Laughter gentles hearts
Rippling through conversations
Joy spilling out 
On the spirit with colors
Crisp and radiating

Humble warmth, imagination
Growing earnest, light

In the evening rain;

God washes us with His cooling waters, cooling waters;

Reigns down salvation when we repent of such;
It's all about...

Written in the silence
A thought
Little, like a hope
Melting colors in hues of grace
Through the mind
Over the soul – stirring
Whispers of a prayer

Written in the stillness
A word
Welcomed by poetry
Blameless moments
Erasing the past and comforting
The heart, with...

When I can’t see the way

Opening of flowers and throats
Sweet tinges of loving awakening 
A hero call heard in the mind of man

Out things in us that would make us turn
