God’s Grace

The Power of Your Love

That Girl

That Girl a poem about mania  Photo by Steve Johnson on Unsplash remember that day when you opened up the closet and found yourself choosing brightly colored clothing and you put on that hat that made you  look like a country girl   soon you called up a cab and took a ride without paying then you went on parading your clothes in front of  glass doors   what a silly...

Embracing the Night

    Embracing the Night   Mist rinses my face My skin feels radiant The wind kisses my hair I embrace the night   Once in a forgotten time I raced with lanterns they won I celebrated their glory as the brightness framed the night   The night calls my senses and hugs my being with closeness only dark can provide No hiding in the night for I am hidden already   I smile...

Too Late

    Too Late   The wind blows suddenly, and once again, change moves time, the Earth feels shaky, as I grasp onto anything within reach.   My heart cries out in silence, while people whisper and stare, wondering what could have happened, and how to clean up the mess I’ve made.   If only someone would have warned me, the suffering I had in store, I would have acted on...

    ~A poem I wrote while I was waiting for my husband to return~         Waiting For My Love   As I see you walk away, I try to freeze time in my hands.   Within my mind’s eye, I see images of ocean waves, mixed with smiles, and can hear your laughter.   Once again, I see exactly where I am,  for a fantasy cannot be lived for long, when other...

No Control

    ~A poem about not having control over the uncontrollable~       No Control   I told the night to leave me, and asked the day to perish as well,  yet seasons and times never listen.   Time still moves no matter how much I plead.   So many days, I begged for tomorrow not to greet me, and begged again for winter not to arrive, even tried to will the...

I hope that you are having a great week!   Things are about to drastically change around my house with our schedules and the way we do our daily lives, so this has been giving me a bit of anxiety, but I am hoping for the best.   After dealing with depression and anxiety for so many years it's hard to get out of the...

My Silent Prayer

Happy Wednesday!!!   Hello, hello, hello, and happy Wednesday! I hope that you are having a great week and are staying safe out there. My week seems to be gradually declining, and today hit me like a stop sign in the face as I attempted to get out of bed this morning. I finally made it, but later than planned. Luckily I could afford to stay in bed a little longer this morning, but that will...
