Feathers A Christian Poem About Letting Go of Fear and Worry
—
by
Feathers The weight of the world is a feather in the hand of its maker. It does not burden, break, or bury the one who reigns outside of Time and Space’s domain. Our behemoths are merely single barbs attached to that weightless shaft that flutters like the forest’s souvenirs given to a child, fallen from…

When Sorrow Comes – A Poem
—
by
When Sorrow Comes I’m old enough now and have lived through enough winters to know that as you begin reaping joy sorrow already begins to grow. This life promises many harvests but one crop it’s certain to sow – that beyond the warmth of summer comes the cold, winter snow. It’s not about protecting yourself…

Plucking Beauty – A Poem About Life and Eternity
—
by
Plucking Beauty I once plucked beauty out of experience serendipitously like wild flowers in the country, delighting in what new joy life was going to allow me to discover and show off in vases upon my windowsill. But my curiosity is stagnant and often vanishes, jaded over what I know I’ll find – that everything…

Change – A Poem About Adapting to the Seasons of Life
—
by
Change Observing the seasons is a reminder that life’s only constant is change, and if you’re staying the same, you’re dying you’re falling you’re fading like ink soaked by spilled water – unrecognizable, incomprehensible, and erased from the book of life. Open your eyes to the marvel around you. Join in the song and dance…

Autumn – Love Poem For Her
—
by
Autumn Lovely as the leaves decorated in their colorful clothes in the midst of October, brisk and crisp as the breeze that electrifies and blows at September’s closure, and mystifying as the spells of magic that cover the forest in fall; it’s no wonder I fell and never wanted another – my forever love, my…

Walking On Air A Poem About Faith and Meaning in Life
—
by
Walking on Air I once walked away from belief but only found air at my feet. All meaning and substance had ceased – pulled wherever passion blew me like the wind on a falling leaf. I thought I was seeking freedom; what I found was only more chains. To live with purpose and reason we…

Orion, the Hunter – A Poem
—
by
ORION, THE HUNTER Orion, hunter of the skies, I’m jealous of you. Every time I look up I find you with your bow drawn and an arrow nocked, ready to be shot out into the universe. That must be one happy hunting ground you roam. While I sit at home, trying to find a way…

The Road to Recovery – A Poem by Justin Farley
—
by
The Road to Recovery I tried walking away from madness, seeking peace. But found I was bound and a captive, unable to retreat. Astonished, I looked down at shackles clasped around my hands and feet. I have hollered until I was hoarse; solitude is the only company I keep. What is left now other than…

Sun or Sorrow – Rhyming Love Poem
—
by
Sun or Sorrow The wind may blow where it wishes and may change from day to day. But you can trust that this is where my heart will always stay. My love for you mocks the seasons; it’s as constant as the sun’s rise. It never falters or weakens like the ebb of the tides.…

Purpose – A Poem About Growth and Flowers
—
by
Purpose Waiting in the darkness is the catalyst for change. A seed hides just beneath the soil and toils to germinate. It breaks out of its hard, lifeless shell and reaches desperately for the sun. It takes root and won’t stop until it’s done flowering and offering exactly what it was born to give -…

by
The Race A Poem about Hard Times and Not Giving Up The race has run me ragged and has planted a stitch in my side. My burdens seem to keep getting added; I’m too weak to go on despite all I’ve tried. If only I could glimpse the finish line, then maybe hope would prevail.…

Holy Justice – Poem About the Death Penalty and Prison
—
by
Holy Justice I heard his sobs as they walked him down the row, heard the shackles jingle, the whispers of people waiting for the show. I watched in horror as they strapped him to the chair… the pleading and screaming still repeats in my head like a nightmare. I retched at the smell of burning…

Poem About Being Human, Making Mistakes, and Growing Old
—
by
We’re Only Human The older we get the less certain we are of absolutes. But one thing we’re absolutely certain of is our flawed, human nature. When we’re children we yearn for the day we’ll have all the answers, when we’ll no longer feel scared or vulnerable, and when we’ll stop making stupid mistakes. Until…
