Eclipse

I visited darkness today.

not total, yet partial.

an eclipse in my mind,

going through hallways.

wake-up call

a bird flew by this morning.

breaking the stillness of the air…

flapping wings broke my concentration.

Patio Artwork

Birds chirp.

Sun casts moving shadows.

Illuminating designs in stucco.

A different framed picture

every few minutes on my patio.

Who knew sunrise could be so fun?

Untitled

I walked to school one day,

along the dirt path.

 

It was worn from more than 4 years of travel.

Sunday Afternoon

Rocking gently in my boat on air.

Swaying in rhythm to the chimes,

The tune it plays brings me to the brink of sleep.

Distant traffic is drowned out by dog whimpers and nails on concrete

To-Do List

The quiet fills my brain.

Pushing in on all sides, it laughs at me.

Laughs at all the things I have to do, but as of now are still undone.

The silence is loud and screams at me…

to do and do, no time for you.

Guilt chimes in as I contemplate

my day’s, week’s, month’s to-do list.

As the quiet threatens me,

shakes its fist at me,

I hear Your voice…almost as low as the quiet.

Rest.in.Me.

The quiet noise retreats at His rebuke and I.choose.Him.

I rest.

Rejuvenation

I ate Your Words today.

Rainbow-colored and sweet as honey.

They went down…

To my inmost parts where You reside.

Peace-filled and joyous…

I continued on.
