And There Is Hope

As I write … Dreams caress my soul With joy that comes from knowing The delights of God’s imagination Inspiring me to give back to this world Pieces of my heart and soul, my hopes The ideas that come to me on wings Of robins, wrens and whimsical owls Muses that mingle with melancholy Blend together with the rich blessings Of faith and love, feelings that delight Enchant my mind into remembering The call of winds which soothe me Into reaching out to truth and grace Merciful prose fill my mind, reflections Flow through me, taking me into The moments of kindness whispering Praises into the heavens for the One Who knows my heart’s deepest beliefs And listens to the prayers I recite to Him Prayers for these precious moments When rain pours out its rich welcome And silence sighs soothing charms, alluring Me to listen to my heart and hear the Beating of passionate music singing Uplifting those who know me and see The charity that lives inside of me Where only God can shine His light Warming and healing and fulfilling Gracing me with second chances and Inspirations discovered in the sea The sun, moon, stars and crimson leaves Of Autumn and summer brilliance And spring storms – even winter loves With it’s glittering snow falling across The ridges of pine and forest of faith In God’s rich and abundant pleasures Gushing out onto the earth’s horizons Where we can meet it with a gaze of pure Unadulterated enchantment because we know This is the answer to a prayer that we thought Had gone unanswered or unacknowledged Now, today, with the light of life flickering On the inside, we see the hue of a silhouette Which leaves only the cross to trace its shape
