Blush Skies

Blush Skies

Blush skies fade as dawn breaks

silkiness of love's embrace

warmth rests close

beneath infinite horizons

Snow crowns peaks

they glisten in sharp early light

awakens tenderness within

holding space for another

All too soon fades

moment drifts away

clouds hide the brilliance

portal of beauty closes 'til dusk

Winter's pre-dawn moments happen at a time when I see them and they have a way of sparking joy and beauty inside my heart and soul. Reminding me of the goodness of God and love.

A Psalm

A Psalm (18-187A)

Light breaks across
the dawn horizon

Choosing words of praise

to offer up to You oh God

Reminded of Your faithfulness

often though I've fallen

You've never abandoned me

always treating me with mercy

Your eyes always

filled with loving kindness

Though I've sinned

You still embrace me

Your love breaks me

Who is like You

Your intimacy

restores and nourishes me

Who is like you oh God

Your comfort alone satisfies

You pull me close

as only a lover does

Fear's foothold in the mind

lack of trust in Love divine

Exposes heart's belief about Father

sorrow over life given to lies

Mind races to worst

instead of rest in Him

Peace flees in moment

learn and change

Forgive us Father

for not honoring You

Who You are

missed in the moment

Forgive self

Accept grace

Look up

Advance

Somber heart

Aches with longing

What yet can be

Story yet to be told

Each day is a page

Volume of a life

How it ends

Depends on the Source

When make a huge mess,
He still loves me,
Waiting for me to seek Him out.

Waiting for sons and daughters to return,
Lavish love waiting,
Run into His arms.
