Love
Love as deep as the ocean
Unfathomable
Love as vast as the sky
Immeasurable
Love as abundant as air
Incalculable
Love as infinite as the sands of the earth
Unbelievable
Love as wide as the world
Incomprehensible
Perfect, plentiful, unconditional
Jesus loves me this I know
For all creation tells me so

God’s Studio
Famed artist makes a local visit
Splashing vivid tones across the landscape
A dizzying array
A wild frenzy
A fantastic display
Gradients and bold, bright hues
Shades of pink and yellow, orange and blue
Matching and contrasting
Grass, trees and sky
Filling my garden and pleasing my eye
That glorious creator of color
Blossoms and blooms
Frantically bless our senses
Delightful and delicious to behold
His creative hand and eye at work
In His studio called Spring!

Perfect Spring Morning
Blossoms and buds
Awaken
Brilliant red rhodie
Perfect pink peony
Bright blue rock seed
Orange and yellow with purple splashes fill out spring’s palette
Trills and tweets
Twitters and sweet whistles
Carrying tunes of joyful birds on wafts of morning breezes
As they gather pieces of nesting treasures
Coolness ahead of summer-like days
Saltwater fragrances fill the sky covered in a thick marine layer
Awaiting the big reveal of sunshine blue skies

Reflection Perfection
In a shadow
Sun set stretches her thin along a path
In a pond
Ripples reflect the skewed expression
In a mirror
Reveal the flaws hidden in her skin, her hair
In a window
Reality distorted peering back
In his eyes
Perfection

Music of Spring
Finch plays her piccolo
Flicker on percussion
Robins join in soprano trills
Hummingbird with her metronome
Bees buzz in perfect harmony
Sparrows round out the symphony in melodious notes
Tones and tunes in perfect pitch
Notes and measures played on queue
All in praise of their maestro, conductor, creator
The music of spring returns
Pulling on heartstrings

Good Morning
Clock radio sings me into consciousness
I slowly peel my eyes open and leave my dreams upon my pillow
.
Coffee maker brews hot Italian roasted coffee
I inhale its rich aroma and pour its elixir in a swirl of just enough cream
.
Little robin red breast breaks the silence of my morning quiet time
Reminding me there is work to do
.
off I go
.

Stages of My Mind
Pondering
She sits on a bench by the edge of the bay
–
Deep thoughts
Fill her mind with questions
–
Mulling things over
She is unsettled as to what answers might come
–
Contemplating
The path and perspective unknown
–
Considering
The ups and downs, twists and turns
–
Meditating
She quiets her mind and opens her heart
–
Reflecting
Acceptance and peace enter in waves
–
Praying
In gratitude and praise to the God who knows all

Layers
Multi layered,
Multi faceted
Unseen layers
Private thoughts
Personal goals
Hopes and dreams
—
Hidden layers
Hurt and loss
Grief and memories
Love and hate and passions subdued
—
Intricate layers
Ideas and inspirations
Fears and triumphs
Aspirations and ideals
—
Outer layer
Designed and scarred
Unique and beautiful
Ingrained with the fingerprint of God the creator
Infusion of experiences and life
Inner strength and grace
Outer beauty, calm and peaceful
Protecting the inner layers like an armor
Allowing beauty and love and compassion to flow out
