“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
breathing
snoring
in clean clothes with a shave
another night spent in warmth
breathing
serenity
being accepted as-is
being loved and spoiled with food
breathing
resting
once a boy, now old man
a son and a father to others
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
“Buffet of Love”
Standing, looking
all-you-can-eat
seeing choices
and being able to pick
a little bit here
and a little bit there
forms a mound
on the plate
when given the option
of chair or booth
he gladly said booth
for the cushion
when a man who lives outside
sits on a cushion
something happens
when a man without food
enjoys all-you-can-eat
something happens
when a man without a bed
sleeps on a couch
something happens
when a man without a home
takes a warm shower
something happens
Living without limits
Loving without boundaries
becoming like the One
Who lives in me
“My Dance with Jesus”
When the music begins
it warms my heart
and I think of the
way You love me
I unravel my flags
and lift them to fall
in the romance I have
with You
As the silk flutters
and flows through the air
I’m reminded of
how You see me:
Beautiful ~ untouched by the pains of this world
because I’m covered in Your love
Wholesome ~ a virgin of the heart waiting for love
purified by the flow of Your blood
Loving ~ becoming like You more and more
as I listen to the hearts that need You
What You’ve done in my life
pours through every move
and renews every moment
I dance:
in Your sight
through Your heart
in my mind
Watch me, LORD
Dance with me
Receive my honor and praise
for the way You
mold me into Your love
and release me to
change the world
“Real Love”
Lights, cameras, cell phones held high
men walking in a trance
hoping to capture what they think is love
only to leave empty
Love of this world
disguised as lust
driven by greed
a counterfeit beauty
And then they see Light Continue reading
“Awakened By My Heart”
Awakened: my soul from a sweet, deep sleep
eyes closed
calmly breathing
thoughts of you
Who is this man who’s entered my sleep
Who’s roamed through my day
lept into my heart
my mind
Awakened: by poetry that nourished my soul
my beauty within
aligning with Him
breathes the fullness of heaven
Who is this man who’s kind and sweet
favorite color
deepest dream
What thoughts enter “his” mind, while he sleeps
Awakened: my life from a heart untouched
waiting for God
feelings unknown
yet trusting
I’m awake
