things to ponder

 

 

Don’t let the enemy rob your joy.

Patience is more than a virtue.

Wait. It teaches patience.

Don’t complain.

Ate Motaung

random thoughts can heal a soul

past thoughts present thoughts

a new view given by God
another focus by God's hand
my life became static without hope or faith
I lost the life I had through worry and grief
God's love and mercy brought new peace
for a better way to life through his unwavering grace

(wrote this a Kiawah several years ago but it sure fits recent times)

give it all to GOD

it takes effort but it is possible

a new CLARITY for life...

too much in her head

many faces of thought

God is all forgiving;



Why am I not?


God is all I need;


Why do I forget?


God is hope;


Why do I doubt?


God is faith;


Why do I fear?


God is love;


Why do I hate?


God is peace;


Why do I allow turmoil?


God is joy;


Why do I not smile for that reason alone?

Day 111 tears, living and addictions

The tears puddle

out of nowhere

do they fall from bliss or to bliss?

The release is imcomplete

though comforting.

The tears season

our tasteless lives and

we find a flavor like

no other.

The taste is fulfilling

yet lacking.

The tears trace

the cheek and spot

the shirt

finding a moment's saturated

pleasure.

They dry up quickly

and are forgotten till

the next emotional flood.

Like an addict

in withdrawal

I get shaky.

Nauseous.

I seek a hit.

A high.

It's nothing I can

buy at the pharmacy.

Nor the street corner.

The only fix is

within my creative soul.

Artfully.

A blob of cerulean.

A drop of sienna.

A shapeless wonder.

I seek and find

a moment's satisfaction.

Brief but enough.
