Beauty’s Elegy Poem About the Fake Life of the Digital World
—
by
Beauty’s Elegy Beauty is dead. She’s decaying in her casket by common consent. She withered and shriveled into a ghost because our eyes no longer saw her, glued to our synthetic screens, while she sensually danced begging for attention but found no audience among this generation. Beauty cried out but her shouts went unnoticed among…

Great Expectations Joy can seize us in the lowliest of places, perhaps even easier than in the loftiest ones. Humble eyes are open wider than those of great expectation, those muted of exultation and closed to the blessings that abound in the ordinary – it’s commonness makes it no less miraculous.

Poem About Bravery and Courage
—
by
Bravery There’s no one braver to be in a world increasingly defined by a litany of achievements than the way God crafted me. Our contributions can’t be measured solely in dollars and money signs. For God’s work isn’t treasured by the market of mankind. Our souls become rich and our hearts light when we reject…
