In the shades of green, in the explosion of color
we can be stunned by the beauty, filled
with the expectation
of a new beginning,
reflecting
on all
that has been made.

The Encouragement of Color
Inspired by spring and a new sense of hope,
our wordflow becomes stronger,
lifting us and filling our spirits
with the encouragement
of color.

Hope Within Our Poetry
Scars won’t keep our hope in the darkness,
instead our words will live
within our poetry,
encouraging us,
strengthening us
each and every day.

Praying for Thunder
In the scorching of our most difficult desert, it is so easy to carry our wounds
and walk away. To leave any fragment of who we are,
whatever gift we once were, and declare that sand
and bones are the only meaning.
Somehow, in our rocks hidden, we decide
to ignore the cycle of living,
believing we are safe.
So where is the rain?
The promise
of flowers living
beyond
our devastation?
Perhaps,
we learn to see our spirits
as more than a mirror,
understanding
for the first time
the plight of cactus,
as we lift our eyes
praying for thunder.

In the Light of Your Eyes
Where does love dwell when shadows linger
within our frame?
Mostly within the holding moments,
the silence of embracing
and in the courage
to reach for each other’s hand
in the middle of the night,
and in the light
of your eyes My Love,
as we awake, being filled
with another sunrise.

Give Me a Glimpse of Your Wings
Give me a glimpse of Your wings My God, and I will do more
than take refuge under
Your shadow,
shaping the words descending
shaping the phrases piercing
through the clouds,
encouraging my brothers
my sisters
and together
we will paint the sky
with some healing
from Your wings.
Amen.

Our Refuge and Strength
“God is our refuge, and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
Psalm 46:1
Is there any wonder why so many people have been encouraged by the Psalms? Is there any wonder why so many people have faith in the God of heaven and earth?
And the term here, “a very present help” means He not only knows everything, but He is the God of now, meaning He is right here, with us at this moment!!
Lord God Almighty, You know everything we go through, and we ask You continue to be with us! Amen.
