Clarity sparkles like the sun glinting off the water. Thoughts flow smoothly along Following the light toward a definite goal, (It all makes so much sense!) Till vision takes shape, and words Start falling into place one by one or Sometimes phrases at a time… My story unfolds itself into a comfortable couch. Here I […]

There Are Stars!
There are stars! There are stars! So, I stare with the eyes of a child- Forever awed by the sparkling lights In the wide open blackness above me. The oh-so-familiar shapes whisper wonder Into my soul as I track them across the sky. Some I can name and some I cannot, but I don’t care… […]
For Jeff
He was my friend. Somehow, I always expected to see him again. Walking through the halls, talking on the phone, Coming to see me and make me a little less alone At this big giant desk in a big empty room. He’d say, “Hello, sunshine!” just to make me smile, Or sometimes he just came […]

Focus
Focus on You? Clutter obfuscates every effort- From fragments of failures To clashing communication lines Clouding my concentration. You… Seem so obvious and easy, Then circumstances trip me. Sin entangles me. Emotions choke the life out of me, But… You… Are LIFE- Living Water, Bread of Life, Holy Hope eradicating despair, Sustenance feeding my Faith. […]
Never More Than He
I wonder sometimes if I will find calm again, Some stillness in the middle of turmoil. I am used to being tossed and buffeted about. I find peace on the inside when all outside Says there should be none, Then the unexpected pierces my heart again In the old places of pain and I am […]
