I Can Rest Now

I can rest now

My heart is at ease

I know everything will be okay

The tears fell into the night

Like cascading waterfalls

I tried to push the hurt away

With tender thoughts

And fervent prayers

But nothing helped

Then I heard His still small voice

Whisper to my soul

“Everything will be okay.”

Now I trust God’s eternal plan

For He always does things right

So I hold my heart in my hands

Outstretched to Him

Giving it to Him for His perfect will

I don’t need to worry or fret anymore

For everything will be okay!

Old Pictures

A strange mood has come over me

One of sadness but not quite

Grief has a soul of it’s own

It must had visited me in the night

I have lost so much in my life

Yet gained the blessings of the sweetest friends

Still I feel as if I don’t quite measure up

Lost somewhere on a road that never ends

I haven’t walked the way of others so much

Not the life of the party I guess

I’m an old soul with ingrained traits

And trusting to much has made me a mess

Seeing the old pictures of times long ago

That mingle with the pictures of now

Grabs my heart with such grief

Yet on I must go

God please show me how

I wait for a future that may never come

Promises are broken when reality steps forth

Can’t go back to pick up the pieces of a broken heart

So sadness and regret dwindle my worth

I see others twirling on life’s dance floor

Enjoying many things but still I wait

Can’t chisel in stone what is to come

Hopefully my last dance won’t be to late

So i sit here holding my grieving heart again

Seeing old pictures of sweet love yet sorrow

I wander back over my life’s path of memories

Of lost yesterdays, today, and maybe tomorrows.

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!

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.

As I Sit Here

As I sit here waiting

I feel change is coming

Trying to please God and my heart

Sometimes can’t co-exist

When I wait I struggle with lonliness

God has me on my protective island again

Just like when I lost my husband of 34 year

But it is hard not to feel deserted and dry

The beauty of the sea calls to me

The mountains I haven’t climbed

Whisper, “Come on!”

But I wait

My joy is seeping out slowly

Waiting, hoping, needing

But to know avail

No voices are heard

But those of my own heart

It waits with me

Watching, listening, crying, sighing

Oh well, maybe later.

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!

Lost Moments

Memories swirl within an aching heart

Tears flow from dark nights to daylight

Searching for peace but it hides

Thorns of regret and what if’s

Play their own sad songs

The unknowns dance among

The tattered dreams of what was not

And might never be

Still the flowers of hope

Try to bloom in this dark place

Maybe’s and could be’s call

But no answers come

Will tomorrow bring back

The dream that was lost?

The morning mist softens

The edges formed by doubt

Still the clock of time

Steals the seconds of mortality

They are placed with each click

Beyond the reach of yesterday

And into this life of lost moments.

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

When the Dream Was New

There is a sadness creeping in

Thoughts of long ago

When the dream was new

Are fading like the horizon

In the rear view mirror

Leaving just memories of what was

Forcing the now to witness

This letting go

Hearts turning every which way

Because they’re lost in this maze of regret

For what time has stolen.

Yet to Cry

Trying to find the words

To describe how I feel

I am sad yet hopeful

Wanting to laugh

And yet to cry would be okay

Hope is dwindling to a slow drip

Others must always come first but really?

Is this a pity party I’m putting together?

What is this melancholy mood?

I want my dreams back

They have gone away again

And I can’t search for them

Life plays tricks on me

Makes promises which are not kept

Doubt dances with regret for time lost

Time that will never come back

Future minutes and seconds are only borrowed

And must be returned

How sad to never be able to plan a ‘for sure’

The unknown will win again over want

Now there is rain in my eyes

With no clouds in the sky

I wish I knew the answer

Maybe then I could see my dreams

And visit them for a spell.
