OUR LATEST POEMS
Praise the Lord
"Praise the Lord; for the Lord is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant." (Psalm 135:3 KJV) One of my all time "Favorite" things to do, is dim the lights in the living room, sit in my rocker recliner, put on praise and worship music and get totally lost...
Everlasting Covenant
In the midst of the storm, my daughter told me, “Your Jesus is all you have!” Truly, truly, I was not denied,I cry to Jesus Christ day and night. I talk to Jesus Christ who is my true friend, When I feel the pain rubs me to not end; I sing praise songs, which echo in...
A Beggar
I am a beggar at your door the steps rising before my hesitant feet I can hear the sounds within your kingdom drawing me, despite my lack of confidence. My feet unclean, I could wipe them more than once and they would still not shed the grime. So I turn and sit at the...
Beauty
Beauty falls like rain, we can't catch every drop, but we stand still with mouths open to slack our aching thirst. Beauty grows like leaves on the greening tree, we try to grasp the outline of each stunning leaf but can't. Our eyes can only take in so...
We are Together
We are together. All of us here together. No-one not our brother, or our sister. We are together. So much more with one another. That in truth we make a multitude. We are together. Not alone, but wired for each other. Connected by threads that cannot be unwound. Not...
What Can we Build?
I wonder What are we building? With the tools we have been given. What can we build? That will stand in wind and storms. That won’t perish, like the earth, and fade like worn out clothes. What are we building? That will last longer than silver and gold. That will be...
Tui
Tui, with your white throat, you dance on the flimsy limb, and sing a song, that keeps me listening. As the wind tosses the leaves against a leaden winter sky, I wonder you have a tune still that causes your breast to rise . I fear the cold that I can feel in the...
Pray without Ceasing
I fall asleep to my petitions, and wake with praise on my lips and the sense of something turned around, as I slept. “I make all things new”, He says. Just like the sun, on a new day is the same but rises clothed afresh in a thousand different shades. Just as...
Space
Space When you’re present is all around you. Space to lift your arms out wide. To twirl. Space to fall down on your knees. To unfurl, and recognise, that when you’re present the whole world stops too. In that moment that you catch your breath, the space catches you....
To Witness
I, love I, love from here. From my heart, which burns, and beats and smiles and cries. Which starts and smarts, with each move and turn of the subjects of my love. I am mother, I am wife. I am friend, and lover of God. But my heart, is inside out. Love does that. It...
