POETRY
Pieces of My Soul
LOVE IS EVERYTHING
Like the melody
That whispers through me
As you play with words and grace
Intimacy that fills my thoughts
Joy which lifts me up
Like the breath
Beneath my prayers
Sighing with inspiration
Fulfilling my dreams
Light from a heartbeat
Like the smile
Lingering on my soul
Opening my heart, my mind
To the hope that comes from knowing
Love like this is eternal
Like the kiss
Filled with bliss
Kind and gentle, sentimental
Caressing my thoughts
With a silent warmth
Like the embrace
Caressing my spirit
Singing of laughter, elation
Awakening my mind
To the love that is alive inside
Like a promise
You light up my world
With kindness and beauty
Feelings I can’t replace
You are my wonder, my thanks….
You are the reason I can say
Love is the answer
Love is the key
Love is the satisfaction
Living inside of me and I believe…
Love is everything!
KEEP BELIEVING
Light falling gently
Through naked limbs
In whispers so tender
It reminds me of Him
Breaking through the indigo skies
Like dewdrops, glistening, listening
Son shines down on soft Autumn times
As pretty leaves cascade from heaven
Fiery scarlet, tangerine and gold
Feathery crisp charms from the maples
Painting the earth in faith, hope and love
Dancing through crisp, spicy winds
Like a touch of God’s hand, His finger
Caressing the soul with a tenderness
That leaves the heart aflame, so bright
Vibrant and bold like the colors so old
As the Son kisses the oaks and the birch
Meeting the emerald pine with a hope
For more of this beauty falling on our world
Surrounding our souls with God’s love
It’s the kiss of Autumn’s birth
Lingering for moments on the earth
To enchant the spirit and comfort the soul
With a light that rests on those who listen
To the unconditional love He is giving!
Autumn’s birth is the time for remembering
God has blessed us with more than mere seasons
He has blessed us with tenderness, kindness, feeling
Brought to life by those moments when we’re wonderstruck!
Keep believing!!!
A COLD AND VIBRANT NOVEMBER MORNING
On a cold November morning
Frost wrapped the world in an ashy hue
Sucking the heart from silence
As an optimistic sun gazed through
Naked branches of oak and maple
Peeking through the limbs of gray
Lighting the indigo skies with grace
Dancing, flowing, praising
In waves of enchantment, such riches
Radiating warmth and awaking
The crackle of leaves, stunned
By the bitter air, the chilling stare
Of freezing sparkles on thoughts
Met by the luster of dawn
Revelations caress the mind
Of those who listen to the pulsations
Rumbling through the thoughts
Echoes of dreams, dulled
By reality’s dark plans for the one
Who listens to shadowy feelings
Deprived of hope or faith
Lingering on the edges of silhouettes
Who dread the moment, stirring
To life – the sense of delight
Inspiration and insight
Peppering the darkness in joy
Pleasures like seeds who’ll be growing
Love, the anointing
Of a life full of glory
A frosted November Sunday
Breathless and murky with hues
Of obscure inklings twinkling
Like the hesitating stars
On a quiet night
Flooded with desires, dreams
Amazed by the creation
Blessed by His presence
Even here – among the thorns
Who hasten to bite soft flesh
With frozen barbs, like wire
Bringing the ooze
Of crimson flowing over
Icy cool thoughts
Enriching the heart
With feelings from a deep
Longing, a need
For the belief that imagines
Love is forever
A never ending feeling
Forever giving
Never leaving
Always satisfying
On a cold and vibrant November morning
Love melts the heart
Who is yearning for the promise
Of a feeling that brings
Joy beyond words, more alive
Than the dance that inspires
Poets to write, artists to paint
As hearts unite
To share their life!
