Deceived
Tag: simple poem
Sing
Whisper
Dirty Floor
Dirt upon my floor
I know it as much more
Within the scattered mess
Hidden proof I’m blessed
Dried play dough there
A moment without care
Bread crumbs careless brushed
Bellies filled, hunger hushed
Sand tracked all this way
Hearts a brim with play
While I push a broom
Do not now presume
As I cast it out
There is not a doubt
The memories I’ve saved
In my heart, they are engraved

Loves Art
There is a joy in joining
And when we come apart
The push and pull of day-to-day
Is Love teaching us its art
There is a pain in holding
Too tightly to your hand
It echoes even when released
Time to ease, it does demand
Absence can grow fondness
Take a moment, sit and wait
I’ll learn to soar with my own wings
Just open wide the gate
A little trust will guide us
As situations shift
First, you lead, then it’s my turn
To lift us over rifts
We each have our own value
Separate, and distinct
But when we choose together
Love is an art where we are linked

Sweet Little Toes
Little toes, ten in a row
Through fraying cloth, they peek
A wriggle, a giggle, off they go!
To dash and then to sneak
Those little toes will not be tamed
With cloth or shoes that reek
Always dancing even prancing
Shedding socks through grass to streak
Be blessed sweet little toes
Are you brave today or meek?
Your giving joy, despite being coy,
Spreading your unique mystique

Hope like Cold Fury
She took my anger
And flew away
So now, I can finally pray
She was God’s Grace
Before I asked
He gave it through her winging blast
Hidden in
My seeking brush
Hope is His, my fears to crush
He knows my needs
Before I call
This is His story after all

Hope like Cold Fury was written to accompany the painting by the same name. The original painting by Mary Grace van der Kroef is Sold.

Kindness
A single act
word
or gesture.
The power to propel
guard
or gather.
Embodies compassion,
making it action.
A smile
or nod,
unexpected applaud.
Really seeing,
being
present.
Kindness
is mindful,
refuses to stifle
when it can’t understand.
Knows God’s hand
has the end
planned.

Patience
Patience isn't passive
but A power held in check,
ready when Time comes
to move Inexorably forward.
PatiencE shows a passion
for peace iN bite sized nuggets
unafraid of silenCe
wisE in gauging climates.
