Living Water

As the water flowed into my morning cup
-the water I once regarded as onerous-
I found myself eager for it to reach the top.
So that I could drink it down, taste it, let it refresh and heal me.
The flow was so pretty, I thought about letting it run over the top so that others could see what I had.

I entered a moment
Where I’d said all I wanted
Where I’d heard all I wanted
Where the static cleared
Where I thought “Thy Will be done”
I noticed the rain stopped

Faith, Love & Hope

Faith, that perseveres with truth – despite my uncertainty – I will honor you.

Love that speaks friendship – even into the wee hours of my consciousness – I will take your hand.

Hope, that pursues me in peace – though I slumber – I will cherish you.

A Talk Amongst Old Friends

Wow, how long have I known you?
Those sparkling, honest eyes and truthful smile.
Those strong legs and even stronger heart.
That chin born to parallel the ground.
That clear, kind voice.

Wow, how long have I abandoned you?
By being terrified of mistakes.
By sacrificing Peace for peace.
By averting eyes from passion.
By keeping you in longing.

I am so sorry! It is so good to see you!
