Miracles Coming

I've seen people healed

Witnessed minds set free

Sickness flee

Death defeated

And love prevail

The beauty of creation

Coincidences divinely intentioned

Relationships restored

Pain turned into joy

Grief into gratefulness

Sorrow into celebration

Fear into freedom

Crises into second chances

Failure into success

Loneliness into family

Loss into gain

Falling into flying

Passion creating purpose

Isolation surrendering to embrace

New birth

In every season

Just watch

This time of darkness

Will be invaded by the

Light of hope and the

Brilliance of truth

Your miracle

Is on its way.

Joy Like Birdsong

Just as the call of the birds

Signals the dawn, the buds, the blooms.

And heralds Spring, and heavy rain.

So my heart is calling.

Calling for new things

New thoughts

New beginnings

Fresh revelation

Of hope

Peace and wisdom.

I tell my heart

Raise a cheer!

For life.

For love.

For the serenity of a smile

A glance, and a sigh

Of joy. True joy that heals.

My Happy Place

When I think of places that make me happy,

I think of sunshine; water; and mountains.

Beaches, evergreen trails, and fishing.

Lake Michigan, the Texas Gulf Coast, and rocky waterfalls.

The smell of salt air, mountain sage, and pine forests;

Wild roses, Autumn aspen, and horses.

The sounds of laughter and hilarity

Ocean waves, a campfire, and rain.

These are all in my heart; forever memories.

Happy places with happy humans whom I love;

And happy furries who have loved me.

I can honestly say

Wherever I am

I'm in my happy place.

It is Good

When you can look at your art

Your song, your poem,

Your story, your invention,

Your painting, your decorating,

Your business idea, your sewing

Your creativity of some "thing"

And admire it

And honestly say

"It is good!"

You are participating in

the continuing joy and celebration

of the Creator of the Universe

And you now know you have been

Gifted something beautiful

That becomes a gift to others.

It is good.

So are you!

And God saw that it was good. (Genesis 1:12)

The Music

I hear the music.

It comes in the night in a remembered tune.

It comes in the morning on my husband's greeting.

It comes near a stream as the water flows over stones.

It comes on a beach as the waves encompass my toes.

It comes softly as it flows from the loving eyes of my pup.

It comes through birdsong and squirrel chatter;

Through child laughter and friend texts.

It comes in a vision of my granddaughter, standing in an endless sunrise.

Cheery, peaceful, sad, alive...it comes with each day's moments.

It comes when I remember to have ears to hear.

 I wrote this poem in a week when two musician friends went to heaven. There are few things that bring me more joy than playing music with friends. Writing this with Holy Spirit comforted me. I pray it brings comfort to some of you, my readers. Love to all.

For The Minstrel

Broken heart

Broken dream

Thrown apart

Ceasing being.

Death can’t win

Heart! Stand up now!

Your friend cries not

His heart now bows

Before the One

That he has loved

Veil removed

He’s now above.

Above the pain

The strength that failed

Today he conquers

His dream prevailed

He sees His Lord

His friend, His God

And oh how good

As Glory nods

To him, the one

Whose faith was strong

Is now given

A brand new song.
