Be still
Life marchesIts paceUnyieldingIndiscernible whisper“Be still”Pauses my stepBefore I’m swept away again Never ending treadmillBe stillPersistsDeaf ears refuse to hear ExhaustedWearyPlodding under anUnrelenting whip of a dictatorBe stillPleadsForcing itself to believe heard Screech to a haltTumble to my kneesUnable to carry onThough life demands me rise Rivers flow From bloodshot eyesI raise my headA fire ignites…
Love
Standstill Both immovable in our own ways We stare at each other Unsure what to do He stands firm His stance weighed down By concrete He never poured Terrified One step in a different direction Would disrupt everything He holds dear I cry out in anguish Scars manifesting on my heart Rejection’s searing pain Instigating…
Raw
Emotions overwhelm Leaving me depleted and flat I look for the sun and cannot find it The angst of bitterness overcomes I cry out in rage “Why have you abandoned me?” Hopelessness radiates through my soul Gray days upon gray days perpetuate A deep depression that I cannot thwart I sink into oblivion An arm…
New Year
Time continues on A train racing to its destination As we hold on for dear life Praying we find a stop somewhere along the way But one never comes Overwhelmed Exhausted by continually treading water Barely keeping my head above water Yet another wave crashed over me I drop beneath the surface My body a…
Christmas Eve
A deep quiet settles in my being But not one of peace Flat emptiness pervades my soul, Sinking, settling into my bones. I can’t escape it It fights persistently for dominion. I give in, chilled by mournful melancholy Checking out of life’s existence. I hear my children ask after me But it doesn’t stop the…

Untitled
Down Down Down I drift as a leaf Flutters to the ground in Fall Destined to wither away And die. The darkness envelopes me As I avoid the light Withdrawing into The depths of my despair Forsaking my community I crouch in my solitary cocoon All alone, Hopeless In a pitch black tunnel that has…
Mundane Motherhood
Mamas! Do you ever feel that being a mother of littles is a chore? That having little ones around makes it impossible to get anything done? I’ve been there… more than I’d like to admit. I’ve been participating in a women’s Bible Study recently, and Titus 2 talks about our role at home. Now I…
Childlike
The faith of a child never failsTo amaze my world-worn soul.My son reaches out and takes my handTrusting me implicitly Though moments arise when he’s afraid,They pass relatively quicklyAs sunsets fade in duskAnd everything is againRight in his small world. A contented little elf,Who never fails to remindThat life is grand, and how muchThere is…
Autumn
A chill rides the air;Skies grow grayerWith no impending storm.Signaling the arrival of changeAs Autumn saunters in. God’s paintbrush glides along the treesPainting leaves in vibrant shades Catch the eyeAs ladies dressing for a fancy ballWearing dresses made of scarlet and gold.Gayly dancingTwirlingFloating down until they touch the ground. The leaves crunch underneath my bootsMy…
