Struggle

Faces in a dream
Memories clouding
my vision

Sun in my eyes
on an empty
country road

Dust in the air
as my hair blows
in the wind

And I try to run
I've been trying
for so long

But there you are

And here I am
fighting again

But am I fighting for
my heart...

Or yours?

Bloom

I was like driftwood
floating aimlessly
down a muddy river

He gave me roots
on a bank near the water
through His own son

And every day I grow
stronger and stronger
budding and blooming
in His glorious light

Wink

A perfect white moon
smiles down from a
watercolor sky
as the sun sets
in the west

And I am caught up
in the beauty of
this moment

But just as I find myself
thinking of the past
and the uncertain
future

The moon beckons
Calling me to hope

Think of Me

Open window on a
cool, spring night

Curtains flutter in the
slightest breeze

Starlight hangs in
navy sky, above the
city lights here

And there

Do they twinkle with
the same hope where
you are?

Picture

Bird outside my window
chirps the morning's hello
but I fight the sunshine
and keep my eyes
closed tight, willing the
scene of dreams to
materialize behind
the rosy hue of
sunshine tugging at
a mind that wants to
play in the shadows
just a little bit longer.

Imagine

The sky swirls, navy
ready to burst any moment
with rain drop tears
of gratitude

And the stars twinkle
behind the clouded veil
waving greetings
of hope

My mind wanders
with the cool breeze
of night, off to
distant lands
of beauty

Perennial

Petals part as the sun rises
opening up to the beauty
of a new day

Having already pushed
effortlessly out of the dirt
for their triumphant return

Strong, stems
bright petals
dancing in the wind
of a new April day.
