He Blessed me

cradled by Loving Arms

He blessed me.

the smell of love and heaven upon Him

He blessed me.

safe in His Embrace

sheltered from the world around me

He blessed me.

the visit

feet first.

shuffling to the door.

so tenderly. so carefully. so gently.

smile second.

carefully placed on a long-ago face.

i introduce myself and you graciously let me enter.

not knowing what to do with the hot meal i brought.

put it away, i suppose.

with the other things that you’ve forgotten.

In All Things

Thank You LORD for everything in my life.

Thank You LORD for everything in my…

Thank You LORD for everything in…

Thank You LORD for everything.

Thank You LORD for…

Thank You LORD.

Thank You.

Thank…

the feelings flooding through me

carry me on waves.

seas rising and falling

lifting me up and then drowning me…

You.

Your Peace fills me, comforts me, warms me.

No one has ever made me feel the way I do…

like You have.

Your Words are lifeblood to me,

Trust Fall

I turned 17 today for the second time in my life.

the fear and shame oppressing every cell in my body…

once again sitting with you.

prodded on by a “did you tell him your plans?”

Birthday Memorial

Today is your birthday.

Again.

365 days have passed since the last one…

so many of those filled with thoughts of you…memories…laughs…reflections.

Library Beethoven

the tears threaten to surface.

surrounded by people and yet I am the only one here.

watching your fingers fly from black to white has sharpened my senses…

some days

most days this world is much too much for me.

too much beauty and too much ugliness.

too much terror and fear surrounds me…

Change is coming

There’s a change happening.

I feel it.

In the wind. In the sky. In my soul.
