Within the core of my humble heart,
Desiring to be set apart.
When pure white dove does alight,
Born of God’s one true light.

rustling wind
Jasper Francis Cropsey
sleepiness comes
to heavy eyes.
graying horizon
whispers retreat
as glowing sun
toils through
lingering clouds.
i welcome night
to rest again
and dream about
rustling wind.

beautiful day
Beautiful day,
hold me tight.
Show me birds
in high blue flight.
Show me bare branches
once clothed in green.
Show me fields of
waves serene.
Help me look beyond
things i can touch.
To see God’s eyes,
I love so much.

tumult
Loriann Signori
Away the rushing water sends,
Beckoned limits crushing ends.
Tumult stirs me in my sleep,
Drowning, falling, abysmal deep.
For just a moment if thoughts surmise,
Sudden hope shall draw my eyes.
Off on horizon’s razor line,
Penetrating light of eternal shine
Comforting call surrounds in peace
As God Himself instills release.

His hands
Mary Cassatt “Sisters”
Silent hands hold me
In darkness, light obstructs fear
I know divine joy.

faithful spring
Monet
cradle my soul
with thoughts of you
enlighten my sight
above crimson and blue
fashion my desires
toward seeing your eyes
deeply reflecting
comfort arise
how can I
among these masses
hear true love beat
in a heart as it passes
ground me forever
on growing warmth knolls
away from the tumult
of thrashing sopped shoals
and dreaming softly
of melody rising
resolving chaotic chord
our hearts thus apprising
so rest us now
away winter’s sting
as pleasing wind winnows
with God’s faithful spring
