Soul

Rainy days

Where thunder rolls

Lightning strikes

And the bed sheets

Call my name

With a ferocity

Promising 

Sweet dreams

As nature provides

Manna for

A tired soul

Summer sizzle

 Summer sizzle

Brings rainy drizzle

A sudden cooldown

Followed by 

A mugginess

Nobody loves

Azure waves

 Salty shores

Shifting sand

Azure waves

Wind blowing

Birds a pecking

And an overcast sky

Greet my eye

This morning

You control 

Your creation 

With a steadfast 

Firmness

That gives

This humble human

Peace and clarity

Thank you

For never deviating

From Your character

Even as mine

Wavers more

Than I’m willing

To admit

Questions

 What are you reading?

What’s in your cart?

What are you drinking?

What are you eating?

What is making you smile?

Rereading old favorites

Books

Coffee

Cereal

You all

Your turn

seeking soul

 Lord

Guide me

Give me

Direction

And peace

To deal

With life

As it is

Not pretend

It’s something

Else entirely

Give me hope

And a future

And never let

Me forget

Your goodness

As I seek 

Your reply

May the joy

You provide

Be enough

Always enough

For this impatient

And seeking soul

Vacation thoughts

 Some notes from time off

As you age you will no longer apologize for who you are 

Your peace is paramount

You will realize you control nothing

You will find the best and worst of humanity in the same day

You will still question your worth when it gets shattered. It will get shattered. People may mean well, but execution is lacking. 

I will have to remind myself that Lord they know what they do mentality

Poor in net worth, Rich in spirit. Reconciling this dichotomy now. 

Hey

 I’m back. Jet lagged. But back
