He hears

  • glorious love

    Words I hear that fail me Are like fruit long dried Plucked from the tree. Clearly hope does not rise- Passed the shore, Over mountains, From tales of yore. But rather given- From a dove, Within my heart, From glorious love. Rick Stassi emanatingjoy(c) 2023 Read more

  • these times

    These times shall occur, Oft wanted so, A loving touch A celestial glow. Eyes that look Deep into despair, To carry the burden, My heart cannot bear. Rick Stassi (c) 2011-2022 Read more

  • Pensive

    Springing, seeping, waters flow. Lithely, floating, Autumn glow. Waxing, moaning, harvest sky. Closing eyes, sorrowful cry. (c) 2021 Rick Stassi Read more

  • My Father’s Love

    Clinging on to wings of grief. Fading, falling, Autumn Leaf. If I should bear a trifle more, I fear I’d burst to crystalline hoar. Longing outward to guardian gaze, on deeper waters soon to laze to know then as already known, in my Father’s love I’m never alone. (c) 2021 Rick Stassi Read more

  • Prayer for Humility

    Struggling to give up The predominance of self-centeredness. The instinct for self-preservation, Is surpassed by the need to look outward In empathetic realization That we as a whole are better When we consider God, And others, Before ourselves. Rick Stassi Copyright 2021 Read more
