Overcast, like Winter Days that threaten from cotton Skies to drop blankets Of freezing sleet, snow, and ice, My life withers without you.
I write love poems only because I know love due to experience. The fruitlessness of current days makes me fear I am lost with no way.
I never know how these entries will fall, whether readers will like them or not. I do know I always hope they bring glory to God.
My life has been a jumble of experiences. Without the miraculous love of Jesus, I would not have come so far.
Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.— Proverbs 19:21
Letting Him Lead
This moment, this day Is an astounding blessing; Life, a passing breath, Celebrated beauty, pleasure, Gifts beyond every measure. Toddlers, teenagers, Remind us of the passions That ran volcanic Through our veins in younger years, Still, sometimes it wild appears. We have learned certain Graces to evidence with help From God who teaches All who willingly allow His guidance to work somehow. Prayer, experience, Discipline through joy and pain, Let us grow and claim Nurture and understanding – Bringing a faithful landing.
My perfectionist and critic always say I do everything wrong. Do you get the treatment, too? I have learned I can fake the tyrants out by claiming I am fooling around. When I push send, they go off the deep end. I guess it goes on and on, never ends.
Being a Copy Editor helps with some of the complaints. I get to catch other people’s mistakes, and it feeds the hungry ghosts.

Swerve The path ahead is narrow There is little space to waste A moment out of real-time, But coming round a curve The sudden traffic stops, swerve! On the grass, signed, “Keep Off!” The forest beckons, a dream welcomes, Crystal shines, the path behind, But entering the story between the lines Adventure takes hold, sweeps off the reek Of buildings and pollution, here safe to keep – Creativity impinging every minute, wild awake.
Sometimes Red, Others Green The mind can close, bars in, gates down, red, Tools to separate ideas, thoughts, imagination – pushed Until the opening, green, when everything flows Bringing chaos together, intellect unleashed – tempestuous dreams.
Place Yourself The page, a world, wide-open, The canvas, an ever-emerging vision, The photograph, anything, anywhere, seen, The pan, pot – whatever is gotten, mixed, hot, The lesson captured wisdom, learning sought, The film, bringing imagination alive, action caught, The music, no static, instruments, voices, well-arranged, The business, constant motion, full-accounting, bills paid, All things in unison, talent-focused, money made; Ideas merge artistry, creation, creators, each trying To make life worth the sands running down, The moments a treasure, pleasure, of being – Who we become on the journey toward Heaven’s gates.
Bits of Evanescence You, whoever thought pronounces thee Are not in any sort of captivity Though you may feel caged, you are free To be the one you want and need to be. This world, its shadows are not yours, mine, We transform what seems into joy we find When our souls are given ample space, time, To become caring, gracious, generous, kind. No barrier can imprison, prevent, shackle Love, It goes wherever hearts open to the treasure trove Carried in all the feeling fully expressed Given to others without return’s expectation, blessed. Happiness born in simplicity Sharing the goodness of spirit, aptly, Feeding the yearnings, bestowing energy, To turn life into Love’s overwhelming ministry.
However, Whatever, Wherever, Whenever, Why? Volume Twelve will begin soon, either today or tomorrow. I finished filling Volume Eleven this morning in an extraordinary burst of verse. I started it on Saturday, June 19, 2021, and ended it today.

Morning is not mine, I only enter when I must Or through some mistake, The schedule is made later If I have any input. Sometimes it is not To my advantage how this Allergy works out, The world runs on its mornings It grudges noncompliance; Keeping its treasures For those who wake up near dawn, Stretching forth welcome Its beauties in fine display Allowing work, joyful play.
Evening brings me strength Gives me more agility In body and mind, It has become my best time After the bright sun departs. I find myself more Adept in the waning day, My mind is able To find solutions to problems Creating is easier, too. My life has been this From the beginning and will Not let the practice Go, though I attempt making Changes over and over.
