I did the research about my blog being tampered with, so I have the IP addresses and I will move forward to keep these creeps out of my blog and hopefully help others. A great mentor always said, “don’t get sucked in. Just look away.” So watch this…I don’t care. Try and disgrace me, and you’ll be found.
My daughter’s birthday is coming and I have some sweet poems, I am excited to share. It’s always more beautiful when you rise, because it’s not about the greatness. It’s about rising after each time you fall. When you are stuck in the thorns, you couldn’t possibly ever smell the roses, nor see ..read more

This YouTube video is Brandon Lake singing praises to God, our Father and the Holy Spirit, because of his new album release in January, 2021.

Thank you to all my readers. I appreciate your support and I wish everyone the best this year. As hard it is for some, or many, I have put this together to let some light come in. I wish people calm, when there is seemingly nothing; peace when there is anger; good health when there is a pandemic. Most importantly, Love when there ..read more

I LOVE THIS WOMAN!
I wanted to call attention to the question being asked at the beginning of this pack filled brilliant poem:: “Where can I find the light in this never ending shade…” and the poem moves on rhythmically until we get to the penultimate:
The new dawn blooms as we free it
There is always light if we only are brave enough to see it
and If we are only brave enough to be it.
Today’s mainstream poetry barely touches upon the integrity, vibrancy, hopefulness, insightfulness, a deep resounding call to rise for goodness, and intensity as this poem. I am so happy to see a poem like this ..read more

I went out collecting
flowers from all places
like an urban mountain
and the longest highway.
A ten mile lotus pond
a gospel singing church
an old meeting hall
and the Pacific Ocean.
So we took some land
dug it for marble hedges
yet the most glorious
bloom and buds came when
the colors came together.
With no fences or divides ..read more

I shut my eyes, in prayer
and it is winter here —
my toes are cold, but
where I go in my dreams
isn’t like here. Instead
hills abound, mountains,
flowers fill in every inch
not one patch is starved.
All feelings heightened
to love, with warmth and joy.
There is no sorrow
or darkness on the hunt.
The light endures there
beyond anything once put out.
[casted in Sonnet’s favored pentameter, enjambment when fitting. Stanzas following the octave and sestet stencil ..read more

What can compare
to this love? What
could stand a chance
against the glory and grace
of God, and my King?
That small crescent
of the sun on the sea’s horizon
at the break of dawn —
//
Bringing an entire day
of light to the land — the ocean
pulling the incoming day.
This is where my love is
and my tide rises with him,
as the sun and I become morning ..read more

I have included these two readings from my book of children’s verse, God’s Children.
Divine Light
Spirit Infinite
Essentially, what I had envisioned with this book God’s Children was a lot different than what you see and also can now hear. What you have here now is a three dimensional book, with images and poetry and audio. For Free –
I have read some beautiful posts of hope and I believe we all need to come together and work together, learn together, and live peacefully with another. There is much work to be done for injustices to be made right. For oppression to turn, for decades of decay ..read more

When we are one, it
is at the top of a peak —
it is quiet, silence and light
the air and temperature
is of no real importance —
a veil flows like a flag.
However there is no
bottom beneath us.
How I got there, unknown.
But at a moment, he
appears and we interlock.
He holds me and assures
I am whole and healed
for I am there, within him.
Notes,: this poem is free-verse, yet in the container of a Sonnet. It follows no rules like scansion, because this is a metaphysical conceit bound solely to beauty, built with the castle like form of a sonnet ..read more
