Such ground of holy Of those who know Him The Lamb of God, the Son of Man Removing my sneakers A chameleon in the crowd Though I stretch, I cannot see what is shroud Is it a tomb?

We are Woven
A warm breeze Fragrant air Gently moving my hair Tall tulips speak in bold pink An old tree looms over head Cracks in his bark Legacy unsaid A bunny nose twitches to and fro Spying movement from the side They don't see well what's right in front. They learn because they tried. God prepares the … Continue reading We are Woven
There’s New Life for You
His half moon hung in the muted sky One chilly Spring morn You could breathe and be seen The atmosphere created for new Colorful buds emerging Bunny ears pointing A dew A drink from heaven For in His resurrection All are reborn ~~~ Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. The … Continue reading There’s New Life for You
A Visit from Joy
There are days When joy skims the surface Like a thin rock skipping across the lake's stillness Almost a disturbance To the serene achieved A balance Though steeped in greed A love offering A gentle stirring Full of respect For the mind's introspect Focus ajar Soul stretches Beyond The corners Boxing Protecting Oh, but this … Continue reading A Visit from Joy

Depression is a cocoon immune to others needs Temporarily Taps become raps Snags morph into nags The list to do Ensues Battle Leaving you rattled Blasting fibs Lack of competence Zero confidence You see the shades half-south While the rest thank God cuz their sun never goes down Dim Is worse than dark You can … Continue reading The Dimness in Depression
The Depression Condition
The gray in the air Is the fray on my soul Plain truth Pain lives Dripping like a sieve Into the light Raindrops of dread Competing with His delight What if Love and gloom Partner in doom And glory? Who can be happy, Display continual joy? Yes, Jesus, Stronger than any thoughts drowning us Always … Continue reading The Depression Condition
Expect Goodness
People-watching More like honoring Waiting explicitly For goodness To reveal its fullness Here we come There we are Dressed in jeans, shorts And everything in-between Some roll with smiles in the sun’s heat Despite crawls of nearby crowds Splashing and loud Some sweat profusely Seeking shade as they wander The desert Both young and old … Continue reading Expect Goodness
