Miscellaneous Fun with Poetry

restless freedom
a little blue sky time
feet in the sand
waves crashing

~


9am
The soul sisterhood, kindred spirit, coffee drinking
Gathering begins

 ~

Kindred hearts
Discuss God, life, favorite books
And joy blossoms

~

The forest beckons
Playfully, bounding
Full of winter sunlight
And laughter

~

Speak shame withers
Lies exposed to the light
Vanquished
Not perfect – good and bad in us
But not a lost cause either – redeemable
Covered by grace

~

Scared she was
            What if the words wouldn’t come
            What if she ventured out into nothingness
                        Where would that take her?
                        Where would that leave her?
                                    Empty.
                                                Alone.
                        Or.
            Somehow. Miraculously. Surprisingly.
                                                Filled.
            After all, God’s blessings come in
                        Unexpected Ways.
                        She wrote.
            The fear was vanquished
                        By Grace.
            The words unfurled
                        Not perfectly or always easily
                        But truly, beautifully, joy-filled.
                                    An act of faith
                                    And love.
                        And where the words came from?
                                    That was often a mystery
                                    Of Divine Love and Providence.
            As when she wrote,
                        She experienced God’s wonderful presence
                                    And pleasure
                                                The delight of Life together.
                                                Never alone. Loved forever. Deeply glad.
