Spring Break Bliss February 25, 2012

Poolside
under the hot
sun and blue sky, white clouds
float by, soaking up the warmth
of friends.

In the Dead of Winter January 10, 2010

Blinding, brilliant sun
Bursting forth from Heaven
Brightest. bluest sky
In the dead of winter.

Transforming, purifying
the frozen landscape
long buried under mountains
of cold truth’s escape.

Remembering
there is no such thing
as the end.
Through God’s love
forever and ever
we transcend.

Dream World December 21, 2009

Early to rise

All around me is quiet.

Words drift down
Let loose from the riot.

Opening up
As it comes and goes.
With bluest ink
Through me it flows.

Slowly it weaves
Like a soul-filled prayer
Until suddenly it deems
I’m ready to share.

With a spirit that it will touch.
And a mind that with me will think too much.
And a heart with praise that it will gush.

I’ll drink in truth
And wash away sin.
Ready as the rest
Of the day begins.

An afternoon soaking
In the bright sunshine
Amid living waters
Feels divine.

Into the evening
Great company gathers.
Exactly what’s for dinner doesn’t matter.
Whatever the fare, we don’t care
We’re fed by the energy
That sizzles in the air.

Joy and laughter
Propel our feet.
Finding the music
We dance to the beat.

Contentment that is found
In a day well-lived
Sparks genuine intimacy
No longer hid.
More perfect than just right.
Held in its embrace
We sail through the night.

Pleasantly surprised
I find other souls
Seeking parallel lives.
Not exactly the same
But similar enough
To feel kind of strange.

Deeply I’m comforted
They will call this home.
Here in my dream world
I will not be alone.
