Abba, I’d like to write about more than flowers, and love
but then again
that’s where our strength
comes from, or how you choose
to strengthen us
here on earth.
Note: Abba is Hebrew for Dad or Father.

Harbors Hold Us Anchored
Harbors hold us anchored, but only until we are brave enough
to admit we needed the rest, and until we seek more
than just the wind. A deep knowing that our hearts
are renewed, by longing more frequently
for the setting sun.
Note: My friends I am seeking a deeper rest
but to be honest, I often wonder how.

Cold Waves
Cold waves marking us, pushing us to the shore,
or perhaps to the safety of a rock layered island
until we can gain our feet again.
There are tough times that we don’t understand
pushed to a deceptive safety, but we can
grasp at stone, and slip
maybe even fall
when bravery isn’t true
or when we allow our spirit to drift
over the waves.
We can lose ourselves, only to find
we are reinvented.

Seas of Reflection
The sea will often capture us, lending us a new set of eyes
so that through our hearts we understand the vision
of who we could be, not merely drifting.

Let Yourself Be Silently Drawn
“Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull
of what you really love.
It will not lead you astray.”
Rumi
Note: For me, it is writing.

Our Quiet Streams Last Forever
Our raging rivers will be difficult to capture on paper,
but our quiet streams, last forever going deeper
so we can listen carefully, then share
the reflections given.

As the Poems Write Themselves
Through our eyes and deep down into our hearts,
encouragement strengthens, having washed us
through the light of orchids
and a warm breeze
caressing our faces
as the poems write themselves,
in the spring sunlight.

Flowers in the Wild
Even though flower shows are beautiful, somehow
flowers in the wild, raise our spirits even higher
as we let go and trust, that in the wild
our world is made right again.

Tender Mercies
Heaven’s tender mercies, and love for us
can be seen and felt, in the light of soft petals
revealing that our hearts are safe
in His wondrous hands.

You’re an Overcomer
This is one my all time favorite videos. Yes, I’ve shared it before but I felt I should share it today.
