Wandering – An Inspirational Poem
—
by
Wandering To stop wandering is an act of the will. For the heart of man hates being tied and tethered. But children wince and hate the taste of medicine too. It’s often that which we most resist that holds the most healing power. Without a well for our talents they spill out, soaked up by…

Wouldn’t it be easier if the Divine would just remake us overnight, beamed up into heavenly experience like a sublime, shinning light? Yet, true growth comes from the fight. For God always has his reasons, just unknown to us…

by

by
There’s Wisdom In Silence – A Poem of Contemplation There’s wisdom in silence; Silence breeds seeds of wisdom.

Nature’s Spectacle – A Poem About Morning and Dawn
—
by
Nature’s Spectacle – A Poem About Morning and Dawn Cock crows resound, penetrate through dense clouds of moisture. Silence stirs. Nature’s alarm clock has sounded.

A Plea To Love – A Poem
—
by
A Plea To Love – A Poem Oh, this wanting, this waiting, This endless pursuing A feeling that waxes and wanes Like the cycles of the moon. Her eyes dangle like glistening diamonds, But close and pass out of sight much too soon. I squander the hours away, Smoking the days up like cigarettes in…

Daring to Dream – A Poem About Faith and Belief
—
by
Let’s face it. Sometimes it’s difficult in our world of skeptics, cynics, and pessimists to keep our faith strong.

To Be Human
—
by
I once believed I was a wallflower, A seed sown in an empty field, Thinking thoughts and speaking in tongues No one could understand, A circus clown performing to a crowd of empty seats, Alienated. Ostracized. Alone. But the more I observe the human condition, The more I see that no one is spared from…

Getting Rid of Me

The Weary Traveler

by
I’ve followed you weary traveler, Followed you across the desert plains. Laughed with you in the sunshine, Cried with you in the rain. I’ve watched you walk along the barren road, Even extended a helping hand. But you insisted you had life under control Time and time again. Yet, in this stillness of silence All…
