Letting the
Sweet sun
Give me
The biggest hug
As I ate
The most
Decadent
Chocolate chip cookie
Is the meaning
Of a enjoying
A moment
You never
Would have
Savored before
But now
The melted goodness
Makes life
A palatable pleasure
Letting the
Sweet sun
Give me
The biggest hug
As I ate
The most
Decadent
Chocolate chip cookie
Is the meaning
Of a enjoying
A moment
You never
Would have
Savored before
But now
The melted goodness
Makes life
A palatable pleasure
You allow me
To reap goodness
As I sit here
Upon grateful tears
You’re asking
For a trust
I’ve never given
Didn’t know
If I had it
Surrender
Turns out
It is available
If I relinquish
The one thing
I’ve wanted
But never had
Control
Hermes scarf
Yankees ball cap
Jeans
Braces
And muddy Nikes
The outfit
Of the day
Trying to add
A little whimsy
To my reality
Cooler temperatures
Have me reaching
For that shredded
Martha’s Vineyard
Sweatshirt
I can’t seem
To part with
It brings
The memory
To life
Three years later
Letting gratitude flow
Blessed to see
The wild world
Created for
Enjoying
Savoring
And preserving
Relishing the day
For what it is
Not for selfish
Desires
In the hollers
Deep in
Those peaks
Finding faith
In the oasis
Of hope
On which
Survival is hinged
When the
Only hope
Is in
The Father
Son
And Holy Ghost
In the quiet
Of this early morning
Feeling peace
The fan
Going round
Is not
To be taken
For granted again
Staring upward
Grateful
Because
Simple pleasures
Have become
True luxuries
Listening to church this morning I heard something that’s shaken my soul. God doesn’t change our circumstances. We change amidst them. I’ve never heard something so simple, yet for me so truthful. In seven days, God in His glory upended my worldview. Upended everything I believed.
Torn down
To studs
And shown
Love
That comes
When searching
Is too tiring
Your work
Begins
When I
Stop seeking
Love yourself and one another
In the cool
Breezes
My soul reclines
In sweet
Soliloquies
Burberry trench
Hunter boots
And leaves
Changing to
Hues of orange
And bright reds
Bring to mind
Memories
Of a New England
Escape
Full of coffee
And cannolis
