Best Reached Poems

They are walking! Walking, walking, walking! 

Long stretches of walk - hundreds of miles of impossible uncertainty,
in blazing sun, in sweltering, muggy, heat - running away from an Inferno. 
Home, sweet home! Villages with shady trees! 
Destination! 

Thirst, hunger, bleeding. 
They trudge, fatigued babies hanging on their shoulders like sandbags, 
starving...

Goal Reached ~One Thousand Poems

Dropping by with a bottle of champagne.
Hoping you don't mind if I come in from the rain?

Wanted to thank my small, but grand group of followers.
I give each of you a bouquet of gorgeous, fragrant flowers.

I wanted to reach the goal...

used to have ambitions
goals
wanted to be a nurse and I did that
was on a mission to be a wife and      mother

but life took me down a different path
I always had this natural ability to write
not something that can be taught...

??Isaiah? ?59:1?-?2? ?NIV??
[1] Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear. [2] But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not...

Do not dismiss me without a thought
If you listen carefully I'll share a lot
Although you may witness
a body that's weak
Within this mind 
May be the answers you seek
I can still see clearly 
although my eyes begin to fade
One day soon
Into the ground I'll be laid

An end - reached

An end is in sight, it has finally been reached.
Throughout the journey, much was preached.

Back to the beginning, when stories where first told.
Many are far to exposing, are much to bold.

Telling stories of other souls, got some attention.
Telling stories of mine, as...

Destination reached, we meet
Internal breaths ignited
Long distance, loves conquered all
Conjoined, twinned forever...

In my wretchedness, so miserable
God compassionately reached down to me;
Offered me His precious love, valuable…  
He paid by His blood* of sacrifice-fee.

From heaven, He came to give me freedom
To unshackle me from sins’ bondage-chain;
Against eternal pangs of hell’s kingdom…
He ransomed my soul while guilt...

Jeeze  You've Reached Your Limit

Jeeze
You've reached your limit
Quit your insane bellyaching!
Before you explode 
~
You can't spring a swing
Not unless   you're in a ring
When you fling your fist
 Like Muhammad Ali's hissed
“Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee”
~
They'll tell you to bring...

You Reached Down


When my arms where getting tired
And the water was coming
Over my head about to drown
While all smiles had turned to frown
You reached down
And gave me your hand
And said my child come with me
I am preparing a wonderful land
Where the godly will be as
Numerous...

I prayed till I touched Heaven,
I got the victory that night.
When God heard my cry he said,
“Child trust me, I am the light…”

I know your life and your cares,
and I know just what to do.
If you trust me I’ll give Grace,
enough to see you through.

My...

God Reached Out
 
I was walking down the
Street one day
When I felt it in my heart
This feeling deep in my soul
I knew it must be God
A new path had come to life
And set before my eyes
Tears ran down my face
Because of how I felt inside

AS I WAS LAYING AWAKE, LATE LAST NIGHT.
WITH THE DARKNESS ENGULFING MY BODY AND SOUL.
SUCH AS THAT OF A WARM WOMANS BODY, CARESSING MINE.
SO SOFT A TOUCH!
I REACHED FOR YOU.
YOUR NOT THERE.
BUT IN MY MINDS EYE I SEE YOU.
I SEE YOUR FACE.
YOUR SOFT EYES.
YOUR SWEET...

Reached Their Peak


Our autumn leaves have reached their peak;

the gold and reds, subdued with brown. 

The scenery appears so bleak

as wind-swept leaves fall to the ground

where leafy patch-work quilts abound

to cover lawns as trees dress down

and bare their limbs that once were crowned

with brilliant gems...
