I choose to walk in the fields

of forgiveness,

realizing we are being

preyed upon

by a malevolence

that's unrelenting

that we all resist

until our strength

is gone.

 

 

May your unfailing love be with us, LORD,

even as we put our hope in you.

Psalm 33:21-22

One Place - Fall

I'd rather stay in this one place

and watch the world pass me by

than to be lost within the whirlwind

never understanding the "why"?

Remaining stable keeps your thoughts straight,

"good things come to those who wait".

So I agree with Solomon the wise

that so much of life is chasing after wind,

it's so hard to get off the track

once you begin,

so,

I for one, am truly fulfilled,

while just

standing

still. 

This Girl's World - fall

This girl's world

is not like mine.

I could never understand

what's going through her mind.

A life of hardship

far beyond her years,

what's happened in so short a time

sends me into tears.

First impressions

sometimes send

a message that they don't intend;

we find ourselves apprising others

so easily, with the slightest little nudge,

what happened to my empathy

when I was quick to judge? 

September Slumber - fall

September is time

in suspension:

summer's burst of energy

spent

with everything left

to sit and wait,

wondering where

its vitality went...

lengthening shadows,

plants grown high

everything stretching

its way to the sky

life is reaching

for the ever waning sun;

in a sort of stasis resting

between what was

and what is to come...
