Sunlight metered softly through the tree limbs
Warmth and light playing softly upon the ground
Whispers of strength, resilience, hope.

Here and Now
Lord, help me be here, now, present.
Lord, give me a heart that sees, feels, acts.
Lord, give me strength, determination, courage.
Lord, be here with me now, present.
You are my heart, my strength, my courage.
You are my here and now.

Blanket Rain
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
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.
