Crazy Crazy

Posted on by Cara

I drive myself crazy. I’m sure I’ve said that before, but What in the world is the matter with me??? I want to do everything… anything… [sigh] I’m starting to realize I just can’t. So I do what comes to mind, What comes to hand, What crosses my path, When I can, as best I […]

Re-Center My Soul, Lord Jesus

Posted on by Cara

Re-Center My Soul, Lord Jesus My day is filled with this conversation or that piece of paper Emails bombard me, the phone interrupts me, Everyone needs something as quickly as possible… Then five o’clock comes and I fight traffic to get home, By six if I’m lucky. Only my evening rapidly crowds in on me […]

Give Pause…

Posted on by Cara

Give pause… The morning light peeks over the horizon To break up the shadows of night Till day takes its place and the sun Leaps up into the open expanse. Give pause… The clouds turn dark and dense with rain Breaking in with renewal and life-giving moisture As thunder and lightning speak, “Holy, Holy, Holy,” […]

They used to be little people depending on me To tell them what to think, How to figure things out, What the answers were to Whatever knotty problems they faced.

Are We Done Yet?

Posted on by Cara

It’s nice to know I’m listened to, and read and understood– At least that’s what they tell me all the time. But I can think of only one who speaks his mind (and should) That I don’t prompt for feedback on a rhyme. I go along and write a verse or poem here and there […]

Moonlight

Posted on by Cara

Beautiful she Sits with dignity— Tail wrapped about her feet, Black as midnight, A bit of moonlight Glowing on her chest, Green eyes slowly blinking. Bright sun warms her coat Through the windowpane, But beautiful she Sits regally unaware Of her watcher.

REEVALUATION

Posted on by Cara

The old year passes and the new one Hits me like another wave in a turbulent sea. I forget that I belong to Him sometimes, but This annual reevaluation comes around Reminding me, reproving me, recalling me— A strong silent undercurrent of renewal— Till I stop my busy haste to achieve and Relearn how to […]
