isolation's revelation - winter

One day I rose
ascending
upon a mountain
covered with clouds,
there I sat
suspending
above the clamor
and voices loud;
what need have I
descending?
does sun await
and troubles ending?
or new found faith
as doubt abates
and trust in God
transcending...

the well of hope - winter


How deeply 
her self doubting,
that words could not tell
but somehow
He knew her -
this woman at the well.
His manner, 
so disarming,
she could look at
herself
through the eyes of the
Savior -
this woman at the well.
We'll all find we're thirsty,
for mankind fell,
we'll find springs of living water
with Christ at the well.
Speak freely then
my sister
for Messiah indwells
the Spirit and the truth -
we're all drawn
to be with Jesus-
the well.

windows of snow - winter

when you're living in the moment
only the music abides
and the falling snow
we relish so
is the scene that God provides;
we sing in such a wondrous way
that the glass scarcely divides
the wall of windows that joins us to
the worlds of winter
outside

beloved ones - fall

to do something beautiful
that may never be known
to wake up with benevolence
and let it be shown
amid those who can’t thank you
and applause never comes
these saints are those God recognizes
as truly beloved ones
