Cries in the Night

Cries in the night from sorrow and grief

For a love that was lost in time

We did not plan to be parted

So we didn’t count the cost

Broken hearts beating no longer as one

Tarnished and bruised and all alone

Accountable only to God now

All our plans were undone

We did not know we couldn’t have each other

So the tears have continued to fall

Weeping eyes tell the tale

Letting go will be the hardest of all

Why were we brought together again?

Just to be torn apart by what’s right

Paths traveled have led us here

Still separate yet maybe together someday

In eternal life.

Shades and Shadows

I feel so lost

So inadequate

Where did I go?

Who am I now?

I can’t find me anymore

Who would I be if I did?

Searching but never finding

Hating the way I am

But lost inside this fog of the unknown

Find me please!

Return me to You

But leave the old me where she belongs

In the past

With all my insecurities

And all the other selves

Who are weak and useless

Never bearing fruit

A tree with just leaves is only shade and shadows

Void of light.

Time

Some of the saddest moments in time

Are as dreams drown when they crash

Upon the rocks of reality

No longer feasible for whatever the reason

Not sustainable with in the realm of forever

They come up gasping for air

But to no avail

There is no oxygen to revive them

To many memories and long ago hopes

Have weighed them down

They have sent them into the dark chasm

Of the foamy brine of no more

There is sadness at the loss of time

But this can’t be helped

Age and life dance together upon the sea

Of what might have been

Only to lay like seaweed upon the shore

Never again to sway in the currents or riptides

Time has shipwrecked the dream.

Angels of Love

Angels of love fly from heaven

Into our human hearts

Filling them with such grace

We see them everywhere

Then not at all

Still we know they are there

In a whisper on the wind

A movement caught by the eye

Our hearts coming alive

With memories of them

Embracing the moments caught in time

Taking us back to happier days

Giggles of laughter at a joke

Tears as we grieve our loss

With each memory we are lifted higher

Every divine occurrence reminding us of them

And we know we have be blessed

Beyond measure by these amazing Angels of love.

Pebbles of Hope

My grateful heart

Soars among sky high clouds

Flitters above the roses

On the wings of a butterfly

Dewdrops kiss my cheeks

Then water my soul

Joy competes with sunshine

Then wins as springs flow

Over glistening pebbles of hope

Birthed again by prayer

With complete submission to God

For His eternal plan.

I Don’t Know

Twilight is creeping up

Over the horizon

Stars will soon share their gifts

The sun is moving on

To fill the next sunrise

How will tomorrow go?

Can life carry on as before?

I don’t know

I did what I thought was right

To keep their hurt at bay

But instead it has made me feel

That I was maybe an option

An not loves priority.
