Matthew 10:31 “Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.” While hearts long for the music of light, breaking through the silence, frail – discerning the meaning of grace far truer, grace upon grace grace for the soul who lingers in despair, grief poured over her spirit by the winds who dare to remember the suffering...

Transform My Grumbling Heart
I sing of having gratitude, But then, what is my attitude? I murmur and complain For not receiving rain; Oh LORD, transform my grumbling heart! I write of having thankfulness, But then, I drown in anxiousness, I lament, whine and mourn And make my life forlorn; Oh LORD, transform my grumbling heart! I pen of having gratefulness, But then, am filled...

Morning Birth
Often I gaze In shadows I sought refuge Healing waters from the valley of visions Measured my portion In weaves I sowed my seed Through many days of distortion We Tilled the sky It bore us life In his ways I hope to walk The King of Kings is Yeshua He rose again from the grave Often I gaze In gardens of plenty Toward the east Toward the Valley...

To My Children How I Talk To God
Lord, nobody loves me like you do. Only you know what I'm going through. In You only I place my trust. My mind's saying no, I tell it I must! You Lord are the One who created me. And it is You only that can set me free. Please forgive me for my sins. Grant me victory from within. Tell me Lord what...

Prayer Is Simply Talking To God From Your Heart
It doesn't matter how I pray. Don't need any fancy words to say. God already knows what's in our heart. All you and I need to do is start. I tell Him how I really feel. Or what part of my body that I need healed. I ask forgiveness for things I've done wrong. The Sins in my life that do not...

Unsaid Prayers
She rose at dawn and laid the mat, not from longing, but from old habit. She bowed, then sat, hands curled in form, but the heart lagged— a breath behind. Whispers once lush now stumbled dry— echoes of names once called with fire. The tasbih clinked without intent, rolling bead by bead without a soul. She used to plead, soaking her sleeves, but now she blinked and called it done. Ameen, she mouthed— not out of...

I like poetry that is simple and direct and yet is layered in depth where you can descend as deep as you want to go - poetry that says just enough and no more and leaves things unsaid, fertile ground on which the imagination can grow. I like poetry that finds its roots in nature and ordinary things, listens to what...

Premium Member Intrusive Thoughts
Intrusive thoughts just invaded my mind… Yielded, I welcomed them, and so they came They soon turned as a scene I must behold Making meditation vibrantly real. Oh, these intrusive thoughts have gripped my heart Letting me ponder on my prayer life... First, I faced Miss Skeptic with her arrogant stare Scorning, she yelled at me: “You’re just wasting time!” Minutes later, Mr....

There is a feeling, yet not a feeling it’s more of a sense, sensitivity to the touch, the joy, the love that flows from the One who knows me as I’ve never been known by anyone He knows my heart, my soul, my spirit the fears I’ve felt, the way I’ve met with darkest days and sunlit praise the gentling truths, the music...

The Author of Every Page
Do to others as you seek, Let kindness shine, make prayers unique. Even when they mock and scorn, Still bless them from dusk to dawn. For God, in love so deep and true, Held us close when we withdrew. The Word made flesh drew near to stay, Though we had wandered far away. Upon that Cross, in the darkest night, He interceded for us...
