Premium Member That Night
So 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,...

Premium Member 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...

Habakkuk 1:2
He 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 Love
O 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...

A Prayer For Life
Life 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,...

Premium Member 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. ...
