From horrors fought by darkest thoughts

I heard a new term today,
slow sighed Earth's River,
"spiritual intelligence."

I have become flowingly familiar
with cognitive intelligence,
before that emotional intelligence,
before that contextual intelligence,
similar to climate intelligence

Rippling through conversations
Joy spilling out 
On the spirit with colors

With insight and inspiration
Humble warmth, imagination
Growing earnest, light
Whispering on the...

My friends, I have seen the rain!

I have held the...

In the evening rain;

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
He gives me the heart
When I just can’t seem to pray
He gives me the smile
When every hope has gone
He gives me the courage
When I can’t sing...

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

The soft light caresses all dark...

Out things in us that would make us turn
