Crest of Defeat

One cannot say what one would do

If left alone for very long

Sadness creeps in

Hindering the joy

Causing doubt to sprout

Among the already thorny

Thoughts of the mind

Promises made don’t matter

For the slightest thing can

Wipe them out and make them

Void of truth

Why put so much store in them

When fate can blow them

Into yesterday in a few seconds

Wrestling with time for the answers

Only marks more emptiness

And travail of heart

Why, when, where and now what

Ponder the questions

Yet no new answers come to mind

Just more sadness and

Shaking of the head

Disappointed in the outcome

Of another day that is passed

Into the mire of other missed moments

Spilling over the crest of defeat

Into the lostness of now.

Just to Let You Know

There isn’t anything don’t you see

That will not be overheard

So I put my heart out there

For all to see

Just to let you know and

Tell you this from me

I will love you for all eternity

And if by the grace of God

We are ever allowed to be

I will wait faithfully but alas

Not patiently for you to see

That I’m right here waiting

Where I said I’d be

And if by God’s Divine decree

We will never get to be

I will always be grateful

That for just a little while

You belonged to me.

‘maybe’

Seems like I have waited my whole life on ‘maybe’

When I was a little kid it was ‘maybe’ I’ll get to play outside

And not have to do chores

As I got older ‘maybe’ that boy in my class will finally like me

As a teenager I had ugly teeth but thought ‘maybe’

I could get braces

When I became grown ‘maybe’ was my wishing well of hopes

‘maybe’ I’ll fall in love and someone will love me too

‘maybe’ I’ll have two or three kids to raise and enjoy

After I was grown it was marriage and sitting up a home

It was three kids whom I adore

The job of ‘maybe’ I’ll get this bill paid before

They ‘maybe’ turn my water off

Becoming a debt dancer to other ‘maybe’

But doable in time

It wasn’t a ‘maybe’ if I was loved

Because I was so blessed

‘maybe’ I was a good Mom

You would have to ask my three kids

‘maybe’ I’ll be a neat ole lady in my dotage

Then again ‘maybe’ not.

We will see, ‘maybe’.

Beyond All Yesterdays

When our worlds collided

We took notice

Not with big bangs or hallelujahs

But smiles and simple touches

That meant so much

The Universe kept spinning

As stars lite up the night

We had found each other

Beyond all yesterdays

The future danced before us

In the pale moonlight

Sunshine then warmed our souls

While gentle sea breezes

Caressed the sandy shore

Then it happened! Life!

Different directions and paths to take

Other plans took over way back when

Still the joy of knowing

Beyond all doubt that

Over the years and up to now

We had been touched by God’s amazing grace

He will be the One to complete the dance

How beautiful it will be

If it be His will

To dance again under

His canopy of stars

In the pale moonlight

As the angels sing.

Heart Songs

The tune of the heart song

Is soft and sweet

Most of the time yet

It can be sad and lonesome

With tearful strains

Happy and hopeful

From day to day or

Stirring long ago memories

That bring tears of regret

Searching the cords for

The just right note

To soothe the pains of loss

And emptiness away

Having to make hard choices can

Burden down the melody

And make it not so soothing

To hear once more

Life picks the rhythm and carries

The beat from another time

We must listen closely if we want

To hear the message

For in the heart song

Only love can read the notes

Played for the special someone

That wrote the words in the first place

And sing within the soul

And love will listen.

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.

Echoes of Silence

Echoes of silence like distant drums

That can’t be heard

Yet beat in rhythm to heartbeats

No longer felt

Matching only the loneliest of thoughts

Sent skyward into the unknown

Destinies portrayed in shimmers

Of fleeting life

Offer no other promises.

I’m Sure

Wondering about some things

Wandering through my mind tonight

Will today be better than tomorrow?

Has my future taken another turn

In unexpected ways?

Unknowns call from the mist

But I won’t answer

Life’s curtain hangs beyond

The door of time

Waiting for me to mess up

And miss my miracles

I’m stronger now and  I pray

For help from above

God answers and let’s me know I’ll be okay

The promise is there for me

To hold in my heart

And not throw it away with doubts

He has an eternal plan and I’m sure

There is one especially for me!

The Course of Time

Over the course of time

Some dreams do come true

Life delivers them like a newborn child

Soft, sweet, full of promise

Sheltered in the heart until birth

Waiting, hoping, learning

While watching for the signs

The pains of new life emerging

Stretching our mortal faith

Belonging, knowing, accepting

Fulfillment of the truth

Strengthened by the knowledge

that each moment, each hour, each day

Will bring forth this amazing promise

Which I will call: Miracle

I Can’t Say

My paths have not always been true

I have slipped and slid my way through

But I stand here and say not in disgrace

That I will keep on and finish my race

I may not have traveled as best I should

Sometimes I didn’t even try to be good

Life has played many tricks on me

But I have always manages to walk free

Clouds of storms and winds of change

Buffeted me in this vast open range

Hurricanes of hurt put me to shame

But it was only me to blame

I have given up so much to be here today

But I’m not lost I’ve found another way

I can’t say I will ever get it right

But I won’t go away without a fight

I’ll hang onto the hopes of tomorrow

Not give in to regret or tears of sorrow

I have a new promise that’s now in place

Under the shield of God’s eternal grace.
