That NightSo many years ago...
Yet I remember well.
The night we all prayed... God let us know...
Then on each His Spirit fell.
The certainty that He loves me...
The presence of His love.
The Holy Spirit He set free...
In power from above.
In a dozen men that night who prayed...
In a circle holding hands.
Each of us confused... dismayed...
Ever since...

When the Hammer Falls
I hear the echo, sharp and clear,
The auctioneer draws bidders near.
“One... two...” — my heartbeat skips a beat,
My dreams laid bare beneath their feet.
The years I toiled, the nights I lost,
Now measured out, now coldly tossed.
My labor sold in shouting calls,
Reduced to debt on auction walls.
I left my job, I chased the sun,
Believed in freedom,...

Just Say Yes“JUST SAY YES!”
Evelyn Pearl Anderson
Imagine seeing the LORD God
seated high on His throne
and exalted with His garment
train filling the temple zone
Bright seraphs are seen flying above
with two wings while two more
wings cover the face and two more
cover the feet; they implored
“Holy, holy, holy is the
LORD Almighty; the whole earth
Is full of his glory”
As they...

If You Love MeIf you really do love me,
Do what I say, said Jesus.
Don’t delay or put it off
To some other time
Only today is your special day
To do what I say
So - do what I say today.
Tomorrow’s tomorrow
Completely unknown
Your strong expectation
Your highest of hopes
Your plans and intentions
No certainty know.
No matter how sure
You think you control
God alone...

Habakkuk 1:2He doesn't answer when I scream
Into the dark, into my pillow,
Into the hollow between breaths
Where prayers rot.
Everyone says He listens.
But maybe He doesn't listen to girls like me.
Maybe I'm the mistake in the plan.
The broken thread. The shadow on the altar.
They told me He loves the brokenhearted,
But He watched when it happened,
He watched, and...

If You Are LoveO God of blistered stars and silence,
I crawl to You with blood beneath my nails—
Not theirs, my own.
I tore at shame like bark from skin,
But it rooted deeper still.
Do You see me now?
A cathedral of cracked marrow,
Where hallelujahs rot before they bloom—
I cannot pray without trembling.
The night — I dare not name it —
Stitched its...

Timeless, palindrome
leaves dancing
echoing prayerful winds
stories written in heaven
songs playing, surreal dewdrops
blessings arising
hearts breathing gently
painting shadows
dreams composed of light
times melodies

A Prayer For LifeLife is a flame on trembling thread,
A whisper held by breath and light,
Too oft ignored, too lightly said,
Yet blazing fierce through day and night.
We walk on glass with heavy feet,
Unknowing what we crush below —
A moment's joy, a heartbeat sweet,
A soul we'll never get to know.
The morning dew,...

all we pray forbreath by breath with God connected
is the hope that springs in our heart
that bliss pulsations detected
our true life journey can then start
having renounced desires we are
breath by breath with God connected
for though we had drifted afar
we’re always by Him protected
in our heart’s cave we’ve detected,
His presence as bliss magnetism
breath by breath with God connected
we’ve...

Only love knows
When the stars send their gentle glow, whispering
winking, flirting with the shadows cast over the night’s sky
breaking through the horizon – strewn haphazardly
sometimes so careful to rip a wish from lips, moistened by music
who weeps beyond the pines, the willows, the forest
where burgundy leaves and silence, peace – rises,
willing the light to stir up lyrics...

O' Crescent Glow
O' crescent glow
of perpetual allure,
candescent vigil, spirit light.
Vouchsafe a crystal dream
so I may brave
the solemn eerie night.
But if by chance,
at dawn, this ka,
in slumber's freeze awaits.
With plumage beings
I beseech ascend
to greet God's sentence fate.
