I Call Upon God

What it is all about
Why do I feel all alone?
God has left me…
Or so it feels.
As I fall to pieces
I crumble to my knees
With open hands reaching
I call upon God
The struggle is ended.
I have grasped a hold
God has not left me
I am not alone.

For Grandpa

Grandpa sits,
Waiting, waiting in fear
Alone.
Unaware of his surroundings,
Nothing recognizable,
Fearful.
He smiles; a familiar face,
A grandchild, gently touches,
Stroking
Carefully from the heart.
Patiently calming him,
Lovingly,
Until he’s at peace.

To Letting Go

The darkened forest of the night
Still whispers in my mind.
The sound of the night creatures,
The endless cycle of the fast flowing stream
Calling as it overflows and weaves its way
With rhythms of bouncing secrets,
Erupting ghosts of forgotten time;
Holding onto the heart of Mother Nature.

New Day

I awoke this morning,
And listened…
I could hear soft murmurings
Of the Spirit, as it filled the air and lingered near,
All earthly things became alive, and the soft stillness
Became a brand new day.

He Walks With You

Our years seem short
Often with broken hearts
Eyes filled with tears.
When God speaks
Your troubles are few
You will never walk alone
He walks with you….

Forgiveness

Forgiving
It doesn’t come easy
you might retaliate

Forgiving….
Let it come from inside,
Right alongside the hurt.
Forgiving….
Share it about;
Don’t hold it in your heart.
Forgiving….
Brings the love of our Lord
Into our lives.
Forgiving is unlimited….

Everyday

Everyday I grow in faith,
Without you I would not be.
In my dreams I see so much;
I see what makes a person wise.
The joy, the peace,
The love, which creates.
You alone are love,
You alone are everywhere.
Let me never leave You;
Let me go forward
Cheerfully and with love.

There Is a Place

There is a place not known to few
And those who know do not tell.
Go deep into the forests where you can breathe
The perfumed air of pine needles
And search for the pond that glows of gold.
You will know you are near when you see a ray of sunshine
Beaming aglow over the wild bunches of flowers.
Once there [...]

Like a Child

I close my eyes,
To see, to smell, to feel
Beings around me.
The beauty of their existence,
Freedom within, and innocence
Of the enchanted magical
Childhood fantasies
Long ago passed,
Remaining safe and secure in
My heart forever, just as it was
When I was a child.

You Are

When the wind cries,
I hear You.
When the birds sing,
I hear You.
The voice of the wind
Are You.
You are the silent
Pulsing of my blood.
Larger Beings,
Greater Spirits;
Kinder, surer, stronger,
Ever seeking.
You are here…
