Hope runs strong in the heart broken,
yet searching the horizon,
believing in the healing
with a measure of success,
plundering
the kingdom of despair.

Dr. Martin Luther King
We have slipped, somewhat fallen away from his vision,
may we be restored,
may we return to the fire
seeking equality
for one,
and for all.
God thank You for the life and work of Dr. King.
Amen.

The Whisper of Winter
This morning the clouds were heavy, hanging low,
I can barely see the mountains now
with snow clouds covering.
A light snow begins falling,
with the Earth waiting,
anticipating
the beauty of silence,
the whisper of winter.
And I smile as I walk,
having gone to the bookstore
just yesterday.

Note: I’m currently reading a paranormal spy thriller, and yesterday I purchased 2 books of poetry and a science fiction novel, which is very thick and will take a long time to read!
Within the Human Heart
The peace we need so desperately in our world
begins
within the human heart,
each one of us.
Amen.

Writers II
As writers we see with our eyes, our hearts,
our spirits even
dismantling prejudice
we have visions of wings
sensing the value
of each and every person,
and then……
a new day dawns
so we write it all down.

When the Sunshine Awakens
I love when the sunshine awakens on my pillow,
nuzzling closer
whispering her dreams,
I hold on to each
sacred moment,
quietly thankful,
for my most sacred treasure
and the light
of her radiant smile.

Winter Shadows
In the shadows of winter, bark becomes prominent
in diffused light
the roughness of cold air,
with vague memories
of life lived in green
we pray for the life of the sun,
to be lifted again.
