Somewhere in the midst of the tears we cry
is a river that flows, strong and sure,
transporting our joy and pain
to a place where all becomes clear;
A river no longer muddied by that

I walk in glass slippers
waiting for them to shatter,
for I'm not used to
Cinderella endings;
I feel so scared
in trusting love;
Somehow I don't feel
I deserve it; . . .

I would like to dedicate this poem to everyone who has lost a child. In the past couple of days I have read where some of my connections are grieving the anniversaries of children/babies who have . . .

Through the gospels, we come to know a personal Jesus. We see Him not only as God, but as man. And He was a man who had to deal with the same temptations that we do. When He was tempted in the desert . . .

Where is the sun today,
for my dreams are dark,
and this path I walk
has more thorns
than I care to stumble through.
I've come to the end
of all that I have known,
and I'm scared . . .

Where love abides,
the heart flutters
like butterfly wings,
a whir of color
in a world
that is not always
so beautiful...
transforming lives,
giving hope to the hopeless,
joy to the . . .

She was a weaver of dreams, a poet, a lover. Her dwelling place was anyplace she was needed. Her home was written on the hearts of those who found her and believed in all that she shared. . . .

Fragmented heart...
a jigsaw puzzle
yet to be completed,
a work of art
waiting for the perfect brushstroke,
a symphony
waiting for the perfect orchestration,
a poem . . .

My heart is aching;
I feel so scared;
I don't know
what you're feeling
or thinking,
and I need you
like flowers need the rain;
I can't imagine
never seeing you again;
You gentle my . . .

You fall into your pain,
locked away
in the prison of your despair;
All that I can do is watch,
for I do not have the key.
I soar into blue skies,
and the breeze carries me
into a sun brighter . . .

You hide among us, broken and bruised,
Afraid to show your face;
The mask you wear is made of leather;
Of your true self, we see no trace.
You smile when others are smiling;
You cry when others . . .

Like a whisper, you beckon to me,
but my heart is weary,
and my resolve is shattered;
You gather me unto you
like a bouquet of flower buds
so afraid to bloom;
To reach into my depths
requires . . .

We sit in our pristine churches,
in our mansions made of glass;
We pray for those who have nothing,
but when we see them, we walk past.
We congregate, try to legislate,
but forget those in . . .

Dance in your dreams,
follow your heart,
never give up,
make a new start.
Toss away doubt,
believe in you;
When troubles come
your faith will see you through.

Casey looked outside and noticed the sky was becoming a bit ominous looking. She shrugged and paid it little mind, other than to make a mental note to bring her sheets in off the line before it rained. . . .

I hug my pillow tight
and close my eyes,
remembering
your smile, your touch,
your gentle voice in the night;
I'm so afraid of forgetting
what you sound like when
you laugh,
or the way

I blossom beneath you,
for you are strong and sure
like the earth;
My petals open
to embrace you;
Dark is the night...
rare is my blooming.
Bitter seeds of doubt; . . .
