What you can't outrun

Romans 3:10 There is no one doing what is right not even one

Watch the news there's nothing to guess. We are made to be like our Creator, Designed for caring and love. That's why we must cast our eyes above. Countless times I've been hurt and...

Premium Member What is Too Beautiful?
What could be too beautiful to describe? A sunset golden in the western sky. Poetic words of wonder locked inside. Music so melodic, it makes one cry. What is so lovely, it happens unseen? Thankfulness growing in a grateful heart. Division of two from an unborn gene. The passing of passion within the dark. What words bring peacefulness to solemn ears? “From all candidates,...

Premium Member But what lies beneath the shadow of the night you wear like a heavy cloak?
But what lies beneath the shadow of the night you wear like a heavy cloak? What do you see in the mirror when all the masks fall off and fade into nothingness? Pure white, cold light that bathes the wound, is all that remains beneath the layers of silence. Your scars, what do they truly hide, and what...

Premium Member What Do You Most Desire?
Time is burning and the world's on fire. Tell me, love, what you most desire. Tell me what your heart has hidden. Is it open? Or forbidden? If forbidden, think of days racing past in roaring haze. Shocked and shaken by the blast of fire, tell me, love, what you most desire. Tell me, love, what you most desire. Dainty foods and...

What is My Purpose
Author Dana Redricks April 25, 2025 The questions that flood my mind. Who am I, what is my purpose, and where do I belong? I know I can't make it on my own. Just trying to figure it all out, sometimes I just want to scream and shout. Trying to let you know me when I don't...

It Is What It Is
The phrase hangs in the air, a shrug disguised as truth, A verbal period, ending further proof. "It is what it is," we say when reasons fail, When logic falters and the winds prevail. Is it acceptance quiet and serene? Or resignation, a defeated scene? A boundary drawn beyond which we won't strive, A comfortable cage where possibilities die? The river flows unburdened...

What Remains
She sang me to sleep with a voice like flint— sparks tucked under lullabies. Spoons clattered in the sink like cymbals in a warning. She kissed my grazed knee then asked why I always fall. Love was measured in thirds: a gaze, a sigh, a withheld "well done". At dawn, she watered dead plants just in case. I mistook her absence for freedom. Now I trace her shadow across my choices....
