Seasons and nature ...

Thinking about life, and the ebb and flow of it all, made me sit down and write this brief little thought. Winter Pulsates … Till nothings left Beauty … Fades from sight Hidden … The beholder’s eye, Barren … Shivering in the cold, Dark night Copyright 2010. Mary Armstrong. Sign in to see full entry.

A Sunday Thought ...

State of Grace Calling out my name, in passionate whispers, I lift my gaze to the heavens. Hope wells within; I am known … I am loved. So, I reach … I strain, for more of the unseen; for more of Him. I hunger … I thirst, for the unquenchable state of grace, transcending all of life’s tangibles.... Sign in to see full entry.

Can't believe it's been 2 months!

I have missed my blogit friends! It's been two long months since I've been able to login. I hope to get caught up on all of your posts (your most recent one's, anyway) and I hope to write a poem or two; however, I'm very rusty. My brain needs time to reboot and find its creative edge; it's pretty... Sign in to see full entry.

Overwhelmed by the work load

Just wanting to say thank you to those of you who have so graciously stopped by over the last couple of weeks and left me a comment. My workload has picked up again, and I am in the midst of a big event at work, so my time to read your blogs or to post a poem is very limited. However, as always,... Sign in to see full entry.

We all carry around something ...

Bags Screaming stop signs Exceeding time Infinity seems too long Weighted down More stuff to conceal How long can this go on? Copyright 2010. Mary Armstrong. Sign in to see full entry.

The human race ...

Since you're here, I encourage you to read this poem slowly. Without any preconceived idea of it's intended message. Then let me know what you felt, heard and saw. Thanks it helps me critic my poetry. Humanity He sits on the corner With a blanket and pan Silently, crying out lost and lonely, a man... Sign in to see full entry.

Marking an anniversary ...

In the Stillness In the stillness of this room, A peace descends, soothing my aching, restless soul. In the stillness of this room, my eyes slowly open and I peer into heaven. In the stillness of this room Peace shepherds me into Beauty and Majesty. In the stillness of this room Love and Joy engulfs... Sign in to see full entry.

Today becomes yesterday, tomorrow becomes today ...

The Hourglass The hourglass, adheres to earth’s table, predictable, the finely pressed sand, beautiful grains of quartz, too many to count fall, marking the passing of moments Never to be lived again; becoming one among the thousands upon thousands of others So, why spend precious jeweled moments...

Expecting the extra-ordinary to happen ...

A Miracle Gazing into her infant’s eyes, she’s left speechless as adoration mixes with joy and contentment, birthing a miracle; Love obliterates the stone walls encasing her soul. And, she wonders … How can this be? This love that’s captured me. Copyright 2010. Mary Armstrong. Sign in to see full entry.

Inspired by a statue ...

Free to Soar She stretches, reaching heavenward, Straining, anxiously awaiting … No longer weighted down, her chains are broken. She’s strong, lean, and young again. No more wheelchairs, No more crutches, No more leg braces, No more unseen restrictions. Full of new life, she’s ready to run; To chase... Sign in to see full entry.
