Gracious Hand

I’m doing good real good

I wanted you to know

That past the tears and heartache

My heart has overflowed

For wishes have been filled

The help I needed so

Flowed freely from

A gracious hand I know

Comfort Zones

Step outside to freedom

A small chance to take

Loose your hold on comfort

You will find the gold

Courage not forsaken

Only time will tell

Privilege awaits you

When you step outside your

Zone.

Hope

Icy winds rattled glass windows

Dogs howled misery at the relentless moon

My eyes grew heavy until eventually there

Was nothing left bar a tiny seed, very tiny send of

Hope

Peace

Peace wash over me

Peace I pray

Keep me safe

Never let me stray

For all my steps

I will walk today

For choice of words

I might have to say

Peace wash over me

Peace, I pray

Choice

I chose my path and here I am

I chose each step I took

I shook my world right from its core

My days are now unseen

Where to now I do not know

But trust in faith I will

By Faith

By faith we live each day

Surrounded by our hoping hearts

We trust that all would go our way

That dreams would light the dimming stars

Before we have a chance to blink

We fall and falter at the realm

My legs give way I feel so weak

I hope that you will understand

I give it all I tried my best

It was returned at their behest

My very all would never be enough

And so I turn myself away

There’s nothing more I have

To say.

A Drop of Water

I felt that pain so deeply

A sear within my chest

I cried out for drops of water

The sun though lapped it all

Oh please can someone help me

Oh please don’t let me die!

But down the hole I falter

I lose the sight of sky

I’m surrounded by my demons

My head falls into hands

And so I wish for blindness

To unsee all the pain

Oh heal my heart I pray

Let the sun shine once again

Wish Away

The sun woke me up, but I failed to find the light insight. Dark shadowed all the corners I could not see past dawn or day. I curled up tight and hid away, oh please can someone wave a wand? I wish away this pain and grief, this never-ending stinking well.

Words

I tried to write poetry –

A word or rhyme or

Rhythm or song

Though all was black and no words would play

Hidden in rafters and kept at bay

So I teased them, I cajoled, I pled

Please words, don’t leave me, I need you

I do

I need your comfort, your warmth, your truth

Eventually they heard they had no choice

But to tiptoe out and make themselves heard

Words you are my lover my friend my foe!

Wherever I am you follow, you go

Take my hand I offer it true

Words you are mine, all mine

You are!

Peace

Peace in the waters

Peace in the words

Peace in the worlds

That darken my thoughts

Peace only my child

This is my one wish

That throughout each day

And cool dreamy nights

That peace will be yours

A peaceful long life
