Blackberry Harvest

Skipping
   with rust streaked pails
      through knee-high foxtails
         bending to brush away 
            white powdery puffs of dandelions
               gazing
                  wistfully back
                sighing with content
             unaware, unassuming
          falling
       through blue cotton clouds
     faint calls in the distance
   guiding, reassuring
in earnest search of wild bounty

Delectable treasures 
   waiting for angels 
      to gently release
         brilliantly dark
            perfectly tart
               compelling aromas
                  winding
               drifting 
            pulling 
         towards firm green tendrils 
       painting
     paths to fragrant blooms
   nestled comfortably
in peaceful anticipation

Sparkling emeralds and sapphires
   with soft golden spirals
      encircling
         bright cherub smiles
            with eager sun-kissed hands
               brushing the wind
                   stretching 
                straining
             reaching
          marveling 
       at simplicity
    with silver-lined buckets
  whistling in harmony
plucking rich harvest dreams

I'M Here

I’m here
Just shout, say, whisper, 
Even think My name
I’m waiting 
For that very moment
To release all power your way

More power 
Than the forces 
That seek to steal your soul
More power
Than addiction,
Suicidal thoughts,
And physical afflictions

I’m here
Just shout, say, whisper,
Even think My name
I’m longing 
So to set you free
From all your tears and pain

Jesus!  Jesus!
Call My name
All dark will fade into bright light
Jesus! Jesus!
Call My Name
I’ll save you from eternal night

Risa Breathes

Lowered head with hidden eyes
     restless in her thin disguise
Unsure if looks from opossum play
     were welcomed or just echoed fray 
She faintly saw what others knew
     gifts of grace, insight pursued
She cried, she laughed, then cried again
     wondering where her wings might land
Rising hope through ashes made 
     from charred, crushed walls of desperate days 
Hold on! Let go! Hold on, but go!
     she climbed higher as strength arose
Looking up, then breathing in, 
     she exhaled peace, then breathed again

Release

Breathe in
focus
on nothing
Feel the world expanding
within my lungs
Breathe out
everything
hear the inner sigh
of peace
as weighted air
releases
melting chaos
into serene awareness
