Poems

Love

Love is a special, priceless thing
discovered by too few.
Sometimes symbollized by a ring,
or by what we say and do.
Love is the beauty and the smell
of rain falling on the trees,
or the key that unlocks a prison cell;
the one thing that sets us free.
Love is that all too unique gift
that can catch a heart afire--
it can mend and heal every rift
to take us higher and higher!
Love is that all special something
we should never let fade from view.
A song of peace we can sing;
all that I feel inside for you.

Blackness

Blackness descends; evening's tide.
Nocturnal beasts that by day hide
come out to greet the ebony haze.
Eyes glow green and return my gaze.

Afraid of what I cannot see
and shadows which crawl over me;
I try to run, but it's too late.
Eternal blackness is my fate.

Interloper

An interloper
Malignant shadows intrude
The sad face of death

Friends

Friends are like silver and gold.
Precious metals, so I'm told.
Loneliness cuts like a knife.
We all need friends in this life.

Love can bring us to our knees.
Surrounding us but hard to see.
There I was, standing in line,
waiting for God's gift devine.

Many times I watched love walk,
my heart face down, outlined in chalk,
but she was there when I cried--
to restore the hopes that had died.

Love can help us through this maze.
For this gift I give Him praise.
Thank You Father for my friends.
No greater gift could You send.

Voices

Nothing in this void
but the voices of darkness--
Come with us! they say.
Light follows darkness.
The voices are light deprived.
Let His light shine through.
