portent

Coming down like a forty day flood,
depression’s bile is in my blood.
Hammering on my soul like thunder.
Ripping through my mind like lightning
with no sign of clear skies.

Fighting the feeling is useless,
for the storm moves on relentless.
I’m a […] Read the rest

Blink of the Eye

Breath deep.
Wait for inner peace.
Untie the knots.
Forget about it.

It’s just a small part of your small life.
It may seem like an eternity to overcome,
but it’s just a blink of the eye.

Be calm.
Wait for the chaos to […] Read the rest

a thousand brief winters

Sometimes I can just put it out of my mind.
It drops away like the final leaf on a naked tree
leaving me ready to stand against the winter.

A brief coldness that passes like a sharp wind,
and I realize it’s better to bloom than worryRead the rest

boundless

rising out of the sky
through puffs of cotton clouds
are the aspirations of a soaring soul.

undaunted by the pull of earth
into the weightlessness of silent space
where physical constraints no longer take their toll

on a life released.

Bright New Child

what’s going to happen to me?
today.

in all my possible futures.

what has already happened to me?
yesterday.
the day before.
in all my muddled past.

is my future predestined

in the vastness of the universe His seat of power.
in the complexity of nature a delicate touch of His hand.

God is here,
waiting for you with undiminished […] Read the rest

Happiness

Upon the path are many wonders.
Some I feared.
Some I treasure still.
But most I have forgotten.

Only half way through the journey though
did I find what mattered most.
It joined me early in my walk.
Stayed with me patiently
until […] Read the rest

Favorite Son

I was his favorite.
I don’t know why
(well maybe I do),
but I knew.
So, I could not disappoint him.
So, I hid my self from him.
And still I was revealed.

But from God I cannot hide
my weaknesses,

glimpse

sweet swells of music in the dead of night.
rhythmic waves wafting through the timeless twilight.
or in the searing heat of summer,
a boogaloo beat that just won’t quit.

the pounding surf of your soul,
glimpsing the mysterious music of the whole.

a daring dance […] Read the rest

blossom

soothing escape into happiness.
brighter skies on brand new time.

no harsh confinement in loneliness.
no brooding storms over ominous times.

in a flash of the mind,
new awareness.
in windswept horizons of primeval terrain,
new consciousness.

like a blossom of omnipotence.
the infinity […] Read the rest
