If I could write, I’d tell of all I know, Which isn’t much, for all I have to show. This sense of self inside of me, This thing that drives me to be free, Is just a formless mass of feelings, though… I try to write the deeper things inside. Though most of me prefers […]

Shadows On The Water
I stand, anger in hand, covered in The tattered remains of my self-worth. The futility of banging my fist against The stone wall of another’s hostility and unforgiveness Leaves me breathless and beaten and worn, Wondering when, or if, things will change. No matter how big the anger or How hard the beating, Things remain […]
I Sit Here
I sit here thinking on the things I wish I’d done I have reason to believe I’m not the only one Who wishes now for what could be instead But I’m certain that the chance of that is dead Past moments consequences wrought Past tears poured out with too much thought The depth inside my soul, […]
Fall Musings
The leaves crunch satisfactorily under my feet As I plod steadily on in the chill wind, Under the multihued grays in the sky overhead. Fall moves forward in its relentless way While I muse silently, slowly, ceaselessly… Somehow, I want my mountains to move, My crooked ways straight, my rough places smooth. Some moments I […]
Just Because!
I lift up Christ, the coming King …Just because I can. I will give thanks in everything …Just because I can. In spite of all I choose to praise Him …Just because I can. I worship, glorify and raise Him …Just because I can. And just because I’m able to, I’ll sing to Jesus all […]
Leaving The Nest
Feeling way out on a cliff’s edge here… The ground looks so far away and I’m not so sure about this flying business. “push, pushâ€? “nudge, nudgeâ€? Quit shoving already!!! The net a few feet down just disappeared. Sooo… I’m trying to decide if I should jump and take my chances (Crashing onto the ground […]
No Boxes Allowed
The possibilities are endless they say. Start here; move over there; then Swing around and end up someplace else entirely. Somehow it all ends up uniquely suited For the person willing to expand his vision— No boxes allowed here. The vast expanses of the universe are Teeming with unused, unspent ideas just Waiting for someone […]
When I Stand
When time is done and I shall stand alone Before my judge on God Almighty’s throne, No questions asked or answered, He will know Each detail of the time I spent below. By grace I stand within His righteousness, But He will test my heart’s own faithfulness. Did I love Him, keeping His commands, And […]
The Puddle
There, I went and did it without even realizing it. I forgot myself again. I got so bogged down with all the stuff of life, My thoughts swirled in meaningless, overlapping circles. Words flying this way and that in some Mixed jumble of complete and utter nonsense Until I sat down, let loose the wildness […]
TO DIE IS GAIN
On this tough path, you want to run Against the flow, O foolish one. But what you think you want, you know Leads only through a rougher road. For willful longing brings much pain. (To live is Christ, to die is gain.) So let this go and lay it down. Take up the cross, and […]
