Echoes

Echoes thunder in my head like lighting

Flashing within my soul

Guilt pierces the night

Revealing the excuses stained with sin

Father help me I need You so!

Forgive me

Bring Your sweet rain of peace

Within my soul

Soft and tender

Banish this storm of regret and condemnation

Quiet the voices that thunder out their lies

Cover me with Your wings of love

And I will be safe.

Just a Thought Away

Every moment of everyday

They come like the sun at dawn

Caught off guard sometimes by the emotions

That swirl among the memories of time

Listening for the lyrics of yesterday

Smiling and remembering those perfect

Thoughts from the past

Who would have known such happiness

Could just fade into the air of never

Where are they? Where did they go?

Will they ever come back?

Maybe they are just a thought away.

The Quietness of Life

Shhhhh can you hear it?

The sounds of the heart as it smiles

The grateful tear as it falls

The touch of love on a baby’s cheek

The gentle breeze of summer

The softness of the rose

The sigh of contentment

The hand of grace upon a soul

The promise of the future

The innocence 0f love

The forgiveness of another

The healing balm of mercy

The stars as they shine

The moonlight on new snow

The look on a child’s face as they sleep

The helping hand of compassion

The bonds of friendship

Just to mention a few

All are miracles to be received

And cherished

For each speaks volumes

If we will only listen.

Dreams

Dreams are fickle little things to carry around

Yet weigh so much if not achieved

Hopes dwindle and doubts betray

All because they cannot receive joy or keep believing

They second guess everything

Should they do this or maybe even that

Which never gives a true answer

But yet they try to listen

They need fulfillment and no empty spaces to call home

Always wondering and expectantly waiting

Searching for the path that will finally

Bring them home to their destiny

Sweet dreams, happy dreams

Always complete with time

Bringing the heart to the full knowledge

That God has the answers and always always knows the way.

Storms of Promise

The night thunders within the darkness

Brilliant lightning dances across the sky

Billowing clouds rise on windy currents of air

Warnings have gone forth to ease the troubled soul

Storms are brewing across his land

As the winter wheat gets planted

Farmers place their hopes within this ground of promise

Seeds of new life will now sprout forth

As God ordained

They try to hang on to the winds of time

Placing the future within the unknown

The storms are worrisome for now

Crops must be sown to have the harvest

They will wait out the night watching

Listening for the dreaded hail

Praying for deliverance from destruction

Heroic are the tillers of the field

For they are the backbone

And honorable strength of this nation

Thank you, Farmers and Ranchers

May God bless you on this stormy night

And on into the coming harvest and for Eternity.

Silent Tears

They fall from her heart

But make no sound

Salty rain brims from eyes of sadness

Then flow in quick unison

Down her cheeks

As her soul weeps seeking comfort

For only God knows how much she hurts

As He collects her silent tears.

Choices Delayed

Time has again taken it’s toll

What was to be may be no more

Can’t play the music or do the dance

Left within this darkness there is no light

Choices delayed break the heart

Hope dies and dwindles away

Faith tries to believe but just can’t

Don’t know what else to do

It wasn’t enough

Time has again taken it’s toll

Wait!

Silence speaks it’s on language

Dictating each second into the past

Never to be heard from again

The ticking of the clock pushing

Hopes into my yesterdays

Tears cry out for the now that doesn’t come

Do I linger on these thoughts and dreams?

Have I any hope in what the future vaguely offers?

When will the promises come to me?

Does faith carry them in her wings?

I see no light for the coming tomorrows

Is today the twilight of my world?

Life do you have any answers

For the questions asked?

Wait is the only one I hear!

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.
