Must be on some kind of poetry kick lately

I'm back again.

I've recently finished this poem and thought I would share it.

Let Me Trust in Thee

Let the wings of thy Spirit

Carry me nearer thy side,

That in the flesh shall I see

And in thy presence abide.

Let my weakness be consumed

As I am filled with love Divine.

And my countenance be changed

That from me, thy light might shine.

Let my soul delight in thee

And trust not in arms of others,

That thy blessings may be added

As I seek thy kingdom, Father.

Lord let me sing thy praises

With an eye and heart single.

Thy promises fill my soul!

Let thy Spirit with me linger.

Let me trust in thee my God.

Let fruit from the tree of life

Fill my heart with joy so sweet.

Cleanse me with His sacrifice. 

If you like it, feel free to share with friends and family. 

Remembering September 11 eight years ago.

I'm posting a poem I wrote about 9/11 here.

Please feel free to share if you feel it merits your support.

Hearts and minds

Time passes through our bodies

hearts and minds

like a cold, blunt knife

through butter

Changing our form

hearts and minds

with the heavy gravity

of aging life

Pushing and bullying memory

into the black-topped

shadowed, forgetting corners

of aging life

Hearts and minds

defy time’s violence

holding tightly to memory

pulling love from shadow

Cleaving to pain and tragedy.

Hearts and minds

disciplined by duty

will never forget.
