Wake up
Pray
Smile
Thank God
I’m alive
Coming out of
A long
Dense fog
The tunnel
Lit with hope
For the first time
Tough seasons
Are there
To show
What true
Refinement
Can truly be
Not the
Elusive mirage
But really
Reality
Being fulfilled
In purity
Mercy and undeserved
Grace
Cozied up
In a blanket
Of protection
From a Savior
Who guides
My every move
The water rests
The mountains cease
And I remain determined
To conquer
The beast
What I am
Is underway
By He
Who is
I AM
In lush green splendor
The rock formations
That surround
The waters width
Amazed with serene peace
As the beauty
Of the natural world
Beckons my attention
With a simple greeting
Hello, sweet friend
Your invitation
Harkens my surrender
Into an embrace
I hardly ever forget
Today
I let yesterday
Be a memory
And the present
An opportunity
Not to relinquish
The joy
That may be
Sing the song
That sets
The soul
Free
In nature’s stillness
A lovely soliloquy
Arises
And on the
Angelic whispers
I come alive
In knowledge
That my footsteps
Are never
Unaided
For in
The Christ child
Scarred beginnings
Have uncannily
Beautiful endings
In weakness
Comes strength
In surrender
Redemption
The scenic vista
Of the soaring waves
That ebb as I appear
I am a molecule
In the grandeur
That is creation
I envision
A Tuscan countryside
Made real
All those
Years ago
Who knew
When a dream
Becomes reality
It’s possibility
Remains
And is etched
In memory
Eternally
Latin rhymes
And beats
Bring me
Back to
Days on
Boats
Soaking in sunshine
And carefree memories
Where my only decision
Was where
Do I want
To eat dinner
Thank you
For giving
Me a spark
I’ve been dormant
In hibernation
I’m meeting
The world
Once again
