond their burrow..
They seem to know the scene  is a still brief
moment before the rising sun tomorrow ..

How magnificent is the world
in which we live and see before us..
Take time to wander down its path,
it's tributaries, it's mountains, so grandiose .

MY CHARTED PATH...

MY CHARTED  PATH...

I think too much ..
I eternalize, wallow in self pity, worry, fret and cry ..
Why, Oh why, Oh Why??

I bath in the futile waters
of what could be or should have been..
I wail in the emptiness
of my imperfections,
all my castigating sin..

In the darkness I am reminded of my worth..
He reminds me once again.. I am His, He knew me before birth ..

From the self inflicted
mire, I am lifted..
Lifted to the light out of
withering emptiness..
With his touch I am eternally gifted..

Charted is my path of
righteousness and blessings..
Driven by the power of my Holy God..
I seek and am given
strength and cleansing..

I no longer wander through the desert of despair and destitute ..
My mind is clear, my heart is pure, He has and is changing my attitude..

Simply, I have given myself and by faith I accept my fate..
So with His hand in mine,
together, we will walk through this life, then ultimately through heavens gate..

Isaiah 58
Isaiah 41:10

COME BACK MY CHILD...

Where have you gone my child?
I thought I knew your heart..
I no longer hear its beats..
I see your face yet I don't recognize
your expressions or your smile..
I hear your laughter but no
longer hear its joy..
There is a distance now where
there used to be a bond of love..
The miles between us could
never separate our hearts..
Now we are worlds apart..
Missing now is life we once
shared in common..
You have slipped into darkness..
I whisper and shout your name
until my voice can no longer speak..
Come back my child..
Come back to the one who
loves and who is the light..
I will be waiting until I hear
you speak with reverence ..
My loving arms are reaching
out to hold you close again..
