At Crossroads
I stand, where paths diverge, With merry Andrew, years’ faithful surge. The Creator’s hand, a craftsman’s embrace, Yet dreamscapes falter, bound by time’s Trace. At tri-junction, like a gazelle carved in grace, Amid ancient trees, a sanctified space, Rooted, seeking signs yet unseen, The road ahead-a riddle, Serene. Branches murmur, leaves weave lore, Tales of renewal, of hearts once torn. Choices beckon-left’s holds the known, paths, Right...

The Hands That Falter
I'm helpless, helplessly so, Bound to the weight of mine own woe. Mine hands do shake, mine limbs do fail, And every deed is carved in frail. I wander around aimlessly, A wretch who doth not wish to be. Mine fingers break what once stood tall, Mine lips do lie, mine own to fall. I tear, I spoil, I set to waste, I choke...

Premium Member We Falter At the Altar
We’ve been, seen but not become soul’s light that bids us welcome, since as yet we stand not still, not quite aligned with God’s will. Subtle flickers of disdain, stifled dreams that cause us pain, from time to time, raise their head, signalling that we’re ill bred. What avail the Holy Grail if feral instincts prevail, clouding sight, veiling God’s light, making us cower in fright? Although...

The Reasons Falter
Do you write the words or do they write you Are the feelings tattered or something new Do you speak in tongues or in muted silence Are the moments sacred or void of credence Do the questions answer themselves in time Do the phrases mingle but never rhyme Do the reasons falter excuse to reign Do the moments linger —tomorrow framed (Newtown Square Pennsylvania: April, 2022)...

Don'T Stumble; Don'T Falter; Don'T Fall
Don't stumble; don't falter; don't fumble; Don't fall Hey you; Why do you even try? When it all seems pointless; Is it even worth it to try, I mean all of it. Don't stumble; don't falter; don't fumble; Don't fall. The rate at which you are willing to believe; Oh how naive! Are you even growing? Pain after pain on top of other pain; Will you...

If I Falter
If I Falter by Michael R. Burch for Beth If I regret fire in the sunset exploding on the horizon, then let me regret loving you. If I forget even for a moment that you are the only one, then let me forget that the sky is blue. If I should yearn in a season of discontentment for the vagabond light of a companionless moon, let dawn remind me...

Never Let Your Faith Falter
N-ever let your faith falter E-ven if the night is blue; L-et the new dawn break, L-et the beacon shine on Y-ou. P-ouring heavy raindrops A-re dark, black and gray; I-nclement clime will fade N-ovember twelfth day. A-llow your trust to glow, G-reat love must not waver; A-im and hope for sunshine, never let your...

Love Will Never Falter
Together we lie on the crimson sheet Hands pressed together, we are now complete Worlds apart in so many ways Our eyes fixed on each other with agaze Years have passed since we last laughed We need to rediscover our craft But, Time is short when you reach life’s peak Our body’s are worn down like a showroom antique Our love for each...

Let Not Your Both Feet Falter
N-ever let your both feet falter, A-llowing them to walk through; N-ever let either of them C-hoose to dismay Y-ou. B-e strong in faith and hope, E-arly first of December; L-et your love stand its ground, L-et not your both feet falter....

Falter
8/6/17 Regardless if I spend time as a salter From here to beyond Gibralter Going to make you falter I don't care if you pray at an altar Catch them by the collar Not going to let go even if they holler Spent time growing up in squalor Never was I the best scholar Getting my hands dirty for blue cheese and not no...

Premium Member Lest I Should Falter
Lest I Should Falter I sit and watch as clouds gather above huddled under my umbrella, singing along to pitter-patter droplets destitute of emotional mourning, or yearning, or love befitting the day; our emotionless song. But billowy winds stir up in the trees which howl in despair and fright and cast off their crowns, but bend not their knees nor surrender their will to...

A Human Falter
A beautiful blade of grass, gleaming of a sad dew sits on the ground accompanied by many. All are casual, some soft, some dry, Yet all so plain and simply satisfying. The human touch does not hesitate to fall on them, As they curl and deteriorate, But a force so powerful takes them on. A dry tired weed lays on...
