Poetry
No Chance
God blessed the world with a baby girl,
a mighty soul with no control,
as darkness fights her brightest light.
No chance of life with “reproductive rights.”
But God’s not done, He gave a son…
Ready
His body will soon rest,
his heart and soul put to the test.
Struggles weigh his spirits down,
but still he prays without a doubt.
Not for himself or worldly things…
Break Free
I lost track of the winters gone by.
Your lively voice now faint in my mind,
replaced by the sorrow of silent cries.
My desperate hands reach for you,
but deeper in darkness you fall into…
The Sunrise
I thought of you today, but that’s nothing new.
There was something in the sunrise, that reminded me of you.
You would’ve loved the canvas, of gold, pink, and blue,
the way it hugged the trees, with rays beaming through,
and the way the sun glistened, off the early morning dew…
God Picked a Flower
Soft like velvet, delicate and rare,
God picked a flower I didn’t want to share.
Basking in the warm sunlight,
God picked a flower full of love and life.
As gentle as a feather on an angel’s wing…
For Glory
Plucked from Earth like the flower you are,
so delicate and rare, your gentle heart.
Heaven knows you’re too good for this world,
so you’re called to the Kingdom, the most precious of the pearls.
God wanted you back, even though I wasn’t done…
Dreamcatcher
Oh sweet baby, the night closes in,
and the time has come to rest again.
Let go of the day and release your fears.
Be in peace with your mommy here.
Close your eyes and sleep in faith…
Tomorrow
Did you think about tomorrow, or the days that haven’t come?
Did you dream about the future, or all the things you could have done?
Did you know how much we’d miss you, or how hard this day would be…
The Storm
The storm isn’t over,
it’s just waiting for a new day.
It’ll come back to shower me,
in its bitter cold embrace.
The thunder will crack…
Falling Leaves
They were once thriving,
nurtured by the warmth of the sun and water from the clouds.
A strong, healthy greenery turned weak and brittle, replaced by red, orange, yellow, and brown.
The wind ripped them away as gravity pulled them down…
The Feather
It was just ink.
A permanent marking on my skin.
A choice that I would soon rethink.
Just a crown, a layer of sin.
A black reminder I can’t erase…
Willow's Prayer
My baby Willow,
A soft glow bounces off the walls in the still, quiet night.
With the threat of evil just outside the door,
you lie next to me so safe and warm.
My delicate babe, all curled up and cozy…
Secrets
Tell me your secrets and I’ll tell you mine.
Just take it slow, we have plenty of time.
We can’t hold them in forever.
Let’s sit down and share together.
We could whisper, write, or shout…
Us
I know it’s hard.
We’ve been through so many cards.
Work, friends, family, life.
There have been love, laughter, and heavy fights.
Together we’ve won, and together we’ve lost…
Lie
There’s no way it can be what it seems.
You’re lying to me, it’s just a dream.
It can’t be true, there’s no way.
Please take me back to yesterday.
I wanna do it over, and do it right…
Living Hell
Sometimes that memory creeps up and traps me.
Half the time, I don’t know how to respond, I just freeze.
My heart drops like it did then, and I catch myself gasping for air. You’ll never understand.
I’ll always be haunted by that part of you…
Fire
You played a game and you won,
but you don’t see the damage you’ve done.
The fire is already burning.
Way too many are hurting,
but you don’t care anyhow…
Far Away
You’re so far away but I feel you so close to me.
I just don’t understand why you had to leave.
It wasn’t good for either of us.
The ring you gave me is starting to rust.
It’s sitting all alone on that concrete stone…
Free
My faith was weak, so was my mind.
My heart was naive and in love with the wrong.
I thought I could see, but I was blind.
The weight of the world smothered me,
and somewhere along the way I lost myself…
