in pieces

part of something bigger
each piece contains
the whole
and yes, remembers
I believe

the other side of the door

unknown treasures
adventures
and possibilities dwell
just out of sight
be bold
be brave
turn the lock
open the door

Something creative

 
Words come hard
when they come at all
but creativity flows
with each breath
the stirring of soup
the folding of a towel
a camera snap
fingertips on my beloved's arm
silent prayer

New steps

 

Rejoice in what has gone before
it made us who we are
but without looking back
take the new steps before you
following no footprints but His

Juggling sweet


For as long as I can recall
I have juggled words
tossing them high
to watch where they'd land
relishing the sound
savoring the taste
the infinite possibility
of stringing letter after letter
to touch a heart

Knocking...

 

Poetry has been knocking on my doors for most of my fifty-six years.
There were times that I locked tight the latches
but I am throwing myself wide open
allowing words to have their way

I am searching too

Spirit of the poets

It is the rhythm of the dancers
That gives the poets life
It is the spirit of the poets
That gives the soldiers strength to fight
from City on the Hill by Casting Crowns
Mark Hall/Matthew West 


May I continue to hold
 rhythm, spirit, strength
Yes.  I am a poet.

White hot


Passion I have never lacked
wild and unrestrained
often burning white hot
melts the very things I love...

Adding sweetness


Speaking truth in love,
with sweetness to soften the sharper edges 
the example given by the great apostle Paul. 
May I do the same...


Jumping into the candy box with L.L. Barkat today

Sweet play...


When it becomes work, 
I know I have stopped listening...
