Long Barrera Poems

Cuando senti tus caricias me llenates el alma con tu dulzura 
despacio te fui conosiendo, Con lentitud te ganates mi corazón. 
Cuando te conocí fuites el ser que mas aprecie por tu linda forma de...

BEAUTIES BY THE BABBLING BROOK

They sat on the boulders
by the babbling brook
basking in God's brightness,
their bronze curly locks
bouncing as they giggled.

Their beauty was perfect 
in every way, including
the big beautiful bold eye
that graced each of...

Adam & Eve had Cain
then they were blessed
with Abel, two sons.
 
Abel was the herdsman
while Cain was a farmer
Cain bringing an offering to the Lord
of the fruits of the ground;
Abel, meanwhile, gave Him
the firstborn of...

My home is in Heaven
the next best thing
is God's house here
built on this earth

I share my thoughts
prayers for everyone
with the other saints
over a cup of coffee

We share a Pot Luck
while we celebrate
our freedom in Christ

Escribo porque hablar a veces no puedo
pues cuando lo intento me lleno de miedo
escribo porque mis palabras tienen mas efecto
transpasan toda barrera y llegan al centro

de tu corazón y comienzan a crecer dentro de ti

A kitten  too young 
to be out of the nest;
maybe her siblings
had pushed her.
 
She was too young 
to know God,
for no one'd had time
to teach about that. 
 
Maybe she'd crawled out,
seeking, not...

She stood before us
tears streaming down her face
telling of the terror
a small child feels
being abused.

Her only sanctuary 
had been a small church
that had picked her up
by bus, Sunday mornings
to tell her about the Lamb.

It was...

I've been tugged at
by rebellious wind today
it whispered political things
I couldn't grasp
pushing me over cliffs
then helping me to fly!

A bird went to hide
off in the protected zone
but my presence scared him
into the light
he was white
with...

Sometimes a friendship
just gets tired,
it wants something new
to grasp onto.

There is a new level
it desires,
but cannot bridge the gap
til some part dies.

Tears wash it clean...
an eraser in the teacher's hand
wipes the slate clean;
we both learn.

Somehow writing to You, Lord
makes it all seem perfect; 
while I write, You tell me
the way You want things to be.

Sometimes You can show me
how things look to You,
just a little bit anyway,
I have to...

When I forget,
my mind reaches
to you, to ask you
if you remember...
then I remember
you aren't there.

You went to Heaven
to be with the Father

We used to be
a two-pack,
one finishing up
what the other began.

Now I am left
holding your...

There is something
inspiring
about leafing through
pages
of art magazines.

Taking a stroll
through
the little paths
within
a beautiful landscape.

Maybe the signature
involves
more than just a name
colorful
in its curvy lines.

That sculpture!
familiar
like a face seen
somewhere...
Oh! But where?

There's a poem
wordy
telling you of a place
visually
that you...
