I was looking through some old poems I had written in my poem book and I wanted to share them with you. 12-17-20 I wrote Trust Fall.
Trust Fall
I run towards the
Cliff you directed me to,
no fear left to hold me
I am brand new.
I will leave forever,
this God forsaken place
Awe and joy will be given to me
I can not wait to...
Anticipation grows,
only I know,
Flying, screaming for joy,
there, who is there?
Jerked, did I hit the ground?
No wait, I am not dead,
I feel no pain,
I have wings!!!
I will reach for the stars.
You did not kill me,
because of my faith,
you taught me to fly,
many others will say,
She was so brave,
she earned her wings
but, no
they were a gift
12-18-20 I wrote To the Lamb and the Lion
To the Lamb and the Lion
My Lord, Abba, Father
I cry out to you
Many before me were,
wiser, braver, kinder, more righteous
But your son alone
saved me in my time of
despair, so I call to the
Lamb and the lion
I am lost and broken
in my weakness you
show your strength
do not be angry my Lord,
I want to be seen,
as strong, wise, someone
worth listening to, so I
call to the lamb and the lion
If by my strength, wisdom
or worth, I face this world,
I would have even greater
despair, I am not strong, wise,
or worthy
Lord, my ways are imperfect
I chose the wrong path
I stumble and fall on my face,
so I call to the lamb and the lion
The lamb will comfort me
and spill his blood to purity
me for once I will be
Worthy
The lion will avenge me
and spill his blood to protect
me for once I will be
Safe
My Lord you are the lamb
and the lion, the first
and the last, the east
and the west, Amen.

Vellichor- the strong wistfulness of used bookstores, which are somehow infused with the passage of time
Vellichor, where I want to be
Mist, gathering on the window pane
Drizzle, what I'm waiting for
Awed, at God's creation
Calm, never leave my heart
Comfortable, in the moment
Idyllic, can only fully describe
Mellow, my pets can feel it too
Nostalgic, remember
Warm, earthy colors
Melancholic, but, not sad
Morose, not quite
Small,wonder
Sotto voce, whisper
Aromatic, the smell after rain
Earthy, and dusty
Woody, and musty
Drip, drop, plop
Crackle, as the fire grows
Rustle, as the pages turn
Soft, touches of emotion
Dim, light flickers
Ablaze, the fire in your heart
Dancing, through your thoughts

Laundry
Laundry left unfolded, beds are left unmade
so much left to do, and left to say
I give it all to you
The dishes on the bedside and in the
kitchen sink, I give it to you too.
My promises to people, and to me inner self
My longings for things I'll never have
Yours, yours, I don't want them anymore
My love for things familiar, things I've
Seen before, new things I get to explore.
They're yours anyway, what can I say?
If I give away what's mine, what is left for me?
LOVE
PEACE &
PROSPERITY

Gold
A spark can lead to an
Adventure
A question can lead to a
Discovery
A map can lead to a
Treasure
But gold doesn't always mean
Gold.
A riddle can lack an
Answer
A story can lack an
Ending
A path can lack a
Destination
But not all that glitters is
Gold.
A word can hope for a
Reader
A mountain can hope for a
Climber
A lake can hope for a
Swimmer
But gold can't hope for a thing!

Father Son Holy Spirit
Far out reaching our understanding
Are his ways
Thought leads to one conclusion we are not
Here to stay
Each life he has given leads down a different path
Right or wrong
Seek first the kingdom of God
Offer all
Necessities to Christ in prayer. Do not be
Hot tempered
Offer all
Love and lust, don't lust for things of flesh for
Your god cares
Sorrow, Joy, Tears, Cheers, Pouts, and Celebratios in
Prayer earnestly
Reveals A righteous person with a great love
Invest in
Truth

Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance
THESE five words are connected
to five ideas
these five ideas are connected
to five experiences
these five experiences are repeated
to find grief
ARE these worth your time
WHAT do you do with grief once
you find it
what do you do with grief once
you feel it
what do you do with a response
you can't find
I wish you luck
DON'T complain when you don't understand
don't force when you don't know
don't want for something you can't have
UNDERSTAND
