Dreaming Tree

Dreaming tree

Tree of Life

Tree of Knowledge

Tree of Reminder

To never cease to dream,

To imagine,

To let God in

When feelings taunt

He is not present.

Dreams affirm He Is

Ever, forever, always . . .

Let Him in,

Let Him in.

Trust In Me

Tired, worn

Heart torn . . .

What do I do?

Nothing?  Really?

That's the answer?

I need more.

Nothing?  Why?

Answer!

Where are answers?

Where is peace?

Illusive joy?

~

All is joy

When with me

You rest and breathe,

Trust and follow.

Thinking ceases.

Knowing begins.

Trust and follow .  . .

Trust in Me.

Dear Mom

 My Mom at our wedding.  So beautiful!

Thinking you can endure

The impossible, you take your stand.

Brave?  Yes.  But, necessary?

When this moment begs more

Than a cursory format passed

Along to others.  We live

Within requirements given.

Have we not paid the price?

Are we not bereaved?

Are you not grieved?

"I cannot cry.  I just can't."

"Mom, please, let it out!"

With you, we are united,

One heart and soul and mind,

To claim the peace and glory

Of the Lord . . . He's there.

Grieve, cry, and mourn,

Then, celebrate the passing

Of the one you love,

The one God chose for you;

The one and only love

Your heart has ever known.

Coming Home

Coming home from the cabin,

Blessed cabin in the mountains

Where time stands still.

Nothing matters but being

In the moment.

Being.

Being. 

Being . . .

The journey home,

Where everything matters,

When doing demands the thoughts,

Forget not the cabin,

And, the promise

Of life and love

Everlasting.

The present is illusion.

The eternal lives

In the cabin.
