A Writer's True TaleWithin every writer's soul
is an untold roll,
rolling along the shadows,
secretly desperately seeking
the glow above the darkness
that gave it life in the first place...

He Will Not Refuse
I asked…
when, Lord, when?
when will I understand?
when will my heart say amen?
I asked…
why, Lord, why?
why can’t I see the light?
why does my aching spirit cry?
I asked…
where, Lord, where?
where is the meaning in this life?
where is the faith and hope in prayer?
I asked and He answered me
hear the gentle in His truth
His peace as I bow...

Anne's Eyes
. for public domain
Hope never drains from her eyes,
never short of excitement from a simple surprise,
and Faith in a lord
was always on board,
with more than a drop of Charity.
The sight of her nourishes souls,
with the most treasured morsels
from the high table of the
fine banquet of living.
She is all giving.
She is all loving,
for those who wish...

Home
(I hope you'll find your place)
By Michelle Morris

Some say home is where the heart is
Some say it's wherever your hat is laid
I say home is that special place
Wherever you find your way
It might be where you...

Roger DodgerIn a small town nestled in Tennessee's embrace,
Lived a man named Roger, with a wild, free grace.
A rebel and a dreamer, a hippie at heart,
With a spirit so vibrant, he played his own part.
With a big heart that welcomed all souls in his way,
He spread...

CometMy heart is bound with twin-distressed grommets
But every night I look up at the sky Waiting for a comet.
My eyes fixate and focus before they leak like faucets
And I glance up, I zealously try
To spot it, the elusive comet.
My fate seems tangled in spider webs
Where I'm the fruit fly awaiting demise
The anxiety flows, the panic...

Habemus Novum PapamYes, indeed we have a new Pope.
I wonder, however, if we have a new hope.
As a matter of facts, we have two popes:
One is active and the other is passive,
Which means that one is inactive,
The latter was a hell of a man who shocked: folks,
Foes, rivals, parishioners and cardinals,
By resigning his post,
By becoming a different...

Truth of Hope
What lesson this, God's gift to humankind,
this nitid imago sent to spellbind?
Should I see through His eyes a thousandfold,
the dazzling blue flitting of love untold.
A grace. A gift from Heaven, angels sing.
This unspoken Truth of Hope on the wing....

Redeemed
Rest in the moments poured out with the rain,
silent stories, meant to reveal God’s truth…
Every ache, each sorrow, throughout the worst pain,
there is a gentle knowing that love is the way…
Rest in the news that God has come to save us from sin,
know He’ll never forsake those He forgives…
Every dark moment, despite the shadows, He...

INACTIONThe chubbiness of your dense casing
Is an insulator indeed
The small still voice is hindered permeate
The depth of a copious essence
A mind never regenerated
In new known ways to profit
Hence your way is wood as you cuddle it
Time’s river drowning dreams afar shore
As you trot in ways antique
With golden opportune wilting
Hence amity is fog

Lullaby of SolaceI emerge
I return
If I am not somewhere
As I am now
I am there
If I was not somewhere
I was there
And so I emerged
And I’ve returned...

Hidden StarsI did not ask
for the world to stop —
just for the echo to answer.
but silence
grew its own wings.
so i followed
the quiet,
to the river,
to wild grass,
to birds that sing
before dawn.
there,
i learned something
soft and strong:
that I can keep walking
even if the stars stay hidden
Now—
I walk not to be followed,
but to feel the ground
under my feet.
To breathe
and know:
