my hour has not come
And so I go in secret
To avoid your glare
Month: February 2018
THE VEIL TEARS
The veil
Tears, exposes
The Holy of Holies,
As our sacred cry emanates
From our
Broken
Hearts that become the dwelling place
Of the Almighty God
Vulnerable
We stand
EYES OF MY HEART
Today I looked up
Saw light dawning in the sky
With eyes of my heart
TILTED
Truth! My CT scan said “Patient appears tilted.” Lol. I was greatly amysed. So it’s official now. I am tilted lol
“Tilted” it said,
“Patient appears tilted,”
So now it’s official,
I’m tilted,
The whole world is tilted,
Flawed,
Marked,
Spinning
Out of control,
When will the spinning stop?
In this
Vortex of fear,
Nothing seems right,
All controls gone,
Powerless I wail,
“Please put me right,
I’m tilted.”
BY THE RIVER – a rondeau
By the river the willow stood
Weeping for all that was lost that was good
Bowed down with grief sore tears did fall
How could she bear this bitter gall
It seemed her name was written in blood
Her life was gone however could
She carry now her cross of wood
With every step she took a fall
By the river
But light would come, the green tree would
Bear again the bright Spring’s bud
Hear once more the sweet birds call
Hope spread its strong wings over all
There never would be old deadwood
By the river
NAILS
You do not need nails
The words you hear crucify
But you will rise up
TESTED
Never ending
The path that we tread
Beset with perils,
Darkest nights
We lose our bearings,
Stretch out our hands,
Feel our way,
Terror strikes us,
In fear we fall,
But there on the ground we find
Bright gems,
Shining,
Again we rise,
Like gold,
Tested,
Tried,
Proved,
In the fires of life
LIVE NOW
Live now
In what you have ,
The present moment holds
All that is and will be this day,
Too soon
Passes
This time into eternity
So precious is all time
God’s gift to us
To live
SNOWDROP LANE
Today
I will walk down
Snowdrop lane, recalling
Times past when I walked the mountains
Climbing
To heights
I had never scaled before, now
Is the hour to scale heights
Again, take me
To Snowdrop lane
TEARS
Tears like gems glisten
When light falls on them
Turning pain to hope
