When it Shatters

Walls crumble
around me,
I rise,
unscathed,
resting
in the light
of his blue eyes.

.

Black Friday

Morning after
came the storm;
broken pedicels,
falling petals,
but, a seed
still bearing fruit.

.

Coming Uncoiled

You found me at the end
of a broken spring,
twirled me to my feet;
let me follow
in the shadow
of your marvelous light.

I am writing a poem a day from November 28, 2019 through December 25, 2019 to celebrate the birth of Jesus. This is day 1…This is my 4th year of doing this series and I feel so blessed!❤️

.

Foggy Day

You wrap me in a cocoon,
swirl frowns upright,
turn cares into giggles
with each word of the day;

every syllable of your metaphor
speaking grammatically correct

meeting muse to muse

positioned catty-corner
from me, in the distance,
but oh so close to my heart.

.

Path of Trajectory

Words fly
like arrows
through the heart;
pressure of your bow,
the origin
of my pain.

.

Static

I held you close enough
to hear your soft whispers,
but, never got past the waves.

.

Umbrella

You shelter me
in the storm
envelope my spirit
beneath a canopy
of your unfailing love.

Let Children Be Children

Life weighs heavy
on tiny shoulders;

sadness on a face
that should know
only love
and sweet dreams.

.

Here Comes the Bride

 

 

 Hem of dress held 

by a trembling hand,

     click of heels,

            heart

     on her sleeve.

 

 

 

 

 

 

.

When There is Nowhere to Hide

Pull thoughts inward
and breathe;
inhale his glorious light
and blow darkness outward,
like dandelions
leaving only green
in new soil.

.

Mercy Stars

 

There was a break
in the clouds,

splinters of light shone
through a torn curtain
creating kaleidoscope colors
falling like mercy stars
into every praying eye.

.

Fractured China

   Empty cup

void of warmth,

 red hue faded 

  to pale pink;

        dusty

on the top shelf.
