A Dusty Tome
I am an over-read book. My pages are yellowed. My binding is taped again and again, and even the the fixed spine is crumbling into dust. I smell older than aged paper: musty, damp, and moldy. So many times I’ve been read by others, only to be shoved back on the shelf. I’ve grown dusty…

Invisible Crown of Thorns
“And when they fashioned a crown of thorns, they out it on His head [and mocked Him].” I wear my own crown of thorns today. The plant-needles stab into my head. Invisible drops of blood pour down my face. I feel the invisible droplets hot, all over my face, my eyes, my neck. No ounce…

I saw you the day before last, but already it seems like years. I long to hold you tight again, just like you did years ago. Each day I don’t see you, part of me is gone. My mind is consumed of love for you. I long to feel your body pressed against mine. I…

Escape
It’s healthy and right to break the ties of the past.Yet it seems like the ropes will never be cut.It feels impossible to unbind the tethers holding me down. Run away from the voices of those around me,the voices telling me to stop trying to break free. The ways of those around me are contrary…

Now that the war is finished,…

Listening to silent white precipitation outside,allowing me to hear the music,uninterrupted.My thoughts can create words on a page, uninterrupted.Evergreen alight and decorated, adds…

Out of Eden
I weep and heave for our brokenfellowship.I cringe for not holding You close to me. Why did I choose to slam the gate, and throw away the key?What possessed me to choose death?Why did I listen to the lies that brokeour unity?I’d give everything to have onemore daymeeting You in pure innocence.

Long delay
Those who follow this blog, forgive me for the long delay. Before I went on vacation with my family the end of October, I got COIVD and had joint issues as a result of not moving for four days. I worked long hours before vacation, packed for the family, prepped the house, and got a…

In memory of Link Jupiter
He was my special companion.He loved me fierce like the feline he was. He was the softest friend and helper.He listened to my fears, and comforted me with his squeaks and purrs. Link, my special companion. His black fur made him my true shadow, following me all over the house.He would sit by side and watch…
