Hanging heavy in the sky above
The dense white cloud gives up its rain gently, effortlessly
Falling upon the earth in a mist, in softness
Barely touching the skin like a blanket of water and air
Sky and earth together
Blanket Rain

Wide Open
Honesty can scare because there is no hiding
Words and feelings bare and exposed
Wide open
Honesty can heal if honesty is kind
Words and feelings showing care and concern
Wide open
Honesty is found in the face of Love
The One who died for us and all our words and feelings
Arms wide open
Mercy wide open
Heaven wide open

Plans and Hopes
Planning to do this or that; a list of things to come
Thinking of what could maybe be, or maybe not be
But fixing my eyes firmly on You, my maybes fade away
Into the surety of what is, what will be, what will always be
Love, hope, forgiveness, mercy, healing
My mind quiets and settles at Your feet and in Your care.

Find That Child
People are more than what they do
The car they drive, the kind of shoe
People are more than what you see
The soul inside that yearns to be
Free as a child, running wildly through the grasses
Tumbling madly into the waters
Knowing that they can do it all again and again and again
With no agenda, no worries, no difficulties
Look deeper, if you can, into their eyes and find that child
And give it freedom to come out awhile.

With One Word
Storms of chaos, fears, disability, anger, helplessness
Waves larger and larger till you feel that you will drown
But there is One who can walk right over those huge waves
With one Word, “Peace,” they are gone
Calmness and peace and stillness and smooth water
All around
Cling on to that promise. Slainte, Lisa
