The ChildA child lights our way in life...
The greatest gift there is to be.
They suppress our selfish inclinations...
They set our passions free.
They give sense to our mortality.

Haven'T Forgotten YouSipping in solitude inaudibly,
I feel left behind like an orphan child,
Waiting for a stranger’s ride,

Doom of Ancient BloomOh, this impish ill!

You now possess fully
my body and my life.

This very body that shamed kings...

Sing hallelujah
Heavenly host, singing His praises,
Love all around, gentling, sweetest grace,

Like the Holy Spirit’s fire, burning,
With a passion only found...

Beyond Words
Like the empty smiles
Addictions hide behind
Her grief secret, silent
Coloring her in a heavy doubt
Darkness speckled in glimmers
Hope that could be read
In the moments, breathed
On the song of stardust
Dreams, reflections poured out
In lavender creams, gentle
Like a...
