prayer

 Lord

Calm my

Racing heart

As I continue

To trust

In a story

I don’t 

Recognize 

Or understand 

Joy

 Finding the good

In a nostalgic life saver candy

An extra cheesy

Slice of piece of pizza

A refreshing fruit smoothie

A hour at the thrift store

A smile and a fist bump

Exchanged after

Realizing our sports team

Of choice got the win

Joy, I will seek you

As fervently as needed

God knows I need you

Like the air

I’m so fortunate

To breathe

Could use some prayers today. If you’d humble me. Love you all.

Summer sonnet

 A walk 

Down the

Sandy lane

Sandals

In one hand

Sarong in

The other

As Southern sunsets

Are on

The horizon

The veranda 

Is calling my name 

After a long day

Baking in

Blissful sunshine

Sweet tea

And my favorite magazine 

Await me 

This evening

As the thunder

Booms overhead

Help me

 Help me

To trust

Even when

Faith is quiet

When my mind

And body seem

To betray me

Harnessing

 Harnessing your peace

For my own

Upward my eyes

Go as

I meditate

On who 

You are

Not who

I am
