Familiar
There are untold stories Of lives shattered Hearts hardened by immense pain There are unknown wounds Of souls forgotten Abandoned by the broken How do you love when You never knew love? How do you nurture When you were never held? Untold lives Going through the motions Playing a part Never disclosing the star they…

FACES
Faces We don’t really see Or look hard enough To notice someone Faces Lovely, aged, soft, brittle We don’t really see We fear truly looking And we fear being seen Faces Tell a story Faces Beautiful, mysterious Faces Harsh and weathered Carry so much history The story of a life Lived Squandered Endured Survived Enjoyed…

MOMENTS
You’d never see it coming in your wildest dreams. You’d never imagine redemption to write a story this beautiful. [Photo by Ali Inay on Unsplash] Moments are fleeting Their value is never recognized until after their gone Some return, again and again, a gift of grace Others only come once or twice And hope to…

Questions
When do we come together and do we ever? When do we accept what we can’t and will we ever? When does life stop hurting and is it meant to? God is not afraid of my questions In fact, He welcomes them! I pray to be as brave as Him I pray to be as…

The Embrace of Healing
My resolve has fled into the dark night And has taken hope with it. The mystery is I don’t mind it. Not at all. Hope is a heavy burden When it comes with unrealized expectations. Were my expectations to high? Too lofty? Are kindness and compassion too much to ask for? I’m indifferent, which is…

INNOCENCE
Innocence Pure and beautiful Unreserved Wide open Trust It’s currency Oh so rich in wonder love abundant Laugher It’s language Darkness comes To wound To steal To kill The soul Of innocence Grief Sorrow it’s offering You said Oh King To be As them A child Your kingdom’s glory The world A place that robs…

LONGING
Longing Buried beneath every question Beneath disappointment It calls out Longing It weeps beneath the rubble of past mistakes of wounds so deep Longing It moves Within me Tossed and swelling Bellowing Whispering Alive Latent yet swelling Longing Longing Concealed in apprehension Alive with promise Tension that keeps it Hiding, waiting Oh that it would…
