Light

It begins inside

When You touch the heart, Lord

It radiates outward

Through eyes and actions

It illuminates the path

One step at a time

As I follow You

To walk in Your light

Just Keep Going

Just keep writing

When thoughts are fluttering

Through chaos

Just keep singing 

When the notes lock into

Contractions in the throat

Just keep walking

When the chill of autumn

Deepens into winter

Just keep reading

When the noise of the world

Threatens to overwhelm

Just keep living

In the midst of growing darkness

Life is still amazing

Rest

Rest

For the mind

Is as required as rest for the body

But how does one

Convince the mind to rest?

Is that where play comes in?

A Poet

A poet

Begins in a world of beauty

Challenged by the pain and hate

That devour all they are able to take down

Yet life is the goal

As the poet reaches for words

To ignite hope

The Watchers

Walking down the hill

We became aware of being watched

But as soon as we noticed

The silent statues and

Stopped

We became the watchers---

For the deer returned to motion

And silently wandered away

Magnifying Glass

Carried in a pocket

To be pulled out whenever the situation

Demands

To pull into focus

Whatever details are eluding

The naked eye

A simple piece of glass

Shaped to enlarge the question under 

Scrutiny

How often do I use

These words on paper as a means to a

Close-up view?

Research

Yesterday I had two questions

That I took to Google

The answers were amazing

And informative

Two instant learning sessions

As I spent a few minutes processing

The available information

Life isn't quite so instantaneous

The question bubbles to the surface

Only to be buried again

For lack of information,

Resources and practical experience

But then it comes full circle

And when the answer comes

So does the ability to follow through

And the question becomes

Accomplishment
