A Storm

 A Storm started

No, it wasn't outside

it was inside

The Storm started

in Me

Oh why

can't I stay calm

when winds begin

to blow

When change of situation

When change of plans turn up ?

The Storm has started

once again

Perhaps this time

I'll learn

To let the Storm

stay Outside

To let Peace

Dwell within



A Tree

 The rustle in the Poplar

reminds me of my home

Especially when the Wind

Blows strongly like a Poem


It reminds me of my Childhood

Where love and laughter reigned

And Mom was ever present

With happiness unfeigned


Security was there , yes

a feeling of Contentment

No't would ever be remiss

Peace was always Present


The Poplar e're reminds me

of all the happy days

Living in Mom's Household

I'm thankful for that faze

Spring

 POP

    pop pop

       pop pop pop

We're out

   See us ?

       We're out

Everywhere

    You can see us

We're small

   and shiny

      and Green

BUT

  Soon

We'll be vibrant

   And Orange

and Red

   and Pink

And green

    And White

Ahhhh

SPRING



Clouds

 Mom

Look 

See those Clouds

Mom, Look

Cummulus

Cirris

Mom, Mom

Look

Look

Yes

I see

I'm Looking

At You

I'm seeing

seeing You

too. 

Seeing

How Awesome

How very awesome

YOU ARE !!



The Ocean

 Crashing  

       Raging 

           Roaring

Waves

      Higher and

          Higher

Colors

     Dark Blue

         Light Blue

            White

               Green

Winds

     Stronger and

        Stronger

           Twirling

The Ocean

     Cast

        Cast upon land

Cast

    Out of its bounds

        Destroying

            Destruction

Then:

     Calm

I don't understand

 Jesus, 

I don't understand those :

   who complain

 I don't understand those :

  who cannot accept others

   who cannot rejoice

    who cannot give thanks

I am confused

Why do we clap in church

Why do we shout in church

Why do we ask for prayer

But...do not work on the Bible Verse...

  In Everything Give Thanks.

I do not understand , Lord


Love

 Love, when Love is not returned 

     When Love is not acknowledged

Be tender, compassionate, caring 

  When those are not reciprocated

Forgive, when wrong is not seen by the other

  When others think they are right

Let no Bitterness grow

Yes, hurt is there and Pain

Let Love cover the Hurt, The Pain, the Grief

Grief, yes Grief, something died

Relationships changed or never were

You want to revive the relationship

You want to heal the relationship

But, it's not happening

So, then there's Love

Love endures and is Patient

Love is Kind, not jealous, not envious

Love is not arrogant or rude

Love, Loves, even before Love is returned

Or even is it never is returned
