Loneliness to Love

LONELINESS TO LOVE

In a void of loneliness there is seen before me a way of unfailing love
A love without selfishness
without pride
without flaw
A love that could never leave you all alone
A love that lifts up always
never condemns
never forgets you
If only to reach out and have a little
does selfishness walk in this way
And when you get it will you boast of it
Sometimes it seems easier to turn away for fear of marring it
And if you do go, who will come with you
The closer you get to this love the farther it seems you get from others
How do you help others see
Why can't they hear
I reach out my hand and say come with me and my heart breaks
To win over a heart without words
words seem to break the spirit
Sometimes the more you say the less is heard
So the only way to bring them with you is to go and be still
living in the life that sheds love
The life that everyone is afraid of but in the quiet depths of tenderness
no one can resist.....

Nature Speaks the Love of God

Nature Speaks the Love of God


The trees speak of his glory,
Colors changes and flowers budding
Of the endless cycle of falling leaves
A reminder that we are such a small piece of the puzzle
That the world could not be an accident for view of all the detail
The sunrises and falls
The reeds sway in a cool breeze
The waves crash against the shore
The moon and stars give off light in the darkness of the day
Morning comes and so does spring
Waterfalls crash and rivers become streams
Everything has it's time, it's place and it's season
Everything speaks of His beauty
Of His creativity
His love, in that He made it all, just for us to enjoy
Nature is His unspoken love note to us
A place to relax, enjoy and love
A place of refuge in the rocks
A place to listen, feel, and sense
A place to remember and know that we are not alone
That we were not an accident
And that we are indeed loved
A place to breathe it all in and know, 'You are God'
