Led by Mercy

“They shall feed along the road, and their pastures shall be on all desolate heights.

They shall neither hunger nor thirst, neither heat nor sun shall strike them;

For He who has mercy on them will lead them,

Even by the springs of water He will guide them…” ~Isaiah 49:9b-10

If You Could See the Sound

168

If you could see the sound of water

How it roars and moves

And with each glance, a heavy load

Of care would pass right through

If you could see the power there

And know the One who gave it sound

The doors would open, love would flood

And carry onward bound

Musings on a Bird

DSCN2710

To sing in the morning

To fly with my wings

To land where I wish

And see wonderful things

But to shiver in the damp

And to search for my food

To lose my home in the gusts

And my child in the wood

Better to think of the things that I’ve got

Than to yearn for the things that I’ve not
