Eyes that will smile again - v3

I see eyes that will smile again,
where joy will be resurgent,
life will emerge in the simplest things,
a sense of calm and peace will bloom…
 
This is my prayer, my friend,
from my spirit, my heart,
that you would again feel joy,
that this weight would be removed…
 
You all have struggled, valiantly,
you have fought evil for too long,
but God has walked with you,
His Spirit will lift you up…
 
Yes, your eyes will smile again,
seeing life in all its fullness, beauty,
simple joys will wash over you, again,
your spirit will be renewed…

Soulful Eyes – v3

She is a warrior, a leader, a patriot,
in the world, in the field, authentic,
soulful eyes that have seen too much,
So many years of war, of destruction,
too many broken, shattered lives…
 
Soldiering on, ever forward,
resolve leads her, guides her,
though she carries a heavy weight,
She is safe under God’s wing,
the protection of unceasing prayer…
 
She holds onto hope for a future,
without struggle, without war,
a stirring deep within her,
Hope that her dreams will take flight
that this moment will pass…
 
She is a warrior, a leader, a patriot,
in the world, in the field, authentic,
soulful eyes that have seen too much,
So many years of war, of destruction,
too many broken, shattered lives…

Soulful Eyes – v2

A warrior, a leader, a patriot,
In the field, in the world, authentic,
Soulful eyes that have seen too much,
So many years of war, of destruction,
Too many broken, shattered lives…
 
Soldiering on, ever forward,
But bending under the heavy weight,
Resolve leading her, guiding her,
Under God’s wing, His shadow,
The protection of unceasing prayer…
 
Holding onto hope for a future,
Without struggle, without war,
A stirring deep within her,
That this moment must pass,
Still hoping her dreams will take flight…
 
A warrior, a leader, a patriot,
In the field, in the world, authentic,
Soulful eyes that have seen too much,
So many years of war, of destruction,
Too many broken, shattered lives…

the strings of gossamer – v7

She sat with Jesus, her beloved,
held within her loving arms,
the crucified body of Christ
our Messiah, Mary’s baby boy.
 
Her gaze given a new focus,
ensnared in strings of gossamer,
obscuring the body of Christ
in the words of the spider.
 
Speaking in lines that she drew,
painted on the face of the Madonna;
Her visage of sadness set off,
in the meshed strings of gossamer.

Crying for #Crimea, for #Ukraine – v2

Crying for Crimea, for Ukraine,
for the pain of conquest
the ripping apart, terror,
stitching together, broken,
the movement of forces
the invasion of a sovereign state.
 
Geopolitics, pawns in the middle,
of arrogance and power, evil,
bare-knuckle brute strength
quiet diplomacy, appeasement,
all of it failing, in the crucible of history
under abject aggression, a terrorist state.
 
Crying for Crimea, for Ukraine,
for unmet promises, for apathy,
for a failure of resolve, neglect,
allowing a slaughter, a massacre,
letting a nation be destroyed,
while we have the means to help.

sitting with her – v2

a divine appointment,
present, sitting with her,
in her struggle, in this moment,
holding her hands, quiet,
in her sorrow, this day.
 
being present with her
in this moment, focused,
nowhere else in the world
sitting quietly before her,
beside her, this day.

“Those drug addicts you are judging are not just some junkies
and losers who deserve to die. They’re actually some good people
with good hearts who made some bad decisions as we all do. So if
you cant help them, dont hurt them. Pray for them! 3amthoughts”
