Charcoal-Coated

This cobbled lane she’s wandering
Fog obscuring her view
She saunters lost, not pondering
This world of charcoal-gray hue

Dim lampposts; veritably useless
Masked completely in soot
Lachrymose mood, so fruitless
As she aimlessly drifts on by foot

Were there others around her?
She had ceased to notice, if so
Had it been days, months or years?
Since another had nodded hello?

Steps now long-forgotten
Of a dance whence she spun and twirled
Pastel veils floating and fluttering
Ribbons careened as she swirled

All now the vaguest of memories
Thoughts so dim, now surreal
A world now coloured in emery
Long gone, the initial appeal

Where began these footprints alone
Embossed timelessly in the the dark?
Leaving an ash-coloured tint to atone
Then swept with the breeze, gone the mark

She had been born for more than this
Pain ebbed it’s way through her heart
Emotion rising of life she missed
From love, joy and hope so apart

But no, this void was better
She surrendered back to her dreary, dark world
No emotion, no pain would now win her
Back to her life of naught she unfurled

Her eyes drifted back to her cobblestone lane
The oppressive, dank fog not noted
Direction not needed and gone was her pain
Her thoughts, hopes and world charcoal-coated

Hidden World

When light and shadow begin to play We look at things a different way The once obscure can come to light The ostentatious more contrite The details of the inner shell Free to dance in freedom’s swell Look to see the hidden world In amazement let God’s love unfurl 🌸🌺💕🌺🌸🌺💕🌺🌸

Last Wednesday Night

  When I think of Jesus on this Wednesday evening which would have been only two days prior to His unimaginable torture both by man and in hell, I cannot begin to think of what He must have felt. Did His mind race with anxiety and fear? No; for perfect love casts out all fear. […]

From the Shadows

From the Shadows   Here in the shadows where I like to hide Deep in the darkness is where I abide    I look at my sin and recede even more I’m shamed and in agony right to my core   I look to the light unworthy and shamed I hear the gentlest of whispers […]

I Rest in Your Arms

  I Rest in Your Arms   You hold the universe, yet I rest in Your arms Constantly loved and protected from harm   My eyes are set on You, You keep me from foes You embrace my heart, You ease all my woes   You calm my spirit with the breath of Your love […]

Spring Feeling

  Spring Feeling   I hear the springtime circling round The songs of the birds, beautiful sound   My son in the back yard playing guitar The sound of a woodpecker somewhere afar   The golden glow of the sun as it begins to set The stars aching to show but it’s not their time […]

No Loss in You

No Loss in You   Though I know I’m not good enough You forever hold my hand You bathe me in your love and grace Goodness too great to understand   Bring me back to what really matters; Making Your heart glad You are the refuge I run to Your love is the best I’ve […]

None Like You

  None Like You   I sing you praise my precious God, there is none like You I give you glory my beloved King, all I want is in You   I worship You with all I am, nothing can take Your place I give myself to You my God, there is nothing like Your […]
