I don’t get to call you anymore For prayer, encouragement, or a laugh. I don’t get to see you anymore For a hug, a smile, or just to hang out. Time and death stole you away …And you so young (at least to me)! My heart hurt when I found out you were sick But […]

John
Been thinking ‘bout you a lot lately. It’s easy on the mind to let it go that way, Just like you’re easy on the eyes. Hey, baby, can we just hang together today? I think about the way you walk, Intent on getting somewhere, anywhere, And you don’t slow down because Strolling along hurts your […]
Plant My Feet
Cleanse my heart; Lord, make me new. Draw me closer, please, to You. Take the sin within my heart. Grant me, God, a brand new start. For I am weak, and I am worn. I’m tired of feeling, oh, so torn. My eyes and heart have wandered far. Please, Jesus, be my northern start. In […]
Morning Oblation
Each morning, Lord, I come over the hill and see The vista You’ve laid out for the day. Sometimes, it’s bright and sunny. Sometimes, it’s cloudy and overcast, But whatever it is, I am fascinated With the way You paint the landscape. The foggy mornings with a bit of sun, Peeking out between multi-colored clouds, […]
Orion
Hello, Orion, brightly shining in the winter night. As time moves on, your stars aligning give my heart delight. I still declare when seeing you that there is always hope, For you’re prepared, you’ve set your view with all encompassed scope. The hunter’s bow is ever ready to supply the food you need. The warrior […]
Brilliant Iris
I saw the sun the other morning Peeking through a crevasse in the clouds Like a brilliant iris of light, (Too bright to see the color) Staring through the vast, dark grey eyelids. Even when the sun rose to its hidden place Behind the upper mass of moisture, The brightness of that spot drew my […]
Wind and Fire
Upon reflection, I must disagree with you. The Spirit still comes with wind and fire To those who need His mighty touch, Whether we are babes or long in the faith. He is the I AM after all is said and done… Great in power, mighty in deed, Overwhelmingly here when He is manifestly present. I will […]
River Richly Flowing
Life is a river richly flowing, Freely teeming with people, nations, and happenings, All mingled in Your Spirit’s purposes. Past, present, future…mesh together because Nothing limits Your hand at work. You are our life. You give us our very existence. You pour through every moment, every molecule With the power of Your love— Sparkling with […]
This Time Around 12/23/2011
The year seems to fly by so fast anymore. I wish sometimes that I could just yank on the reigns, Stop the wild horses from dragging me along… For me, savoring each moment takes extra effort of will. Before I know it, I’ve missed More moments than I’ve noticed. The minutes, hours, and days, sneak […]
