Words of Life – v2 #poetry #God #poetryreading #presentation #passion #calling #gifts

Waking with the sunrise
joy, I am above the dirt…
Beautiful flowers beyond my deck,
peace within my heart…
 
The world full of chaos
struggling as it always was,
But smiling through the places
the steps of our walk…
 
People who bring us happiness,
a comedian piercing my sadness…
The hurt that I feel inside
a weight lifted from me…
 
Growing up in the world
moving me to face the truth…
The struggle, the lies,
the things we cannot control…
 
Peace in my spirit,
a humorous attitude…
Joy in each step
at rest in this world…

Seeds of last Autumn - v4

 Seeds of last Autumn - v4

Seeds of last Autumn

clutched by the young branches,

holding on for a moment longer;

Shoots of this Springtime

awakening in brilliance

our hope for Summer,

now bursting into view.

Captured together, sharing,

a contrast of shades, of colors,

stirring, intertwined, mingling

fading khaki and brilliant chartreuse;

A change of the seasons

awakening, surging, shining,

alive, exploding into view.
