Family
When winds are rough,
And tear at hopes and dreams
When days are dark, and nights are tough,
And over-long, it seems
When bitter clouds collect above,
And ache and break and pour
We'll batten down the hatches,
Just like we did before.
You see, to me - we're made to last;
To wait, contented, warm;
To stand and know the past has passed.
For

Unbirthday
Noon simmers a chamomile lavender
Like the summer rain that resembles diamond tears
The tea pot serenades my senses with aroma rays of hope
My favorite mug sports a Sunday best just waiting for service to begin
Your Saturday mug is game time ready in a classic all white number
You are spreading the sandy toasted bagels with butter

Secret Love
Secret Love
Walk in an unknown landscape
An ever-changing path
Pulling me your love
Walk in the rain, walk in the marsh
Sunken lives in the depths
Pulled me your love
Walk in fantasy, imagined life
Life is undiscovered
Killed me your love
I loved you
See my hand
Touching you
From depth
A forgotten
Hope
Secret
No
Hidden
Loved
You

The Edge Of Us
We talk like always—deep and wide,
Of everything, and what's inside.
You know my soul, I know your face,
Every silence, every grace.
But there’s a line we never cross,
Drawn soft in sand, but heavy with loss.
A whisper hung between each laugh,
A truth we only feel by half.
I see it in the way you pause,
In hands that shake without

When Musing Becomes Music
In whispers of lyric and rhythm, we find,
Resonate echoes, the heart intertwined.
To contemplate in shadows, where thoughts softly steer,
Soul steering moments, where dreams draw near.
Dance in the twilight, let melodies flow,
Listen intently, let the beat gently show.
Hear the instruments weave their stories untold,

Holy Spirit
Line of inquiry: fact or fiction? what does it mean in actuality, to be touched by spirit?
in the prolonged whisper of grace,
dewy sweetness, falling like trembling waves
across the moments, through the haze
misty dreams burning,
blessing the shadows with grace
breaking through the hesitant embrace
peace, comforting the days
hope, healing the silence – amazed
I feel the beautiful of a

Unending Light
Light falls across the meadows,
reflecting the gentlest shades of majestic
avocado and olive and jade, all the greens
melting through the shadows,
caressing the endless melodies of peace
pouring forth from the eternal dreams,
rescuing the seeds of yesterday’s grace
arising to spread harmony
peace and prayer and praise…
lifting the sinner from his shame,
promising the spirit
to lead them toward that hope

If You Go Away
If you go away, and my heart breaks
Weeping, for the moments
We spent in the light of the morning
Whispering our dreams, our hearts – memories
Weeping, for the days – we colored with praise,
The nights – we taught the stars to sigh,
The joys, the smiles, the stirrings of insight
The warmth and the healing, the beautiful feelings.
If you

My Shadow
My shadow that follows me everywhere
It will follow me to eternity
If only you were existent
We would fall in love and never part
In unity every moment
Beloved shadow

A Reply To Intact
Life span expires around 100
That final flash behind the brain dies fast —
If I could choose, I’d leave this fleeting land
Beside the man I love, my lifelong friend.
Yet fate is cruel; now I must live on,
As if the one I love has gone away,
Learning how to bear the restless storm,
From someone long lost in my

Passed
In this lonesome world that was robbed of light, you alone came and lit it up, you are my salvation, my hope and my life.
I have regretted letting you go, I desire to have you at my arms length for the rest of my life, but I surmise, you never would want to be with

Flow of Light, Glistening Bright
John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, “I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
I walk past the sorrows
breaking through my silent plans –
plans my heart borrows
from the song flowing through my hands…
song of light, a seeker, believer
resting

Sweet Blessings
The moon and stars surely wept
as night fell and my kindness slept,
breathing out a prayer of hope
to get through the storms, just cope
walking on the night, a shadow
lonely and lost, oh how I owe
my heart and my soul, all that I am
to this Savior who became a lamb
slaughtered by those He died for
making a way

In The Garden
there are days when I feel lonely
yet, I remember
while Adam still lived in the garden
where the moments felt like hours
where blessings flowed from the wonders
where hope beckoned from the shadows
reminding Adam, revealing to Eve
the kindness, the peace, the promise
of love that would never fade away
love that is alive, more powerful than the light
as He walks

The Promise and The Silence the Two Parts Of The Story
The Promise
She was silent, calm — never one for lies.
Always believing in true love,
Her idea of love was someone to rely on,
Someone who’d stand by her
Even when their views didn’t align.
Someone who might not always agree,
But for her sake, stood by her side,
Who’d talk through right and wrong,
And calm her fears when nights were long.
She
