By the Blood of Jesus
By the blood of Jesus
we are cleansed
of our sins
so much so
that God
even erases
the fingerprints.

Uninspired
My muse lays sleeping
ignoring my pleas to wake
wanting only to keep dreaming.
But I cannot see those dreams!

Resurrection Day
It’s not just any day
but the Day He rose
like a rose blooming
forever, never to fade.
His fragrance fills my life.

Uninspired Still
I wanted my muse to dance with me
but I was just handed a bouquet
of artificial flowers.
Now what am I supposed to do with that!

Busy!
I forgot to eat lunch
left it cooling
in the microwave,
running all around
doing year end things.
The phone keeps ringing
interrupting everything,
then I have to start over
if I ever want to
get anything done.
Don't call me!

"my Pine Tree"
(My very first poem)
I used to hide
In my pine tree
I could feel safe and big
Sitting in my monkey fort.
Now I can't
They say I'm too old
Instead I sit in the cafeteria
Eating my bananas.
(C) 1971, 1998 RosaSheila Barrera
This poem was published in "LA FONT" a high school literary collection.......

Lizard With Suntan
Big fellow
your tan is so dark
I thought you were
a mouse!
Out of the corner
of my eye
you darted
into the bushes
so fast
your form
was just a dart
from Cupid's arrow
that missed my heart.
I'm sorry I scare you so
I guess we could
never be
lovers.

Dead Snake In the Road
Your broken body
strewn in pieces
up, down the road
reminds me the enemy
cannot win in the end.
You were just an innocent
one who lived in a garden
though your shiny black scales
would make one think otherwise
since snakes symbolize evil.
I feel sorry for you.

G000gle
Like a friend
G000gle always finds me
what I need
though not always
what I want.
G000gle even tells me
a little about myself
though he misses
some of the important stuff.
G000gle, I'm telling you,
there's always more
than meets the eye;
you need to look
deep within.

Acclaim
If you could see them
eagerly consuming your words
eyes so wide open
only to blink
when absolutely necessary.
They can't wait
to get to the end
only to want the beginning
to be there for them
all over again
though in a way
they have never yet seen.
It's time to write the next one!

You Made the Best Coffee
I remember how
you'd heat the leche
to make me a cafe con leche.
You'd use that special sock
to strain the grounds
fresh ground!
We'd sit and talk
by the window
watching our "kids" playing
in the back yard.
They'd bark to come in
wanting to share in the aroma
of your special roast
imported from Argentina
just like you!
I miss you, dear.

This Leopard Wasn'T Too Swift
This leopard wasn't too swift
she'd just given birth
so she needed to rest for awhile.
Soon she'll be back at the hunt
her young in need
she too will feel the hunger.
Don't let the snake take her young
it swims through the grass
looking for its own tasty meal.
Maybe the snake would make a good meal.

Holy Spirit, Mine
Holy Spirit, Mine
You are the dove
nesting in my heart
warming my soul.
You make my tent
cozy to be in
full of Your Word.
You shoot arrows
catching the enemy
right in the eye.
Your wind blows
my sorrows away
with sweet aromas.
Your fire burns
each sin of mine
past the shadows.
You guide me gently
along this river
that is my life.
I am grateful.

When My Computer Sleeps
The peacefulness of its blue light
blinking into my catnap
never stirs me from my daydreaming,
rather lets me know
my computer is waiting for my next move.
Just like the cursor
when it turns on and off,
that blinking blue light tells me to come
whenever I'm ready, so my computer will be too,
it seems to love the touch of my fingers.
I'm only so happy to be obliged.
