    No More Tears (Revised)

    I am posting a revised version of the poem  ‘No More Tears’ as a dedication to my Aunt Linda who passed away last Thursday evening after a horrible battle with lung cancer that had spread to her brain. The burden of the flesh is no longer hers and she feels no pain or suffering only unimaginable joy. As we continue to shed…

  • I AM

    I AM

    I once questioned each step along the way,while longing to uncover paths of truth;thus pondering the meaning of my life,and venturing through ev’ry open door.For stolen water’s sweet with secret bread,as if fondling the darkness for true light. Night as heavy as a feather is light,so desolate I felt destruction’s way.When nimbly kneading at Nietzche’s…

    Go In Peace

    Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. – Romans 5:1 Raining tears of godly sorrow at the start,Like an alabaster box poured out in praise,Founts of repentance spring from her sinning heart. Her silent pledge to reverse from Evil’s ways,Is fragrance rising up to God’s mercy seat,Such sweet aroma…
