I’m a pretty avid reader (think 3-5 books a week), and I have been since I was five years old. The thing that trips me up about that is that I have found my time consumed by books that DON’T MATTER in the grand scheme of things, primarily because my favorite reading material is sci-fi/fantasy […]

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.

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 […]
Feel the Season Changing

You are astonishing, Lord! It amazes me to stand here As your hand slowly unfolds To reveal the tiny gift inside. The waiting isn’t over, but It seems as if Your plan is clear. My friends are rejoicing With some reserve as of yet. But life bundled up in a baby boy Just bounces around […]

Giving Up The Sin Within
I’ve been a quiet angry mass Of seething feelings, shattered glass, And though I seemed a peaceful soul Within me was a great big hole Where at some point in my dismay, I tried to hide myself away. But it has been a brutal bout— A battle huge within, without. For though I tried to […]
Sing A Song (1/5/11)
Sing a song, a pretty song, To tell the world you love Me. Sing it strong; sing all day long, Sing “just becauseâ€? and freely.

…Maybe (10/20/10)
Just when I think I’ll be fine… Things are going to be okay, Life is going to settle down… Something happens. In my life “somethingâ€? is usually not small; It’s a right-down-to-the-wire MAJOR issue. According to Erma Bombeck, “Normal is a setting on the washing machine.â€? So, really, normal is a relative term. “Normalâ€? for […]
