Best Hope Spiritual Poems

In shadow 'neath the shining of a soul 
a heart trembles
for her lost 
control.
Hope 
lives 
in Him
who forgives
trespass and sin
as flight with Mercy’s angel does begin.

to win over my innermost conflicts at last,

I saw my mortality shaking in the wind.....

   I heard my soul walking softly with the Lord,

As lambs we walked 'neath the gentle arbors,

   through fields of grasses green

When our once young selves 
turn stale
and old and old and old, 
then in that beauty 
I still see, I can hear life...
I can hear life 
as it calls out 
its love song--
its plaintive plea 
to my ageless soul.

And when death makes 
its awkward entrance,

Joe.; Making friends can be Hard I'm told, with keeping them harder; than finding, where hens teeth are sold!

Now that we have learned to pray and keep him in our sight.

Observe the ones who bear Christ's name,
see corpus Christi without shame.
They're His, aflame and all forgiv'n;
the church at work and Spirit driv'n.

Survey the hands that do good deeds
the feet that stamp out weeds of sin,
the ears that hearken to the needs
and loving hearts that pray...

Tomorrow’s dreams beneath my pillow sit
Orchestral prayers unwind the years ago
Uncovered only one way back to you
Conviction drew your soul’s celestial arc
His light still shines upon a narrow path

Sometimes fear is a monster hiding under my bedwaiting for the chance or opening to jump 
into my head. Once in it twists and turns stabbing me like a knife. It's been an unwelcome 
companion for what seems like my whole life. What can I...

"Oh how I want, oh how I plea."
To that Big Guy  in the  clouds,
Yes, Someone to watch over me

Should I ever enlightened be
still to spirits and saints pray
But need someone to watch over me

Images of gods as mother or daddy
or pictures of anglicized...

Nothing to view, to see, touch or taste

Over the vast void of darkness, all blank

To grasp in futility, a cold blank space

How mysterious the universe, from nothing began

It was written thus, as God had planned

Not a soul was made, in eternity past

Gone in death, not...

Spiritually is like the seeds in the wind
Carried by Bethlehem’s singing birds
Over oceans and times somewhat grim
When the world seems torched of all love and compassion
A single seed shall fall back to this earth
Giving humanity hope and a new re-birth...

Master Of Time
Time can be your friend.
Time can be your enemy. 
A clock ticks away life's every moment. 
A clock can be your helpful reminder.
A clock can be the one thing that you dread.
Time can never cease fully. 
We want the good times to linger.
We...
