“You okay?” He asks,
“Swell”, my reply,
While wistfully staring,
And wondering why

He’d bother to ask,
Does he really care?
Or is it just habit,
Because I am there.

Time spent together,
In silence, creeps by.
No matter how much,
I just no longer try

To engage conversation,
From one, far away,
Who turns off the chatter,
Doesn’t hear what I say.

Perhaps it is me,
Who doesn’t quite hear
The words, left unsaid,
Though, the meaning is clear

So I bury myself,
In a place, tucked away
Where the silence is deafening,
But the Lord hears me pray.

Our Lord’s Birth ~ #poetry of #Christmas

Shiny red ball, upon the tree

Tell us how it feels to be

Ogled, from eyes that stare, intent

On finding out just what is meant

By colors, hanging, proper and prim

I’ve heard them call you Christmas trim

I can’t imagine tis all you are

I truly feel you are the star!

No, not atop the evergreen

That one’s always easily seen

You are the color of the season

And this why, the very reason…

As crimson fell, from limbs, a loss

The blood of our Savior, upon the cross

Let us now rejoice, for it’s our Lord’s birth

In Heaven above, and here, on Earth!

Dripping, soggy, and wet, from nature’s sneeze

Leaves, soaked in dew, a brisk morning breeze.

Glistening light, from soft rays of the sun

Another day of beauty, has nearly begun

Sun rises ever quickly, against a muted sky

Brings about warmth, and with her, I sigh

Each morning, when I awaken, with eyes wide

I thank the Lord, for another day, diversified.

Redemption ~ #poetry

As her eyes reflect, the azure sky

And time just seems to tumble by

She’s still a child, so full of wonder

That no man, ever, shall put asunder

Let her breathe, inhale the land

Reaching up, to the heavens, grand

Watching, as the clouds roam free

Then disappear beyond the tree

She sighs, at the beauty, shown above

And marvels, at the cooing, of a dove

She prays for man, may he find kindness

That God remove, his human blindness

And let him see, what she does see

Her Heaven, this, she knows to be

As through the day, she lives her dreams

For her God knows, it is she, he’ll redeem

 

Author’s Note: This picture was drawn by 13 year old Alison Raines. She is spreading her wings with her artwork, and I am thrilled to have the honor of putting words to it. I hope I did her justice. Thank you, Ali, for allowing me to use your drawing. ❤
