I used to be too afraid to Climb I’d fallen from heights Fallen far enough to kill a man Or at least crush him underneath the weight of fear. Now I’ve given up on not falling Facing my fear Trembles turn to Smiles Troubled Thoughts turn to Dreams of the Future. My God, I neverContinue reading “The Courage to Climb Once Again”

Poem – Thankful and Grateful
While I lie in deep despair While I suffer mortal agony While I am alone, deeply empty into my bones While I wonder what, if anything, will ever change… There you go again… I turn to You. I gaze into your wondrous eyes. I look into that beauty that is mine. I allow it toContinue reading “Poem – Thankful and Grateful”
Rest for the Weary
It’s been a long hard road Every day fraught with trouble. I’ve been fight or flight It’s been so long, It could be my whole life. Always fighting fear and pain. Troubled thoughts Trying to drag me into the grave. No room for self No room for love No room for others amongst these thoughts.Continue reading “Rest for the Weary”
Falling into Eternity
Changing Seasons Colors no longer rhyme Stark Contrast Between what is and what will be.
Through the Looking Glass

I wake up again Another voice says “Your pain is real, I see your wound.” I have the strength toContinue reading “Could You Believe?”

Dark Lonely Afraid
Why so lonely my child? All the bad feelings parade around. Where can salvation from this be found? Or do I find a home in this frightful grave? I just can’t seem to find the way. I go from here to there still hurt and battered and afraid. There seems no salvation from this awfulContinue reading “Dark Lonely Afraid”
Catching the Moment
I look up. A shorebird soars wings stretched from east to west, effortlessly rising on cool mountain air. I imagine myself flying with him so effortlessly, so free. Stretched out so wide bones are nearly out of joint, no longer crammed into such a small suffocating place. Would it be a dream to be soContinue reading “Catching the Moment”
