joy

  • in God’s arms

    the slowness of breath in longest days, protects and restores; heart subtly seeks, in beautiful ways. alas dying leaf signaling change, reminds in colors; texture of old, my limited range the sureness of light in bathing love, reassembles hope; sepia dreams pass, in arms from Above. Read more

  • temporal defeat

    forever in the lens of days the amber veil soon decays. we’ll see ourselves in living eyes penetration of temporal disguise. God knows our pure heartbeat He imparts in us worldly defeat. rick j stassi (c) 2011-2019 Read more

  • so far away

    so far, my God , so far away, your closeness recedes from yesterday. but, alas, as much as I feel spurned, I am certain, now, my back is turned. (c) 2011-2019 rick j stassi Read more

  • sincerity

    Through a glass darkly, it seems – I seek clarity of those innermost things. If truth lies awake on the hem of inner places sincere, waiting to divulge and alight on my outer being, then I pray for sincerity for peace so serene. (c) 2011-2019 rick j stassi   Read more

  • rustling wind

    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. (c) 2011-2019 rick j stassi     Read more
