Life Keeps Changing… But am I?
Life keeps changing – but am I? I am working now for the first time in almost 9 months! I am working in an industry I swore I never would. I joined the world of banking. I practically know nothing, but I am appreciating the small customer-centered environment. I am not one to appreciate large…

The Promise
The will of the land With promise of time Briefly possible From the good and Devine. Yet torcher is chosen To sacrifice favor Steal from the enemy After friend and neighbor. Kindness wins a destiny Once promised and knew Do not lay down hands With work to toil through. Hope beyond the mind Live in…

The Artist
Outside lives an artist Of work I admire Stopping tracks Beauty inspired… If time to take From daily wares Hope is watching Someone cares… Each day is available To learn beyond you Appreciate the gift Consumed by too few… Yes there is darkness After brilliant colors speak Listen to the lessons Strengthening the weak… Oh…

Eye Watching
I spy An eye in the sky Watching me Watching you As any eye Or moon Would do. I see Paths near and far Tempting you Begging me Trust more Something old Or even new. I run Toward a light beyond me Dancing space Solid place A guide A stand Steps too.

So Simple
Such spirit Whispering through the skies So Simple The connection between you and I So lost When I try to lead my own way Now focused In the presence to find a way More strong In an environment to make you weak Heartbroken Before the guidance we all seek. Consistent As history has always been…

Feeling Proud – Instead of just Down
What a spring and summer this has been! I have been unemployed since 3/24/17. I can’t believe 4 months have passed by already. Unemployment has been an extremely difficult situation for me. Finances are certainly an issue, but the effect on my self esteem has been most severe. To my credit – I haven’t just…

Open Heart
A mess on the path Mine to clean Scrub and sweep Are my means Every move Countless minutes More shambles No way to clean it On my knees Scream and cry No progress for work Or understanding why. Seeking answers With praying demands To which He answered You must clean your hands. With palms and…

Talking Breeze
The dream lives in darkness Producing light Fractured lens Feeling right. Resurrection captured Death was lost Bravery Little cost. The battle rages on Inside hurts Outside pushes Bloodied shirt. In the distance Understanding The reward Careful planning. Stolen moment praises Bending knees Whispered answers Talking breeze.

Coming Home
Coming home Through fractured rays Quite the journey Is the end of our days. But through the veil Life has only begun Precious steps After a mortal run.

Sacred Conversation
Walk the road Not for the end Find the gold Not meant to spend See the beauty Naturally given and made Take in a moment Too valuable to trade See the opportunity Beyond the trial Talk to God Enjoy the mile Breathe the life Only Heaven can give Then have the courage To get up…

Enigmatic
Someone unknown While having a name . . . Walking the mile Assigning guilt and shame. Performing a role Without knowing how it’s done – Challenging the winner Before the game is won. Defending a stranger Offering means to succeed… Not knowing the problem But fulfilling the need. Hearing a voice Sensing a presence near…

Not Knowing Why
So often a need to understand Is a puzzle that can’t be solved Delusions hide a truth Impatience hides resolve. Magic is an illusion Much like reality in a group . . . All life faces death The old once had youth. Moments are a consequence To a past coming true . . . Blessing…

In Loving Memory
I witnessed the end With no middle or beginning- Confusion and torment And faith growing and thinning…. I heard the stories told As laughs were appreciated and shared All about a young man Who could no longer be there. The more I learned about you- Less anything made sense… Actions so regrettable- Knowledge missing a…

Faith
Peace is in the silence As night finishes it’s fall Hope is in the distance And so is losing it all. Steps in between Changing how everything fits An answer is the temptress The devil urging to quit. But then looking to the sky Reminded just like before You are the power I have to…

Hope
Silent steps Along a road with stops. Noises vary Heart in knots. No plan before A blueprint now… Where you were And finding how. Two steps back Stop the pace- Find the forward Accept the race. Sunset an ending On a path just beginning You were waiting With hopeful grinning. Just a step But a…

Known
What is known… The moon is bright- The sky now dark The day ends right. Another breath From another day… Many blessings And a home to stay. No other thoughts If my discipline holds true… Living for now- And living through You.

Missing…
Sometimes in life we are so caught up in a storm That we miss the blessing of it. Waiting for life to be easy When easy was never part of the plan. Every storm brings life. Every catastrophe brings inspiration. And yet there are time periods… Periods so many waste as though seconds didn’t matter.…

Resisting Change
Knowing very little About what’s happening now Something so simple Or even profound. Knowing nothing About what happens next Despite what some “know” It’s anyone’s guess. Submit to the mystery And be in His care… Grow through blessings And out of despair. An end today New beginning tomorrow.. Spend the time With no debt to…

Saving Grace
Jon’s daily walks brought peace on difficult days, and allowed him to have at least one healthy habit. Today his walk was different. Today the walk cemented a sadness inside – instead of providing solace from a hectic world. The loss of his angel was something there was no comfort for, and even his legs…

Pandora
Come to life Pandora As I’ve come to set you free… Erase all the mystery- Open for us to see. All giving in Greek mythology As only a woman could bare… Whether in a jar or box- Ills will greet your stare. Forbidden fruit or a can of worms- Are myths believed today… Or are…

The Messenger
Messenger of the unknown- Because it is known- Just not by our time or place. Seen and heard- By the blind and deaf- Moments to embrace. A solid purpose defined- Rules not to be broken… To all the living things. Both light and dark- Beautiful and plain- Sights with or without wings. Stories told and…

Patience
What is the point of speaking…If you can’t hear what I say? What is the point of touching you…. If you can’t feel me? What is the point of giving you more…. If you ignore what you’ve received? Why would I ask you to be…
