Prayer

When tired defines me,

I choose to pray.

When sadness surrounds me,

I choose to pray.

In hardship, hurting, cruel,

I choose to pray.

Beloved child of God,

Choose, please, to pray.

Resting

Resting here

Resting there,

God, in rest

You find me.

Where and when,

I embrace

Saving grace.

Overwhelmed;

Tidal wave,

Tsunami.

Faith renewed.

Faith revealed.

God, in rest, 

You find me.

I'm not lost;

Embracing rest,

I am blessed.

It is Time

It is time, past time

To set Christmas by;

Season breathes its last,

And a New Year's nigh.

Why not let bold lights

Bright, resilient,

Carry on?  Glow?

Rejoice in brilliance?

Peace and light, sweet kiss

Of God's love, our bliss.

It is time.  Past time . . .

The Rocks

The rocks

The stones

Rugged

Ragged

Challenge

The will

The heart

The mind

The soul

Life flows

Despite

Hindrance

The will

Of heart

Of mind

And soul

Rugged

Ragged

Persists
