Like the empty smiles
Addictions hide behind
Her grief secret, silent
Coloring her in a heavy doubt
Darkness speckled in glimmers
Hope that could be read
In the moments, breathed
On the song of stardust
Dreams, reflections poured out
In lavender creams, gentle
Like a rainbow’s end stalking
The storm, threatening
To lift the shadows of streaming
Echoes, feelings erased
By melancholy and rainwater
Like the lazy melody
Pulsing from yesterday’s inspiration
Her prayers go unnoticed
Nobody knows her anguish
Sin follows her, breathless
From the darkness that stills light
Luring tears who slide, quiet
Like dewdrops over a petal
Leaving only the hint of moisture
To remind the heart of its presence
The embrace of feelings,
Emotional mysteries and pleasures
Promising to sooth away
Each fear, all the worries, the dread
That dims even the breath
The life that is stirred by firefly wishes
Like the persuasive pen
Writing hope into novels, poetry
Drawn into the antiquity
By forces from spilled ink
Shed by bloody hands
Who play with nouns and verbs
Sketching darkness with words
Depicting death and life
Stealing and sacrifice
Rumors of wars and strife
Along with gifts of grace, insight
Into the soul who abides
With endless tales, stories
Arousing faith in the One
Who knows that our hearts,
Like candles in the wind
Need only to be blown upon
By the gasp of His acceptance
His mercy and forgiveness
The suspension of all guilt
Shame is lifted – hearts are glistening
With the promise of heaven
Where there is forever peace and love
Impressions that come from above
Like the faded feelings
Gentling every misgiving
With appeals for His wisdom
Reassuring, erasing the iniquity
Restoring grace and living
In the warmth of His light, His favor
Where love abides, smiling
On imploring lips,
Glorifying the creator of us all
The One who is light and love
The peace from His spirit
The eternal promise, the conviction
That redeems and delivers
Rebuilds the relationship between
The sinner and the Savior
Awakening a sense of fulfillment
That comes alive when we admit
He is everything – He is the way
To make peace with the past
To silence the anxiousness
To know what it means to love
With a love that only He can rouse…
Love like this is pure goodness,
Kindness, decency, virtuousness
The wholesomeness of grace
Love like this is the promise of faith…
Abide in His light – His love
And forever find peace and hope
Wonder that restores the heart
Salvation that leaves the soul whole!
