SATURDAY, AFTER WE SPOKE

Entwined in a chaos of thoughts,

My mind is blank.

Give me some words, I implore the

Holy Spirit, so I may

Contemplate your

Grace.

But she laughs and runs away,

Leaving me once again

Friendless

Desolate,

So full of wonder and pain I can

Barely

Breathe.

 

LOVER'S PRAYER

My Love

Is a river of solace in

A violent sea.

May angels guard his every breath and

Keep him safe from

Darkness.

 

 DEAR DIARY

This evening

I tell you in good faith I understand

Nothing. A cloud has

Passed through my mind,

Dimming

All reason all thinking or feeling or

Doing. There is no measure for the depth of

My sorrow.   To whom shall we go

But you? To Whom shall

We go?

  

FOR YOU TONIGHT

There are answers.

But it's the questions I seek

To tempers and twisty moods that

Loosen and tighten and tie

Me in knots.   And yet,

No matter,   how

I love you

Still.

 

EASTER 2024

Easter rain wipes away the tears

In my heart.   God's

Sacrifice

Is incomprehensible.

But how much do we know,

Or want to, and

Yes,

We have our own

Problems.

 

APRIL

In spring's rebirth my own Love was

Sent to eternity   leaving a hole

So dark,

So filled with terrors,

Light,

Which cannot enter,

Is deflected to the stars.

 

BEING

You choose to be alone

With flowers that don't talk, and

Wisdom

Hidden by the sea.

If you want 

Silence,

I will be silent. Only

Come 

And be with me.
