Scattered Thoughts

Swept away, with the rush of the wind
Thoughts are scattered, then rescind
Words, once written, striped the page
Letters danced, in spasmodic ways
Cursive lines fell, in scriptive tones
To tell the tale, from flesh and bone
Penned in mystery, forever untold
Vanished, only for the wind to behold
Swept away once more, in a blustery gale
Scattered thoughts, again, shall always prevail

Simple Passage

Among the twists and awkward turns
There is a still bridge that never burns
In life, this simple passage awaits
For your return, through an open gate
That never closes, never seals
You journey over, plans revealed
Taking on adventures, far and wide
Leading you, from deep inside
It carries you away, and lets you roam
Till once again, it brings you home

Twilight Lullaby

Golden in color, radiant, bright
Reflecting in waters that capture her light
She’s a glorious vision that shines from above
With beauty and splendor, she is unending love
Though she brightens the darkness, she sleeps through the night
Casts her glow on another, in her heavenly flight
Like a songbird’s tune, on the wisp of a breeze
She floats on her journey, with effortless ease
Till she closes her eyes, as she dips in the sky
Falling sweetly to slumber, in a twilight lullaby

The skies grew dark
On this somber day
The sunlight diminished
Into clouds of gray
That let the rains
Pour down around
With a thunderous clap
In a deafening sound
“Father, forgive them,
for they know not what they do”
The time had come
His father awaited
God called him home
As the soldiers berated
The faithful that wept
For this man they betrayed
Sacrificed for their sins
On this mournful Friday
Removed from the cross
Wrapped in a shroud
They took him away
From the lingering crowd
While a mother wept
For the loss of her son
“It is finished, it is done”
They laid him to rest
In a tomb made of stone
Guarded by sentries
He was never alone
Mary Magdalen kept vigil
Those close heard her pray
For her savior’s return
On this Holy Saturday
Yet, day turned to night
And the stone kept its place
As Mary now slept
Stained with tears, on her face
When she finally awakens
She rushes to see
The stone has been moved
The tomb, now empty
The soldiers, bewildered
Still groggy from sleep
Blaming the faithful
For stealing their keep
The crowd no longer fazed
By the threat of the sword
Rejoice in their knowing
Yes! He is the Lord
Mary calls to a man
Who is walking along
Asks if he knows
Where Jesus has gone
She begs him again
She must know His fate
“Where have they taken Him?
Please! Before it’s too late!”
As He turns to face her
She knows, right away
Yes, He is Arisen!
On this Glorious Day
Have a very Blessed Easter! God bless you all ❤
