When Winter is No More

To offer pieces of one’s own heart
To mend another’s
As waves rise
And crash endlessly
On the shore of…
Sunrise, sunset
When day breaks dawn
When dusk descends
Laughter, tears
Memories forsaken
Allowing a moment to find oneself
Among the rubble
Thorns, thistle
Under drizzling rain
Then tempest
What may calm such relentless rage?
Selfless love, forgiveness, time
Long suffering
A broken heart
Desperate for mending
For so long…
Deep the wound
Loves lost is not forgotten
A covenant made
Should not be broken
Yet we wait, we pray
We long for, we cry out
When will the storm cease?
When day breaks dawn
When dusk descends
When winter is no more

By Still Waters

By still waters I stand
And gaze over the landscape
Of my life
I see the hills and valleys
Peaks and the lowest of the low
I see dreams fulfilled
Dreams left behind
Dreams yet to come
I let the seasons of time
Wash over my soul
Like ageless whispers
Of paths walked and yet to be tread
I look towards the light of the horizon
And imagine sunsets and sunrises to come
I live and breathe in my destiny
Driven by a heart that longs to
Rest
By still waters
