Poetry Tuesday/Journey Through Lent – Good Friday
Why should we feel at a loss When we see Him hanging from a cross? With His life he did pay For the sins we commit every day. We can sit here and ask why Our Prince of Peace had to die. Maybe our minds will one day realize That if we truly open our…

Journey Through Lent/Poetry Tuesday – Sought and Found
In a world that seeks truth Amidst millions of lies, Where most so-called values uncouth And anything loosely flies, From where do we gather In hopes to find What is right, rather Than the easy way to bind All virtuous, righteous, and good Acts of pure selflessness From our own brotherhood? But rather crude and…

Poetry Tuesday/Journey Through Lent: Remember
Remember why He died for us So many years ago, How the mighty Lord proclaimed His glory pure and white as snow. We sometimes find it hard to understand How hard the heart does cry When we do not feel sure About why He had to die. Jesus Christ passed hung from a cross To…

Tuesday Poem/Journeying Through Lent: I Will
I will kneel at the closed stone door And survive the pain of the meek and poor, Until His light shines upon my face, Filling my spirit with warmth and grace. I will alone walk down a dark path, Knowing in my heart that He who hath Adorn mercy and unconditional love Shall send…

Poetry Tuesday – A Gathering of Friends
The time is upon us once again When shorter days mark another year’s end. “Not enough hours in the day” Is often all we have to say. Commercialism and materialism Seem to cloud true holiday realism. Impatience in the checkout line, Illegal parking by a no parking sign, Running and rushing from here to there,…

Poetry Tuesday – The Only Truth
We find it strange How the tear falls A minute too late After the flood has begun. Sad, little, inquisitive minds, Wouldn’t you like to know Where the real danger lies? A black, rotten heart Falls to pieces in its own decay And the remnants are broken down To dirt on the ground. It goes…

Poetry Tuesday – The Broken Mistress
This burning blood upon my broken face Has killed this sour soul with disgust and disgrace. Your gaping eyes gaze with longing so true, But, my dear, no love resides in you. Do your simple soul and malevolent mind Lack any comforting cure that can bind My poor, petty existence to your lust, For my…

Poetry Tuesday – Autumn’s Dance
Autumn’s Dance Like grains of sand flowing Through the hourglass, Counting down another second That beats into a day, The leaves dance above. Golden sunshine hues their yellow To brightest beauty. The autumnal ballet continues As the branches partner themselves With the wind, Whistling through the willows. The clap of thunder echoes, The distant darkness…

Poetry Tuesday – Friendship
There are many people Who come and go In our lives, But the precious few Who stay are real friends. They can look Beyond our flaws And see the living soul Inside the outer shell. A friend accepts another For who she or he is And loves every part Of that person, Even the parts…
