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.

Your wind whispers in my ear,

I inhale Your fragrance

As deeply as I can, it goes in…

Down to the bottoms of my feet

Untitled

Gliding through atmosphere,

my eyes can’t seem to focus on the changing shades of grey around me.

Twisting, turning, shrinking, growing, continually morphing right in front of me.

Confusion and fear threaten to overtake my ever-quickening heart.

Friendly Departure

Standing next to  you I feel a mixture of sadness and contentment.

Sadness that our path has led us to a fork in the road and now we must part ways,

Sadness that our journeys shall continue separately…

Some thoughts on evening’s beauty

The evening’s beauty bewitches me.

Holding my gaze as sun-outlined clouds drift along…

Slow and steady, constantly shape shifting as they pass overhead.

The brilliant, golden rays break through the dark side of the clouds..

Friendly Visit

I broke down today.

Foundations bared.

Fortified walls reduced to rubble.

On hands and knees, back shuddering in rhythm with my sobs.

Despair threatening me, beckoning…

Calling in sugar-coated whispers how good it felt to have me back.

Spring Day

Planted by a stream

my roots are nourished by You.

Swaying to & fro with the winds…

but I stand firm.

Surrounded

I am surrounded by blessings…the invisible air, sometimes allowing itself to be seen…filled with twirlings of leaves in the fall…nature’s confetti beckoning me to join in the celebration.

Breathing in the scent of autumn, smiling, holding on to my hat…it thinks it’s old enough to go to the party without me.

I spot blessings through windows. hurriedly checking their blessings in. racing to and fro, hellos mixed in with scarves, sweaters, and lunchboxes.
