something beautiful

Today has been  
              Grey,
                                                      off and on  

Rainy,

                                                                                                              and just over all 

Dreary.

But, "why are you down cast, oh my soul?"

"Each day the Lord pours his unfailing love upon me,
      and through each night I sing his songs,
      praying to God who gives me life."

[I will put my hope in God]

Because even when the sky is grey and the clouds weep,

there are still beautiful things to be seen.

 A flower, a feeling, a smile, a tear,

just simply 'something beautiful'

that shines and gives us 

hope.

I wrote this about a year ago.

and yet, it still accurately defines where I am:

The winds of change 

Blow through her hair
A stone-set face

An unblinking stare
Her fingers curled

Her fists clenched tight
She braces herself 

For another fight

Her future waits

As bright day
But fear grabs hold 

And she looks away
The good, the bad, 

All rolled into one
Not sure what will happen

Not sure what's to come

 She takes a breath 

And looks ahead
It's time to step forward 

Away from the dead
For it's life that's waiting 

In the things to come
Her dreams, her story

If only she'll run

A driving passion

A hesitant fear
An ardent Savior 

Standing near
Her future- an ocean

Tossing with depth
With a pounding heart

She steps

I wrote this a week ago,

it too defines where I am:

uncharted Love

unhindered gaze

eternal hope

unending maze

 a glipse- a moment

a chance to see

as stars unfold

 and Heaven be

a hope, a light
a resplendent song
the sorrows of night
lost in the throng
a veritas voice

defying the dark

 releasing the heart

and leaving His mark

a beautiful story

written in blood

incredible adventures

sealed with His love

por siempre

rhythms of grace

undeniable beauty

revealing His face

a dream, a passion

a life sung in full

born in the heart

alive in the soul.
