My Patch - My Garden - Going Deeper

My Patch My Garden – Going Deeper

Another spring day and here I am again in my patch – my garden. I decide to take photos of my shrubs and stay around them for much longer. I feel the warm spring sunshine on my skin as I go about taking photos...

The garland.

The garland.

I saw a pale,dry garland
which was very seductive till the day break
when it was used for bed of roses,
now laying on the ground.

The pedestrians were stepping on its body.
It was trampled again and again.
It was...

Decadence

Is there a culture that can survive,
To have its citizens accept and believe...
Thriving on greed.
With an increasing supporting,
Of decadence.
Endorsed to ignore,
The overwhelming effects...
This has on the rising cost,
It pays to continue...

Day #4: Cody To Saint Mary’s

After breakfast in the Irma’s great dining hall, I left Cody in the quiet stillness of a Saturday morning. The dream I had last night about Indian summer camps now pointed the way toward things that I could once...

Calling Me Home (Day 5) unedited

Day #5 (A.M.): Glacier To Columbia Falls

As I opened my eyes and looked out from the dark corner of the lobby, I saw CNN on the monitor across the room. The sound had been muted all night, but in the copy running across the bottom of the screen...

His Guidance

You set my soul on fire -
With eyes of blue -
Your love sets me free, and
It is because of you;
I have found my way
You led me along the weary path
And made each step better than the last
In your love, I see Him
Working through your every...

The worth of life.

The worth of life.

It is worthy to live like insence.
It burns itself to spread fragrance.

It is worthy to live like earth.
when it is exploited with Sun's and rain's wrath.

It is better to live like green shades.
As they provide shelter...

Reprieve

These walls are crumbling in
Myself I cannot defend
I am my own worst adversary
The demon within
I need the light
I crave the light
My only reprieve
For in it is His warmth,
His love,
And unfailing peace
Our...

WHICH GOD?

WHICH GOD?

Long ago, or so I heard
Perfection came in a word
Perfection came on His breath
Till Adam's sin brought us death

And I just had to ask
My divinely appointed task
Which God do I trust?
Which God is right and just?

I saw...

GOD OF THE JUST

GOD OF THE JUST

Tell me that I'm wrong
That my witness don't belong.
I'll point to my Savior's Love
And place my Trust on God above

Yet still you judge me
Don't you know I am Free?
Free to tell the story
Of our Saviors Grace and...

GREETINGS TO MY MOTHER

While you examine and carefully weigh the affairs of the soul. You are as pure and elusive as the word around the golden axis of thought, which never names you. You have worked for a lifetime from dawn to dusk, and yet, after so much suffering, you...

My Baby’s Blue”

“My Babys Blue”

Works to do,
Ghosts allure,
I keep you close in a future unsure.
A path to pave, a self to mend,
Choices to make, truths to defend.
In the midst of ghosts, I keep you near,
In a future unknown, where shallows impose fear.
