Oh, to be heard... - summer

This Saturday, Sept. 3 I will be meeting all kinds of people at the author event in Grabill.
My book "Seasons for Your Soul" contains my thoughts, Psalms from the Bible and also a place on each page to place your own thoughts permanently in written word. You can find my book on the links above, and my event on this link:  http://www.acpl.lib.in.us/
Click on "next" to show my event listing.
 
There are not enough people to listen,
we all know it's true,
so many things you'd like to say
and no one to listen to you.
A few thoughts here,
a few thoughts there,
still so many
we're desperate to share...
You're reading my thoughts just this moment,
written words hold definite power
to make the transference to other's minds
is a seed given over to flower
with what's inside
that life itself has stirred -
if you're reading this then I can rest,
knowing I've been heard!

Sculpted Sky - summer

The clouds are being sculpted
both here and in Tibet;
when light begins to paint them there
we are left with a waning silhouette...
Forming, drifting, disappearing,
imagination billows white
Sea of blue send them sailing
ever into westwards sight...

Tree Song - Summer

Deciduous trees,
with their close-knit leaves,
slap and splash in the wind
as they please;
waving a waterfall
kind of sound
so happy and free
'til they fall to the ground.
The forest tones down
when winter arrives,
the fir trees song is all
that survives.
Hear the sad wind
as it howls through their hollows;
a forest filled with firs
carries with it winters' sorrows.

The Message - summer

Whatever you may think of my writing,
whatever you may think of me,
I'm praying the message may not be ignored;
that God is forever our Life and Love
and all eyes be on our Lord.
