Self-forgiveness

No moments of failure,when something was lost.

The touch of God

When sounds and scenes of harsh, cold hateWould seem to blast all good away,The touch of God subdues the rageJust as it did in ancient days.

Of color, race, culture and taste,isolated isles that cherish space,such "-isms" yield under divine embrace.

Let us be with God

Let us be one with grace,as we awake each day.

Grains of sand

I have been in this place beforewatching waves crash to shore,each dissolved into foam swallowed by the sand,but never did I notice it is the beachthat keeps my feet dry.

Love shows the way

Sometimes things do not turn outJust as we had planned.

Love's place

In the place where lovelives, there are onlyopen doors.

I do not care ifChrist comesThrough e-mail,Phone calls or letters rare;Just so I receive the cure.

Silence

Silence like soundwashes interior spaces
Can it possibly be true thatI have been loved enough to love othersWith a generous, unobstructed heart?
