The Valley of Worry

Worry is a sneaky guy

Masquerading as love

Concern as caring

Let us hang him

On the gallows

Of listening, acceptance and prayer

Exposing his shallowness (exploring his private parts, Mental masturbation)

And our own frilled judgement

The hanging judge

I am not

But worry must be quashed

Inevitably fruitless

Typist Note: The writing in blue was found in the margin as if she wanted to choose one phrase or the other.

Recognition of Women’s Spirit

I am free.

I always have choices.

I choose to live in a state of gratitude

I don’t choose to peer down

Oh poor me lane

Though it oft looked inviting

Seemed to promise delights

It led instead to “aint it awfulness” pain

I’m choosing relief of the

Grief of the less

Whatever its source

I can stay to the course

Reaching out for the hand

Of the provider

I always have choices

So I’ll state it right now

I’ll not be distracted

Divided, conflicted

The sign clearly reads

To me it’s restricted

Seeds of Disorder

Fear or worry

Which comes first

Sometimes fear treads lightly

Stalking me as unnamed apprehension

A benign tumor caught in my craw

Ice water coursing into my veins

Till silently worry takes over

A brief respite from urgency

Then stores itself in the deep

Recesses of my mind

Unresolved it takes action

Quietly stitching an anxiety pouch

On which I monogram

Compare and make me look good

I am enough

No fear enfolds me

Today

In the moment

I am whole

And complete

A perfect me

Not measured

By another's compass

I do not compete

No speculation

No hesitation

No intimidation

Today I am enough

Thank you, God.

Rejoice in the Lord

Rejoice in the Lord, Always. Again

I say rejoice

As I reflect

Happy memories float

Like colorful balloons

Tied to clouds of

Distorted images of

Pain and sadness

Visions of an angry

Dad

A large open mouth

Tonsils engorged

And quivering

Head fulminating

With each

Exploded word

My inner child

Cringes, withdraws

Like the Cheshire Cat

Into a cubicle of ice

What will it take to thaw me out

Warm and embrace me

Till I become the

Dancing fairy

Weaving gossamer

Threads of love

Among the recipients

Of his spittle

Who didn’t even

Know they were scarred

My mind drew pictures

Of a prince charming

Spiriting me away

To a castle in the rainbow

Enriched sky

Fantasy worked until it didn’t.

Freedom

Zeal

Zeal for your house will consume me

That sanctuary within my heart

Resting there, nesting there

Spirit lightened and enlightened

Never more to part

All provided by your

Grace

Journeying forth

To see your face

In the traveler

Here beside me

Living life in your light

Hides me

From the pestilence of fear

Love surrounds

Freedom found

On Solid Ground

On solid ground

I feel secure

The things of the world

No longer (allow, alieve) me

If love is present

In my heart

No distraction deter me

From playing my part

Living life in a

God-filled universe

Life is Fun

It’s fun

To be

I’m safe and warm and dry

No desire to complain

About the pain

Of growing old

To complain

Would be the bane

Of my claim

Yes, life is fun

No need to run

With fear

For love covers all

And

I feel it here

And now

The beauty

The essence

The lure

The embrace

The commitment

The ability

The decision

To love

The whole human race

No more neediness

Life is fun

My Best Self

If I can find beauty wherever

I go

I’ll know

That my best self

Is being

Fertilized, nurtured, solaced

Encouraged

To grow

Namaste

The Albatross

It drags us down till

It’s hard to breather

No energy, no vision,

Eyes cast down, hoping

To avoid roots, holes,

Stumbling blocks

Avoidance becomes my focus

It’s familiar

And once I thought beautiful

My escape hatch

To hop a feeling of wholeness

Fresh air and sunlight

I looked at the world

Through its eyes

As a shadow began to fall

On everything

What I grasped turned to dust

And became my destiny

Struggling shot me back up

Into my head

To ponder and resolve

Standing at the ready to perform

Became a necessity

A straight jacket

Stooped over to avoid

The roots, the rocks, the

Quagmires

I hurt but

It was familiar

Who would I be

Without this conformation

Flights of fancy

Floated by

Some gripped me temporarily

Shook me up

Then dropped me

Unceremoniously

Back in the arms

Of my albatross

Who sniffed me a few

Times then bound herself around

My neck where

I ceased to breathe

It was familiar

Refractions

Refractions break off

Become self-seeders

Dotting the landscape

With new visions

Fertilized with hope

Love is birthed and

Rebirthed in each

Suns warmth calls

To a greater reality

When we dump the waste water

Demon haste just flew away

Calm and peaceful

Timeliness

Is my lot today

Red Rills

Red rills send

Daffodils to slumber

In the soil

Until early amber hues

Beckon them

To awake again

My spirit drowses with them

Slumber blessed slumber

Deadens the head

So the heart can dream

In technicolor

You Shot me Through

You shot me through

With seeds of hope

May I continue to be

The best me I can be

Thank you.

It’s not what people call me

It’s what I answer to that counts

I know who I am

Lord, give me the gift of understanding

and help me to avoid judging others.

10 10 15

Be Still and Know

Be still and know

That I am God

Just follow where

My feet have trod

What adventures do you

Have for me today, Lord?

10 13 15

Pay More Attention

Pay more attention to the needs of others.

Try to walk in the shoes of sisters and brothers.

Give a nod to their needs

No judgement on their wiles

A heart full of acceptance

Shows in warm hugs and kind smiles

That person that bugs

You just by being him or herself

May be hurting or grieving

And in poor mental health

If they’ve always had someone

To cater to them, they can

Clean up their own messes

While you cheer from the stands.

Disengage from their worries

So they learn from mistakes

Surrender, and detachment

May be all that it takes

Forgiveness will follow

For your ministering mind

Shut your mouth, stay the course

Their own way they will find

Blessings Abound

Blessings abound

And my heart resounds

With an abundance of

Love to outpour

Oh, the riches, the lavishness

The immeasurable grace

In the quiet of my soul

Is etched only His face

10 17 15

A prayer

Jesus, Thank you for a God directed day asking for help and being a channel of your grace and your peace and your love. Please let me rest in your grace and peace and wake with a heart full of gratitude. Thank you. Give my friend peace. Let her glimpse your presences. Thank you. God. G’nite.

An Understanding

A heart full of gratitude leaves no room for self-pity.

Judgement or blame

quells resentment, does

not distort or deny

criticize or ask why

There’s a fluidity and ease.

Practices thank you and please

is saddened by descensions,

Put downs and slights

Respectfully declines to engage

In competition, superiority and

Fights.

Lends a helping hand, opens

Doors, windows, too.

Accepts you for who you are

Masters in transparency

Strives to live a healthy life

Rejoices in others successes

And accomplishments

Encourages and strives to

Understand

Embraces and exudes

Need – free love

A heart full of gratitude is

Lighter than air and willing

To be led to new abundances.

Please Jesus, May I live this

Day with a heart full of gratitude.

10/28/15

Another Prayer

Please, Jesus, forgive my tired, unimaginative brain. Let me choose surrender and trust and ever mindful of your divine love. Thank you. Amen.

When I Value

When I value and listen to

And share

What is so rare

A true connection of souls

The bonding which makes

Each of us whole

And yet a single diamond

Glowing in the dark

Should I harken to His

Whisper

Check your list

Of names and numbers

It’s indelibly inscribed

On your heart

May peace prevail

Lord, You Carry Me

Lord, you carry me in calm,

Peaceful timeliness this morning.

I am sufficed with gratitude

Surely my hope is in you.

From the top of your head

To the tip of your toys,

Meant to write toes, but

God knows

You’re the most creative of boys

I love you and I trust you

To be the best you

You can be

I delight in your company

But loud noises still

Frighten me a bit

So, I have to remove myself

To a quieter spot

Where I can reflect

Upon how I got

To a place of calm,

Peaceful timeliness

Where I can recall

That love conquers all.

12/22/15

His Way For Me

His way for me is always best.

He is not the he I know

So I’ll look beyond

Until I find

The He that helps

My spirit flow

And feel the love

That knocks and waits

With baited breath

And open arms

To fold me in its warm

Embrace

To hold me dear

And safe from harm

Surrender dear He

Whispers low

Learn patient trust

For I will go

Before and show

Just where your seeds to sow.
