Confronting Shadows
in the spring, when petals praise
within the song of grace who’ll amaze
beneath the silence of a gentle bud
there is a power, power in the blood
in the summer, when stories reveal
hope so sacred, sacred enough to heal
beyond the sun grows a life of wonder
singing exultation in the raging thunder
in the autumn, when leaves begin to weep
there...

On Beautiful Wings, Our Love Sings
1 Corinthians 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
Together – we wrote the story
Together, we give God the glory
Connected by the most powerful light
Feelings that assure us of what’s right
Together – we found our reason
Together, throughout each season
Joined by the most gentle song
Promises who surely right...

HE THAT GOETH TO-FOREThe high and the lows, strife and blows
Through high tides, and angry winds,
Hurricanes and tornadoes
Life stalls, uncertainity builds,
fear beckons and faith dissolves
But with the last ounce of hope, i cling to Psalms 46:1
Daunting opposition flanks all directions ,
Laying bare fibres of my imperfections.
Trust turned to ammunition,
piercing the fabric of my unsuspecting fondness.
The multitudes in...

Moonlight SkyMoonlight sky-
Shimmering like pearls above high.
Below I stand,
Chasing the dreams that fly.
Stars may flicker-
Moon shines bright.
Soft winds rustle,
Past the lashes of my eye..
Whispering the tales,
That remain veiled.
The cosmos holds that embrace,
In which I find my solace.....

Squirrels and HoundsThe squirrel’s hell is, for the hound, heaven.
And the rain, thunder, which flatten leaven,
Quench also the thirst of blossom’d flowers.
Tears spring forth joyful, in equal power
With grief and lost hope.
Mourning by morning, laughing and crying
Roller coaster emotions’ living, dying.
The hurt exquisite, the joy so fleeting,
My soul stretched to infinities meeting.
I scream, then...

What Breaks My Heart
I love you – even when the smile is shy
I love you, even when I can’t say why
I love you, when my tears just won’t dry
I love you, with a love I can’t deny
What breaks my heart completely, dear
Are the tears that sting with dark fear
The mourning that I so dread to hear
The feelings...

Come What MayCome What May...
When tears don’t say – because you pray
It will be okay, when you see the light of day
Time will reveal, the story of His will
Whatever comes, whatever sorrow – so still
I know the music of His grace in each glimpse of His face
Glimpses of hope, portrayed on the sunrise, in the stars
Glimpses of...

THE JEWEL IN THE FORESTAfrica,
The undiluted genealogy of humanity and humility
The undisputed abode of nature
Surrounded by wild bushes, forests, winding rivers,
Uncountable mountains, endless valleys, sacred hills
And unasailable caves
The breeding ground for crocodiles, Gorilla's, Lions, Buffalo's
And unquantifiable exotic animals
The domicile of moonlight tales;
Tales laced with valor and splendor
Africa,
Where the stars and the moon defiantly compete...

When the Night is SoftWhen the night is soft and shadows sigh,
I gather pieces of who I've been,
Underneath a silver-breathing sky—
The broken heart, the fractured skin.
I’ve worn the weight of wordless ache,
A cloak of silence stitched by stars,
Still I rise, though pathways break,
Barefoot tracing memory’s scars.
The moon bends low with lantern light,
A silent guide for those who roam,
It whispers...

The Coming Bloom
A seed is planted, a stem breaks forth
Leaves appear and buds grow north.
In time a blossom begins to form
Until a beautiful flower is born.
We celebrate the magnanimous bloom
Forgetting the seasons from seed to tomb
Know times of trial, built the bouquet
The perianth and the vibrant display.
If your season is barren, missing God’s presence
He is pruning and...

Wings and Wounds
Like birds flying high over the world,
Words of love never unheard.
Loud voices echo through different phases,
No mistakes.., Just choices in these mazes.
Walking threads, edge tight like a judge,
Told me, “Be strong. Don’t budge.”
They speak of light at tunnel's end,
But what about the road we defend?
The morals we bend,
The lives we...
