No hope looms
No way to stay
Near heaven’s breath
All seems lost
Forever
Gone away.
Then storm clouds break
Heavens open, shining bright
All worries lift, they have gone
Now
My soul is heaven bound.

No Hope Looms

I Will Come With You
April 20, 2020
I will come with you
I will walk at your side
together
we will face the heartache
and
come out the other side.

My Hearts A Mess
April 17, 2020
My hearts a mess
There is no rest
No peace, no quiet.
Racing, racing on
Racing fast
How will I ever last?
When can I see
Peace
Quiet and dignity?
When will I feel
My heart pump
A slow, soft, quiet thump?
Can’t hold on
Can’t see
How I got here, how to leave.
All I see is
My hearts a mess
There is no rest, that’s all, all I see.

Let Me Know Your Answer
April 16, 2020
Let me know your answer
Way before the question’s asked
Know the infinite
Hasn’t questioned, hasn’t asked
For she already knows
She has made it come to pass.

Only I
April 15, 2020
Only I
Know the reason why
Only I
Sit in a place filled
With loving gratitude
And grace
Only I
Feel the presence
Of a spirit so strong
Knowing and forgiving
Only I
Is who I see
When I look in the mirror
And see
Only me.

Hold Heaven Up Tonight
April 14, 2020
Hold heaven up tonight
See
The sparkle in
The dark night light
Follow
A shooting star
Race
Across the sky
Know
Heaven exists there
And
Within you and I.

Looking Forward, Looking Back
April 13, 2020
Looking forward, looking back
Living in the present
Trying to keep on track.
No breath is taken lightly
No heartache will
Keep me back.
Living on the precipice
Yet staying on
That beaten path.

Things Change
April 9, 2020
Things change, wheels turn
Looking back is not my concern
See the path ahead
Focus on feeling
No trepidation
Remorse nor dread.
Heart holding
Embracing the best
Smile comes
Easing the way
As the sun shines on
Another brilliant day.

Healthy And Whole
April 8, 2020
Healthy and whole
I face the day
Grateful for everything
That has come my way.
No turmoil, no destitute
Just the rising sun’s
Rays
Warming all the land.
And grasses waving
Hello
In the meadow
Where they stand.
