Come Together

Despite

unsettling 

news, my family gathers

to draw strength from one another,

healing.

Summer Breeze

Your touch is as soft
as a gentle summer breeze
washing over me.

Ready

From the darkness, I
shout for help, praying for a
kindred soul to hear.

Mending

I struggle to bind
loose threads together and mend
a fragile friendship.

Seeking Comfort

A pre-winter chill

overtakes the northern skies,

and I take comfort

in his embrace, creating

a comfort warmed by pure love.

Possibilities

There is a chill
in the air

As I walk down
the path

I've taken many
times before.

The path is
worn and beaten,

Imprinted with
familiarity.

It's time for me
to venture on

A new path,
fresh with possibility.

Restricted

Some days I feel
Restricted,
Restraints being placed
on my soul,
Criticisms and negative words
burning my spirit like
Lashes, struck repeatedly
against my soul,
Relentless, cruel.
Just when I can't
bear it any longer,
I call out to you,
praying that
you will hear me.
