POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Footsteps
Holy Spirit walks with me
tells me to the left or right
guides me through the dark
reveals all things to me
the world has no meaning now
and I could never turn back
for the steps of a righteous man
are ordered by the Lord
my anxiety has gone
all fear has disappeared
sadness falls to the wayside
anger dissipates like smoke
you take delight in my growth
and I welcome your correction
I wear your words around my neck
and they keep my heart close to you
tells me to the left or right
guides me through the dark
reveals all things to me
the world has no meaning now
and I could never turn back
for the steps of a righteous man
are ordered by the Lord
my anxiety has gone
all fear has disappeared
sadness falls to the wayside
anger dissipates like smoke
you take delight in my growth
and I welcome your correction
I wear your words around my neck
and they keep my heart close to you

Assurance
your love never fails
and is forever present
cradles my inner man
leads me to all truth
refreshes me continually
your eternal promise
and selfless sacrifice
I give you my cares
as I enter your rest
tranquility reverberates
I take up your yolk
assured of your peace
and is forever present
cradles my inner man
leads me to all truth
refreshes me continually
your eternal promise
and selfless sacrifice
I give you my cares
as I enter your rest
tranquility reverberates
I take up your yolk
assured of your peace

Grace
your empowering presence guides me
lights my path through the dark
nurtures the seeds you have planted
covers me like a blanket of new fallen snow
trains me in your glorious ways
follows me for all of my days
brings a smile to my face
helps my little light shine so bright
gives me courage so I know no fear
lights my path through the dark
nurtures the seeds you have planted
covers me like a blanket of new fallen snow
trains me in your glorious ways
follows me for all of my days
brings a smile to my face
helps my little light shine so bright
gives me courage so I know no fear

Thank You
thank you for your peace this day
which surpasses human knowledge
and is greater than anything the word has
thank you for the joy as I read your word
for infilling the places where I need it
and for guiding my steps this day
which surpasses human knowledge

Fragrance
I am a pleasing fragrance to Him
the one who set me free
patience, love, gentleness and others
fruit from when He hung on the tree
He is purer than spring rains
more patient than a granite mountain
kinder than the warmth of the sun
sweeter than wild honey
I am a new creation in Him
and I have the spirit of the living God
He dwells inside and is forever there
the power that raised Him lives inside of me
I am a flower whose petals are barely open
yet my perfume pleases Him
His word quietly nurtures me ...

Time
everything takes time to grow
or so the story goes
in the infinite wisdom of creation
He said it and made it so
His true beauty and love is nurtured
we must learn to crawl before we walk
patience in the development of love
because nothing is instantaneous
the world wants immediate gratification
but there is composure in things that matter
spiritual growth leads to wisdom
one cannot exist without the latter
dreams may in time come to fruition
but the seeds need to germinate
I study his word and...

Your Voice…
speaks so quietly to me
a barely audible whisper
so I still my carnal mind
to hear your love for me
I meditate on your truths
with peace and reverence
and my renewed spirit
lets my light shine though
time slows in your presence
like clouds adrift in the sky
they are filled with the rains
of your wisdom and honesty
I drink and bathe my spirit
so I can be one with you
as it was always meant to be
a barely audible whisper
so I still my carnal mind
to hear your love for me
I meditate on your truths
with peace and reverence
and my renewed spirit
lets my light shine though
time slows in your presence
like clouds adrift in the sky
they are filled with the rains
of your wisdom and honesty
I drink and bathe my spirit
so I can be one with you
as it was always meant to be

Sanguine
droplets at your feet
spur my love for you
through sanguine trickles
pierced as you were
and baring the thorns
that have set me free
from bended knee
you pulled me above
out of an eternal grave
I’ve been washed in red
and made whole again
pure as new fallen snow
you look at me through
eyes grace even as you
hung and took my place
spur my love for you
through sanguine trickles
pierced as you were
and baring the thorns
that have set me free
from bended knee
you pulled me above
out of an eternal grave
I’ve been washed in red
and made whole again
pure as new fallen snow
you look at me through
eyes grace even as you
hung and took my place

Redemption
broken porcelain
chantilly grace
angel intonation
woven in beauty
crystal cheval glass
is new identity
time slows to a trickle
quiet sea of serenity
peace now reality
settles into place
gaze from eternity
reaches from heaven

Risen
new day dawns
the Son is risen
come to the altar
all is forgiven
man in the field
treasure he found
share the good news
of the glory crown
journey’s path never
knows the dark night
move the bushel
be counted as light
for you are holy
righteous and redeemed
gift of life is better
than you’ve dreamed
only your heart to give
but it’s all He requires
belief and a confession
will grant your desires

Truth
dreams bled from a fantasy sky
upon black and white plains
landscape begs for chromatic rains
this empty hearts can’t deny
blown grass bends in veneration
dragonflies are frozen in time
birds are motionless like a forgotten mime
bare trees without conversation
memories of a blotted out sun
mountains look as if they know the score
love passes through a revolving door
in a world that has come undone
upon black and white plains
landscape begs for chromatic rains
this empty hearts can’t deny
blown grass bends in veneration
dragonflies are frozen in time
birds are motionless like a forgotten mime
bare trees without conversation
memories of a blotted out sun
mountains look as if they know the score
love passes through a revolving door
in a world that has come undone

Implanted
dreams planted
in deep valleys
unmoved by
love or hate
time loosens
what’s firmly
wrought
behind the
garden gate
in deep valleys
unmoved by
love or hate
time loosens
what’s firmly
wrought
behind the
garden gate
