Poem: Voices Of Creation

Listen, childCan you hear it?No, no, not with your ears onlyBut with your wholeBody, mind, and soul.Now do you hearThe voices speaking to you?The trees and the grass, rocks and seasThe birds and snakes, bees and deerAll creaturesAll creationSpeaking to you?“That’s animism,”The doubters say.“No, truly,”I reply,“It is the experienceOf a life spent learning how toContinue reading “Poem: Voices Of Creation”

Poem: Never Alone

I walk through the night.Aching pain fills my heartCold, cold loneliness fills my soulTears struggle to burst free.My mindMy beautifully stubborn mindRefuses to let go.Maybe..No!Maybe it would be better…No!…if I diedNo! It would not!Steadily onward I treadFighting a battle none can seeDrowning in the dark.“Venti hot chocolate, please,”I say to the barista.The warm drink inContinue reading “Poem: Never Alone”

Poem: Choosing Pain

We sit in that cloistered room.I pour out my doubts and fearsHeart, mind, and soul.Together we walk backwardsAnalyze, dissect, examine.I confess my lonely heartMy waiting to act.“Why?”he asks.“Why?”I inquire of myself.Because I must feel.Because I am who I am.Because I must.“Fair,”he says,“But know this truth.This dark, lonely truth:You choose the pain.”An enormous peaceFalls upon myContinue reading “Poem: Choosing Pain”

Poem: The Difference Choice Makes

Chink. Chink. Chink.Thud. Thud. Thud.Smash. Smash. Smash.Again and againThe knowledge of my alonenessThe knowledge of myselfThe knowledge of my purposeIs hammered in.I put up walls around my heartDark knowledge tears them down.Bleak, hopeless pain fills my soulI cry a soundless lament.I scream to the LordAsking,“Why me?”Pleading,“How do I bear this pain?”The Lord answers me,“You, becauseContinue reading “Poem: The Difference Choice Makes”

Poem: Glimpses

I glance out my windowSee them walking by.I step into the roomSee the hers with the hims.My heart stillsMy pulse quickensA stallion has stomped on my chest.A moment becomes eternityMy demons rise empowered.I do my bestTo hide the war inside.I sit alone thinkingOf all I don’t have.Cold, cold lonelinessChills my whole body.I cry my lamentContinue reading “Poem: Glimpses”

I am lostOn a stormy seaBarely afloat.Storms rageWind howlsCold and cruelLost in the dark. All this long yearI have been fightingDesperately tryingTo stand firm.All this long yearMy strength has been ebbingI have shed many a tear. As days grew darkerAnd the world turned colderThe blows kept on comingRelentless non-stopping.‘Til I was drowningIn grief-stricken waterBlack withContinue reading “Poem: Lost In The Dark”
