Renewal

 

How refreshing the rain,

little droplets sit

Upon the leaves and flowers

like diamonds.

The sound penetrates the

otherwise stillness

of morning.

Birds enjoy the pools

that spring from nowhere

in communal spirit

they bathe.

The afterness of a downpour

leaves an aura

unequal like renewal

from heaven.

Thoughts

I cannot begin to think how my contribution matters,

but as you say "as small as a mustard seed"

I cannot begin to think how I can reform my fears,

but then the steps today, are greater than yesterday.

I cannot begin to think how I can change my outlook,

but as you say "the clay of cracks are being smoothed away."

I cannot begin to think how beautiful life will be,

but as you say "your return is assured through prayer."

I cannot begin to think how far I have come to the mountain top,

but as you say "the top is just an aspect of the walk with God."

I cannot begin to dream that darkness is no more.

but as you say.....................You love me.

The script

In the darkest hours

when the script of life

is a vast chasm.

Things beyond scope,

beyond screaming encasement

to delve into a pit of extremes.

 

To walk on air

in the beauty of Gods creation

and taste, touch the essence

of his love.  That with guidance

to rewrite the script, fulfilling

the destiny of life on earth.
