Rainbows and feathers
Hold us in their palm
Lighting a darkened sky
Saving us from harm
When my eyes are down
And sorrow fills the day
Feathers and rainbows
Brighten up the way!

Craving
I can taste you without tasting you
I can feel you without feeling you
I can hear you without listening
I can see without seeing you.
Still my flesh craves
To make you
Wholly
Mine.
Infiltration
What is it about you that gave you all the power to sweep in unawares and infiltrate my mind with longings and desires of you by my side?
Flirtation
Shy petals and rain –
Flirtatious kiss between parched
Earth and her heaven
How to Cope 101
How to cope when you don’t know how to cope?
Stop the stories.
Stop the projections
Stop the comparisons.
And simply do
What needs to be done today.
Exposed
Change has the power to strip me naked baring my exposed flesh to a glaring world.
I will gather up leaves – authentic, sturdy, and vibrant and clothe myself again.
A New Normal
I made a decision to change my life and now it feels crazy weird and I feel crazy weird and nothing feels normal anymore and so I need to get used to a new normal. I dare not look back because there is nothing to look back to.
Debris Be Gone
I cleared the debris cluttering my life and as I stood back to examine the result I knew with certainty that yes, indeed, the path hidden beneath all the dead wood really would lead to an as yet undiscovered
Magical world
Living Hope
I lived in fear for years on end
My soul was tied and bound
I had no place outside my realm
No open path that I could tell
I gave up hope, resigned to life
My bed was made so down I laid
But change came by and saw the heart
My tears had nearly drowned
I closed my eyes and lift my arms
I surrendered all to God
Please help me, Lord, my life is yours
I have nowhere else to go
He heard my prayers and felt my pain
And wiped it all away
I thank you Lord for all you’ve done
For all my life might be
I’ll live my days to glorify
My living hope in Thee!
Candle Flame
As much as we’ve received
Let us share our gifts with grace
Our joy is like a candle flame
To light the eyes and face
