Poem: The Path

The path it winds deep in the wood

The trees are full and lush

I know not if take I should

For falls an eery hush.

A hint of mystery seeps among the trees

Like a fog rising off the water

Should I go on, knowing not where it leads

Lord, help my steps not falter.

The sky obscured, the light is dim

The road lay out before me

In faith I walk, rely on Him

For though I cannot see clearly.

This is the path, I have been set upon

But the way does not seem clear

Father, I pray, please lead me on,

His voice I wait to hear.

“Trust me” arises in each tenuous stride

Until my soul grows brave and bold

Onward I trek in firm confide

Knowing in Who I am to hold.

And when I reach my journey’s end

Having defeated the great unknown

For once rounded past the final bend

I will arrive safely, to my Home.

And there my joy will abound

Through all the struggles I stood

My loved ones lost now to me found

And God proves He is Good!

Poem: The Web

Through the woods I meandered one eve
Head bowed and threading many a thought.
Of you, of John, of life; a heavy tangled weave
The demons and desires, the hard battles fought.
So many things in life to lose, to grieve
I stepped off the path searching for what I sought.
At my wits end, doubting all I believe
I happened upon a lesson I’ve ‘fore been taught..
Thoughts trap and trip, often dare to deceive
But when His Light shines, and so upon them caught
No longer darkness does the mind conceive
Not mottled and uninspired, untethered and for naught
But an intricate, purposed, and inspired reprieve
For from what seemed tangled and tattered, He has wrought
Renewed and transformed, new heights they would achieve

Poem: Peace

I could not see the forest for the trees
But I heard the wind rustle amongst the leaves
I stilled myself and lent an ear
For the words my soul needed to hear
"My Peace I give you, my dearest one"
And He smiled on me with the dappled sun
