“Teaching Life”
When I think of life before Jesus taught
there was no measuring up
someone lorded over you
the Law
not knowing who you were
not being able to live right
controlled
at twelve years old Continue reading
“Without a Day”
Not ever mother has her child

“Victory of the Heart”
When I look to the horizon

When I look to the sky

When I look to the stars

“A Couch that Speaks”
breathing
peace
sounds from the couch
what’s God doing to my heart
breathing
asleep
restful break from the park
a home to feel comfortable in

serenity
being accepted as-is
being loved and spoiled with food
breathing

coughing
life’s taken its toll
health that seems to be weak
breathing
waking
to realize time’s passed
the park awaits his presence
breathing
peace
sounds from the couch
what’s God doing to my heart
“Colors”
In my world…
laughter is music
silence is precious
clouds are sunshine
“Season’s End”
broken
like the wind
not knowing where to blow
hiding
in the stillness
or the shadows
darkness Continue reading

She knew of him from Facebook and totally understood when I said good-bye to her to share with him a quick hello, which turned out to be an amazing fifteen minutes.
A few people have asked me how he became homeless. When I thought of why, I realized it wasn’t in my head anywhere, so I doubted if I’d ever asked him, so I had planned to ask him yesterday. Continue reading
