D  are to write

A  rtful expressions, emotional insight

I  mages of identity

L  ost in time's memory

Y  earning through chaos and beauty.

how did we get here,
through a tear
or another
mundane year?

but we have to move
and part with the past
in order to last,
our lives were meant
for good things
and
birds that sing,

so I will not cry
but you and I
must wake up to
the new sun in the sky.

Thou who
doubted Thee
and left a famous
memory
for all of humanity
by way of Christianity,
you could not
conceive
the deity
that is faith's reality
because of your inability
to trust the Almighty
within His risen
identity,
your devotion was
a poverty
but Christ gave you
vitality
and granted you
to feel and see
with total
objectivity,
and while this
did prove to be
for you a necessity
our Savior
placed His pity
on your mentality
and proved that His
majesty
was not born
in mediocrity
but miraculously
in the nativity

to lead us all
to eternity.

NO DOUBT
to Thee
all glory
be.

when emotions squeeze my heart
and stir the contents of my soul
I cry.

when the world is going one way
and my mind says "no way."

when my love goes off
the deep end
of this ocean
we call life

I cry.

why not pray,
what do you say?
nothing to lose on any day.

prove me wrong
and to that I say
God is patient
the day is long
so
why not pray?

HOPE is a word,
a promise of faith
rich and lasting.

To pair it with politics
is disrespectful and cheap,
poor casting.

The Audacity.

My words go with me everyday.

My words can laugh and run and play.

My words can shout or sing a song.

My words can be short or very long.

My words can be angry and sometimes mad.

My words can be lonely and very sad.

My words can shine and be very bright.

My words can be still like a cold dark night.

My words can soar like a bird in the air.

My words can hug like a big warm bear.

My words can dance like a ballarina’s toes.

My words can balance on the end of my nose.

My words can squirm and twist and wiggle.

My words can sometimes make me giggle.

My words can grow like a beautiful flower.

My words can last for one whole hour.

My words can be sticky like jam on toast.

My words can be scary like a groaning ghost.

My words can be forever like the big blue sky.

My words can flicker like a firefly.

My words can clap and celebrate.

My words are mine to build and create.

My words can be many or they can be few.

But most of all,

My words are a gift from me to you.

Sacrificing

All

In anticipation of

Never ending

Time with God.

the matter of age is in your head
where it will stay
until you are dead.

was grace that fed
my starving fate
and gifted treasures
on my plate
and made my being sure
and strong
to travel life
however long.
and grace stayed close
and ever dear
through every laugh
and every tear
and in the
end will carry me
to meet God in eternity.
