Looking to the future
With all my past as dust
Unexplored territories
Fill my view
I know not what
My days will hold
But I know my courage
Will see me through
Tag hope
Rainbows
Sometimes
As our tears fall like rain
Rainbows appear
Where we least expect them
Well, that’s what I’m hoping for
Anyway
Sentient
Separated from our Creator
Separated from our Lord
Living on this planet
Breathing in the earth
Pains will come
And hurts will too
But rise above
And lift your eyes
For heaven’s song
And trumpets’ sound
Will fill the air
And soon ring true
Vision
From the depth of valleys deep
A vision rises into view
Of peace and hope that’s mine to keep
My whole heart and soul and more
Accepts the vision of thy grace
I will forever thee adore
Footsteps
I will listen to thy whispers
To what thou hast to say
Thy leading and thy guiding –
Forsake me not I pray
My heart will be thy crown
I will ne’er thy love betray
Thy footsteps I will follow
Until my dying day
For I love You, oh Lord
My hope and strength and stay
Crying Rain
Lights offer the faintest
Flickering of hope while
Solitary umbrella offers
Shelter from the constant
Trickle of rain and tears
Love, Joy and Peace
Gift to me, O Lord, I pray
Fruits that only Thou can give
Fill my heart with grace and truth
Love, joy and peace
And all things good
Agapanthus
In the midst of winter
A reflection of my
Favorite flowers—
Beacon of hope
Bitter Pill
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Baggage Check.”
A few weeks ago I was hurt by someone. Struggling to deal with it, I want to lash out. My human nature craves revenge. I hate how you hurt me. I hate how I allowed you to hurt me. Daily, nightly I have to seek a soft heart. Forgiveness, love, hope and faith. Past experience has taught me that is the only way.
Setting Sun
Born for eternity
Bound for one
Endless shore
Life is passing
Death approaching
The day once over
Will pass our way
No more
