It’s been a long time,
since I last laid eyes on you.
The years have been kind.

Cinquain…
It’s morning again.
So thankful to be alive,
to witness God’s love.

Would You?
From the day of your arrival on to this earth,
people have cherished you.
Upon your death, would you want the same?
What would you want them to do?
Would you want the good that you have done,
to be fondly recollected?
Would you want your accomplishments accurately chronicled,
emphasizing the many you’ve affected?
It is hard to determine how this will go,
since you will no longer be here.
The wheel that you once sat behind,
now beyond your control to steer.
As you sit in the wings and watch this play out,
if you could, would you change a thing?
Would you be pleased with the bittersweet songs,
that mournful voices sing?

Numb…
Sometimes in life we just go numb,
emotionally drained, down to the last little crumb.
The pain of life is often too much,
open wounds are raw and sensitive to the touch.
But once people go numb, what does that mean?
How dull the senses, that once were keen?
Will the treatment of others continue to worsen?
The obvious affects on each and every person?
Once people are numb, can they ever come back,
from a road of darkness and eternal black?
Or is it a conscious choice that one makes,
to take the risk, putting everything at stake?
Upon their return, will they have changed?
Will their once dismal thoughts be newly arranged?
Only time will tell, a journey incomplete,
so tired the bodies and calloused feet.
At least when people are numb, they don’t have to feel,
the layers of pain that slough off and peel.
Maybe being numb is not such a bad thing.
It helps to soften the pain of life’s sting.

Blind Faith Sees…
Unknown roads are hard to follow,
no guarantee they will lead to tomorrow.
New experiences and adventures, waiting to be discovered,
are often blocked and thoroughly covered.
By paths so murky, can’t see where I’m going.
The roads are unpredictable, anxiety free-flowing.
But my steps are ordered, so I’ve been told,
according to the scripture of testament old.
But if I pay close attention, I don’t need to see.
My faith in God is what guides me.
As I make my way to life’s next intersection,
God is right there with me, in my mind’s reflection.
There to guide me should I stumble and fall.
He has heard my cry, even before I call.
Faith propels me to get up and try again.
To follow the roads as they twist and bend.
My faith has grown every step of the way.
A guiding light for each new day.
Penetrating the darkness that eclipses my view,
making way for the traveling I have yet to do.
By Sylvia Porter-Hall
Quantam…
Consciousness consists of frequencies of quantum energy,
hidden to the naked eye, yet bouncing off every tangible surface.
Obscure in all of its power, stored up, pent up, built up.
Yearning to be freed from the invisible restraints that hold it hostage.
On the verge of breaking through to the thin, protective layers,
that separate its intangible existence, from its illusive reality.
By Sylvia Porter-Hall
Pieces of Me…
I never knew how important you were,
until I had to say goodbye.
Even though some time has passed since then,
I can’t stop wondering why.
To suffer the loss of such vital parts,
that I never thought I would.
I’ve learned to take one day at a time,
by embracing the bad and the good.
The hazy self-image in my mirrored reflection,
is a reminder to me every day.
I certainly would not be the person I now am,
had things not worked out this way.
I had to lose these pieces of me,
to find my true self worth.
I’m a better person, in spite of the loss.
I have found my purpose on earth.

Verse of the Day – Psalm 27:1
I am inspired to share this beautiful piece from “The Bottom of a Bottle” blog. I hope that you are inspired as much as I am. Enjoy!
Psalm 27:1
Fear drove me to a life in darkness, yet His grace brought me out into His light.
LIGHT OF THE WORLD by JESUS CULTURE
Love came down
In flesh you walked among us
Bore our sins
To death you rose victorious
Bursting from the grave you rose
Glorious
Light of the world
Even death could not contain
Darkness’ spell
It was defeated that day
Perfect life
Shining down upon us
We are free
In him we are victorious
Light of the world
Even death could not contain
Darkness’ spell
It was defeated that day
He is the light
He is risen from the grave
All our sins are washed away
Light of the world
He is the light
He’s the light of the world
He is the light
He pulled us from the depths of darkness
Brought us into a glorious light
He broke the power of sin…
