I sit here thinking alone in the rain, thinking of my sorrow, misery, and pain. I sit here listening to the thunder crashing down, knowing my life is better when you’re around. As I sit here watching the storm roll on, all I think about is you, and how you are gone. As I look at the dark clouds above, I sit...

Premium Member TO LABORING IN FAITH AND LOVE
When love is working, hate is busy challenging; faith, busy winning:- Where love is working, melting away all despair, hate is as ice in the sun:- In labors of love, injustice is defeated; and justice is won:- Let love’s heart lead you: the fuel-pump of your courage, justice’s compass:- Be a love worker, dismantling oppression, building liberty:- There’s crucifixion, and there is resurrection; be God’s laborer:- ...

Premium Member CHOOSE PEACE
Troubled men chase illusive Peace with sharpened knives and smoking guns. They recklessly wield all manner of weapons under the sinking, blood-red sun. But Peace is an individual choice, evoked through conscious decision That arises from deliberate and heart-felt aversion for the ultimate collision. At the personal level, if you are not at Peace it means you have chosen wrongly. Your reality rests in...

Premium Member By the squeaky old gate that tomorrow will find
Why do we call the good old days, good? Grandma was always talking, talking about the days that had passed. I wonder if they were really that good, or does our mind play a trick on us? Grandma loved sitting on her porch, looking out over her land in her rocking chair. Now the old rustic white fence, is falling down...

In another life, I'd be your mother
To the world you are just a person But to me you are the world You are the rarest of the rare To the point no one can compare Every hug healing a piece of me you didn't break Everytime you smile I know that no matter what I go through I'll always have you You are my heart And nothing...

A whole pizza but a slice
Maternal never came natural to you But laugh we did, crazy things you would do, You caused so much angst, guilt and tension, But my mother you were, with your fair complexion, Years went by and we muddled along more My tears mostly dry, almost closed the door Beautiful you were I see this all now, Wish you could see...

ECHOES OF THE BROKEN
[Verse 1] We can’t look away from the pain and the sorrow, From the fear and despair, The cries of the broken, the lost and the hollow Are rising in the air. Still, we turn away, Like it’s not meant to be, Trying not to feel it, Like this shadow Is just a mystery. [Chorus] No… we can’t look away From the weak and the weary, We can’t...

as we metamorphose
that day in December I remember I sucked on my soaked tucked-in socks When I saw you with a neat pack of straw on your back. I beckoned to you— you came but my words you reckoned with— in shame ten years on, our paths ...

the one who might
she has been looking for someone, since before she knew the word for wanting, “please, have you seen this person?” someone who’s tall and blonde and strong when she scratched her knees falling down the monkey bars —he can catch her when she falls, and lift her like she is air someone who's kind and has a puppy when she first held...

The knocking
the door is being knocked, For ages, it has remained closed Who is there? The Sun looks The Breeze Halts Tulips raise their heads in delight But the Cascade still flows on Humming like an indifferent Bee Knock - knock - knock How persistent the knocking is... But who comes calling? Through the peepholes, its light spills in The Valley enlightes with joy Old Cider tree opens its...

The softness we never got
I'm sorry I know you may have never been told that But you deserve it And so if nobody is gonna tell you that I will You deserve it In a world that has told us to be strong And has held us to impossibly high standards I wanted you to know that you matter And you deserved better From the world From your own I'm...
