Wind in Trees

Memories in my mind
Question their being
Beg me to share
The brief moment
They were

Briefly and fleetingly
Created with care
And lasted but
A few blinks only
Of the eternal prayer

Like wind in the trees
Vapor in air
Subtle lingering scent
And as soon as they lived
As quickly they died

An Acrostic Poem

Prayers from my heart
Reach the One whom I
Adore and in his mercy
I receive love and grace
Supplied abundantly –
Everlasting peace

Living God

I will seek Thee Lord
With all my heart
For Thou alone can satisfy
When other waters fail –
My living God will quench my thirst

New Each Morning

His mercies each morning abound
With compassion never failing
As before His throne
We wait

Inspired by:
Lamentations 3:22-23 KJV
It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.

Compassion

She felt compassion for the pain that kept recurring, the ache that needed soothing, the void that needed to be filled, the tears that never dried. Because she had felt it herself. She understood.

A Glimpse

For so long she held out for a glimpse. Finally, there he was. Crossing the road, he quickly disappeared. Away from her. Perhaps in time they may meet again. Perhaps then she will have the right words. Perhaps then she will have broken through herself. Perhaps then she won’t care.

Unsettled

An unsettled cloak settles over my unpeaceful mind – furious teeth gnawing at disintegrating harmony, an inner life in strife with the natural, heaven and earth, dark and light, black and white, peace and war, tears and smiles, confusion and conflict reigning, God be with me, and with us all.
