Splat

Writing
Is a crap shoot
Throwing words
Around
Some splat
Some fit
And at
The end
Of the day
Do these words
Tell a story
Or make the difference
Between a smile
Or a frown

A blessing

In the early morning
Still dark
The light
Has to awaken
My mind
Gives way
That to
Get up
Is to
Start again
A privilege
I never
Fully appreciated
Before
Current events
Made gratitude
A blessing

Thank you

Gospel music
My soul rejoices
In reverence
To the Risen Lord
Getting lost
With enthusiasm
In the love
That doesn't judge
And let's me
Exhale
And breathe
In a song
Of expectancy

Open face open heart

Fighting everything
And everyone
To find peace
I’m afraid
I write happy things
To brighten my spirits
I’m learning suffering
Is not for weak
Or meek
Or maybe
I
Am that
I have  just hidden
Behind the covering
That shields
My heart
More
Than it
Does my face

For you
This day
But redemption

Speak
Listen
And
Then
Let go
