Twisted Beauty
Long and lithe
Luxurious
In your sensuality
Yet some would only see
A twisted beauty
Gnarled, darkened in spots
Your limbs still dance at
Water’s edge
Yet still of a life to tell
Do you quietly beg
Even though not nearly as bright
as those rainbow’s lights
Cascading upon a watery top
Once you were the same
As any other
Green, alive, strong
For those days perchance
do you still reminisce & long?
But I say with all sincerity
I find your beauty refreshing
Entrancing
It reminds us that life is life
No matter its age
Or regardless of the stage
Within which it is found
God’s love & care perhaps
May yet best be seen or found
Enwrapped around those
Who all their long life
Have best fulfilled the purposes
of His grace, beauty & His light!

In A Crowd
Must I shout out loud
In the middle of this
Moving, teeming crowd
If so,
Then here goes
The main message:
God Loves You
Repent
For the Kingdom of God
Is At Hand Today!!
He is so at hand
That even now He stands
At God’s right shoulder
Just waiting
Now is our time to be bolder
As His great time approaches!
It encroaches
Upon all of human history
For it truly is the world’s
Greatest story
To gather us all back home
But unfortunately,
There are the some
Probably very many
That will refuse to listen
So among those to be saved
There will be great attrition
But today is also our day
Still are many to be saved
So use your voice, believers
Do not be silent any more
For this is our glory,
This job, this chore
To bring more back home,
So they too may also be the achievers
In God’s Love-Filled Paradise!!!
Core Essence
The warmth starts
Purity enters the room
Your core essence
Enters my heart
Love, joy
Contentment
Such as I have never known
On this,
Our ball of Rolling Stone
Glistening, sparkling
Shining
Literally almost blinding
Filling me full
Imparting an evening’s lull
To all chaos or pain
Is this what it will be like
Or I suspect even better
In your forever’s paradise?
To let loose, unshackle the fetters
Of all of earth’s dark chaos?
Then come Lord God
Come now!
I lift a holy shout
Pour out your Spirit
On any & all who try to crowd
Around your feet
Attempting obedience to keep
Protect & bless
But give us strength to
Stand all horrific tests
Of the gift, this precious faith,
So freely & willingly You give!
God will come as close and be as personal with you as you will allow. Take time to enjoy His company!
I came into the world as an orphan from birth with nothing, no mother, no father, no love. I was traumatized and abused both. They said I was a highly sensitive child so maybe it impacted me more than someone else. I remember only fear and terror. I was suicidal a few times, but God stays close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit Psalm 34:18. Here is a poem I wrote about my experiences. Hope you enjoy. Praise God!!!
Spit Out Into Hell
Alone, wet, cold
Shivering into the wall,
I try to fade, pushing
Into the emptiness inside,
This, an unending terror.
I crouch, attempting to avoid
The inevitable. Knowing it
Will come. Survive, survive,
Gritting the teeth
Hanging on, hoping
reprieve will come
Someday.
Despair, hopelessness
dragging. So worthless,
I deserve only
this joyless existence?
Looking up I scream
someone explain this
Why?
Until a light breaks in,
A gentle presence
Fear brought no longer
a feather-soft presence
ever over my head
hidden, between us only
a thin veil of sky.
Feelings stir
Leaving Hope.
Do Not Give Up.
I AM here.
A Wind lifts
Releasing, removing pain.
Strong, a glowing light
Shines down into
my interior.
A living God, a living
Son.
Wonder of wonders
He wants Me!
Joy begins, grows
Becomes stronger
Passion and Praise flow.
New Life Is Created.
So if I can endure
So can You.
His life can exist
Inside of you.
Remember, loving He spread out
His arms
On a wooden beam.
Death juxtaposed on top of
LIFE!
Strange but I believe
Eternally True.
an answer to the
WHY.
HE can use anything, pain
sorrow
To bring you closer to
joy.
and in the darkness give you
Himself.
Jesus loves us so profoundly, deeply and passionately that he left a place so wonderful we can’t even begin to imagine its beauty, and He did it solely for us. He allowed himself to be tortured to death overnight and into the next day for our sakes. He was beaten almost to death, flogged and then spiked to a piece of wood. He loves us totally and completely. The poem below I wrote about the depth of His love for us. Hope you enjoy and may God bless your day. Praise God!!
In Black and White
Small minds reduce
our Lord’s Glory
to mere words on a page.
Life is not lived in
Black and White!
All life contains
A struggle.
Sad, happy,
Pain, Joy,
Misery and Glory.
Passion.
