Monday Prayer In the middle of my lostness Wanderings, dark sleep You took the time To search For this one miniscule Lost sheep Good Shepherd, You are the one who Never leaves the one behind Thank you for the saving Of me; body, soul & mind
Not Just Candy on the Top Shining, glorious On top That bright red Cherry Gleaming, glistening On top of whipped crème A most delicious berry Just a nice add-on Makes it more enticing Milkshake underneath Solid, frothy Coming closer to being Desired But tis an unnecessary Thing Does not decrease Or increase The shake beneath Or detract from its Power To make us wish it To devour I sometimes think Of God & Christ We have made Like that cherry That piece on top of stuff A small enhancement, Merely a small piece Of fluff In comparison to That solid milkshake Rest of our lives Are we really going to Wait until our body dies To see reality, God’s importance, Why wait until that time Of crisis? Today, make God The solid majority Of your life Desire most The Lord Of all the angelic hosts The center of your being As ephemeral you become & more fleeting!
Troubled Soul
Troubled Soul,
Troubled Soul,
Do not sit
In the darkness’s glow
It’s angry face
Leaves only the sting
And disgrace
Of rejection
Sitting in a brackish cell
Formed by cruelty
Coming only from hell
Troubled Soul
Hear these words
For your pain there
Is a certain cure
Above this darkened
Black air
Over your bowed head
And tangled hair
A small light glows
Comes from Heaven
To let you know
There is a someone
Who knows your name
Wishes to discharge your pain
Forever
Christ loves your heart
Which has sat in the dark
For too long
So raise your head
Listen to every word
Being said
Inside your spirit
He will implant His own
There His truest Love
& Graces
Will forever be sown!
In the Snow
In the snow
They go
These blue-grey ghostly,
Shadowy footprints in the white
Maybe even dead of night
To and fro
They never seem to
Slow
Even up the steps
They go
Do you possibly
suppose
Unbeknown they
May leave behind,
Expose.
A small piece of each
Imprint-owner’s Soul??
In The Beginning Chronicle III Eden’s glory on Full review In yellows, Greens & Brilliant azure blues Unflawed life With Perfection’s love No displeasure felt About which to sigh Walking under clearest skies Nor reason or complaint Over which to die Wait, what is that, To die? Understood not yet Or known No pain or regret With which to live Only joy & love A thing called death Living only in the shadows Air is always clean & fresh Only peace is Ever seen Between earth, sky & the sea Man & all animals Live only & always In harmony to be Food abundant Work is no toil No displeasure there To ever despoil Its sense of purpose Or the ease Of life lived under Gentle trees Swaying softly overhead At night only rest Is found in all their beds Until one day With a slight chill An unknown shadow passes A rustling in the grasses Never heard before The man stopped to sniff The air The woman paused to express only a mild care But in naivete On that most unusual day Neither knew from Experience they lacked What formidable evil Slithered, Invading their Paradise Now lurking & looming Behind their backs

I got the opportunity to do a book review of a new book of poetry. It is the first book for Kathi Burg, and is available on Amazon.
This is a lovely little book containing uplifting messages for anyone struggling through difficult circumstances. With simple yet clear writing, Kathi leaves uplifting words for life’s difficulties and dark struggles. God is in the middle of all our valleys in life and wants to love us through and in the middle of them. You will enjoy the hope that these poems will leave you with. Almost every poem is illustrated with beautiful pictures that colorfully convey the meaning behind the verses.
Have a blessed day!
