how many times
do we act
in faith
only to receive
the promises
poems
“Less isn’t More”
tears need no
explanation
as to why they
fall
from pain behind
emotion
less voice having
nowhere
to sound for
help
from forever that
weights
“Missed Communication”
summer heat
stormy skies
raging seas
tornadoes
“Mixing the Well”
I’m excited about talking
with other people
about God
I’m excited to dance
with other women
with flags
I’m excited to visit
more churches
in the area
I’m excited to meet
more people
everywhere I go
yes
God leaves the ninety-nine
to go after the one
but maybe sometimes
the one
should go after the ninety-nine
“Footsteps”
when you’re at the end of your rope
you have two choices
look down to where you’re falling
or look up for Help
two paths
one direction
“Lost”
when you don’t care
where you are
you might be in a bad place
“Original Soundtracks”
this place
to fall in love with it
would have to be from birth
because coming from San Diego
you KNOW what you’re missing
I miss seeing the wind
blow through the trees
and hearing the leaves
dance to its rhythm
here it’s too hot
and too humid
to open the doors
to open the windows
so as you watch the trees blow
you hear the music of the house
the water filter dripping
the hum of the fan
the ice maker clunking
Scott sweeping the room
the noise of this world
can never replace
the beautiful sounds
of nature
“Clock Hands”
week one
I danced with the devil
week two
I started the business
week three
I shipped off some orders
week four
I’m off and running
all without leaving His Hands
how could the same month fly by
where every minute seemed to stand still
“Making New Friends”
it’s easy to create a fairy tale
it’s almost easier
to believe
but what is
isn’t always what was
or what was thought to be
even Cinderella
took the mice
to the kingdom
