Reached Poems - Poems about Reached

I had overeaten. So I reached inside myself And pulled up whatever could be pulled up From strength that I could muster up I labored long and hard And eventually brought forth Snow capped mountains And sky scrapers dignified by the rays of the sun And the tallest pines with cones intact And stars draped with clouds, silver lined And song birds with half-sung melodies...

Walking, walking, walking! Impossibly long stretches of walk, Miles and miles of uncertain journey, In blazing sun, in sweltering heat, Tranquil villages with shady trees, Home, the destination! Thirsty, hungry, bleeding, exhausted! With fatigued wives and starving barefoot children they trudge, Little babies hanging like sandbags from their shoulders, they stumble, Tears dry on children’s cheeks! Men and women…they walk, walk, walk until...

??Isaiah? ?59:1?-?2? ?NIV?? [1] Surely the arm of the Lord is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear. [2] But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear. Oh, God that I would question your reach For it was...

WHEN i write of sleeping/lived Christ, i see him at midnight in a crucified way, love wrought-out with grace: the blood on the walls, the lusty grief, the artist lying on freezing pavement, like a drunk in an apartment. Always?for whom in whom: for the Lord. Over it, dreams are made, then screams are made, grief, pain, loss, longing, fierce...

At first dark clouds then a droplet fell. Gathering strength, small puddles appeared and began to swell. It's raining! It's raining! My neighbor joined in my cries. Is it the rain, or tears in my eyes. I reached out my hand as if to grasp the heavenly spigot to make it last....

Wrapped in white burial shrouds and only seven This little girl is now making her way to heaven The Myanmar junta forces battered her door Made their way inside all in the name of war Gun shots were fired and screams were heard Killing this child is simply downright absurd What had this child done for them...

By God’s route I’m reached out marked with love from above… Feeling blest heart with zest thanks His grace of faith brace… Bliss-filled soul fulfills role shines as light with peace might… My mind prays with truth rays for wisdom midst boredom… Propped with hope joyous scope my spirit trusts Christ’s writ… Gladly freed from vain greed hands do share wondrous care… Revived now I do vow live* for Him from self’s whim. *Galatians 2:20 … The life which I...

They are walking! Walking, walking, walking!  Long stretches of walk - hundreds of miles of impossible uncertainty, in blazing sun, in sweltering, muggy, heat - running away from an Inferno.  Home, sweet home! Villages with shady trees!  Destination!  Thirst, hunger, bleeding.  They trudge, fatigued babies hanging on their shoulders like sandbags,  starving infants clutching hands, tears dry on their cheeks. Men and...
