POEMS FOR THE RECOVERING: APOCALYPSE

Tonight, I begin sharing a series of poems that helped me recover from divorce. I do so in the hope and prayer that you too may find a voice for healing in them. APOCALYPSE Where were you the night the world ended? Are your eyes still dazzled by the fire that consumed our ideals? Do your ears still... Sign in to see full entry.

RESPONDING TO SOMEONE WHO WANTS YOU

RESPONDING TO SOMEONE WHO WANTS YOU If you wish hard enough that you could start your life over again, be careful... you just might be given the opportunity. Love life and living, but remember: Life is a capricious lover. She will never be unfaithful, nor will she abandon you. But she does not... Sign in to see full entry.

PERFECT PRAYER

PERFECT PRAYER Do not be dismayed if your prayer is not always perfect. God does not look for prayer that is perfect as prayer, but for prayer that is perfect for the moment from which it arises. It is not the words you use that win the ear of God; words and silence are alike to the One Who listens... Sign in to see full entry.

WINDOW

WINDOW They tell me my poetry allows others a look into my soul, as if through a window. Yes, you may look in as I open my soulwindow’s curtains; but the real magic comes when you and I both open those windows so long stuck closed, and the souls we would only see are free at last to touch each...

WHY I CAN’T SLEEP TONIGHT

WHY I CAN’T SLEEP TONIGHT Thingahoovian ideas - strange as the word itself - about the future come singing my sleep away. No lullabies, these songs, but reels and jigs that send my non-existent security prancing under the high half-moon. I will go tomorrow bleary-eyed again, muddled, aching for...

WORN SUNGLASSES

WORN SUNGLASSES My sunglasses are showing some signs of wear; in the sunlight I see flashes of light not there. But distracting though the lights may be, flashes of light are what the mystic poet really sees. ©T. Patrick Berry Sign in to see full entry.

REMEMBER WHEN

REMEMBER WHEN After “Remember When the Music,” by Harry Chapin Remember when your days were filled with laughter, songs and kisses and sweet sad happiness? Remember when you didn’t know the songs of love, yet you were strong enough to sing? Soft the tears they bring. Memories come back to us in... Sign in to see full entry.

FOCUS ON INFINITY

FOCUS ON INFINITY Throw the camera out of focus, turn the ring and look at far away; what’s here and now becomes a blur like tomorrows that slid away into the nothing nowhere in between what you hoped for and have become, grave for the dreams you once believed, seeds sown for your springtime yet to...
