Stones

5/27/2012

For every stone that is thrown
He meters it out,
For the foundation bountiful,
of his home.

... For Every stone that is brought,
He plants a garden,
With flowers dripping
Over the edges of their pots …

For every stone I bring …
He holds me with his tears,
Carries me past my fears …
And offers me, a glass of water.

You leaf my life

 When fall leaves hold on until spring ...
I am held,
from beginning 'til end.

You leaf my life ...
... with grace,
color ...
and beauty.

Rapture of Heart

5/20/2012

1 Comment

 
 Home is not about land
Or architectural structure …
Or dependent on paint
Or wall hanging textures.
Home is about the passion
... Of the hearts,
within its rapture...

I Wait, For You

Me to you ...
or you to me ...
something worth having ...
It's value increases with the wait.

Right Before My Eyes

5/20/2012

0 Comments

 
It is so easy,
To miss …
To walk hastily on by …
But then I see with absolute clarity,
The Love that is reflecting
right before my eyes…

Shelter Me

5/7/2012

 Shelter me in the day
As it is done.
Shelter me in the morning,
As it is born.
Shelter me in the carving of your land.
... Shelter me,
In the cleaving of your hands.

He winds down

5/3/2012

0 Comments

 
He winds down,
Calling it the end of the day …
Hours before the moon …
While I am still ready to play …

His soul
Is time zones ahead of mine …
Mine comes along,
with the spice and seasoning of time.

He forges into tomorrow …
While I am still lingering in the lessons
of today.
My love and I …
Worlds apart,
yet  …
We may be closer than we’ve ever been.

Waiting for the Lover to Return

5/3/2012

0 Comments

 
This is dedicated to military wives, attorneys wives, the wives of those who serve in ministry of any kind, policemen's wives ...

Is this the last moon …
Til she sees her lover again …
Or will there be six more …
... ‘til he comes through that half hinged door?
What is it,
This fairy tale, that she longs for?
What she has, and clings to,
is the memory of his shadow, on her floor.
Is this the last moon …
‘til she sees her lover again …
Only love knows …
Only through Love’s Maker, the cry of her soul,
can win.
