STEAL AWAY

STEAL AWAY Don’t steal away into the night; Don’t turn your back, give up the fight. Your strength is greater with every day; Fight on with courage, don’t steal away. Don’t steal away, give up the prize. Don’t heed the doubters, believe their lies Faith overcomes what’s in your way; Live from your... Sign in to see full entry.

GUARD DUTY

GUARD DUTY I pace away the summer evening like a soldier standing guard until my relief arrives, locksmith’s van gliding into town. Am I guard or captive? Both, perhaps: Captive to technology, car alarm won’t let me drive, locked front door keeps me from my keys; guard of dreams returned to me from... Sign in to see full entry.

DINNER ALONE IN A RESTAURANT FULL OF PORTRAITS

DINNER ALONE IN A RESTAURANT FULL OF PORTRAITS Thirty wizened faces on the brick and timber walls - portraits of elders known no more to me than the people of this village now my home. I am a stranger here, and lonely, waiting for the waitress, waiting for love. She enters, and the thirty faces come... Sign in to see full entry.

ROOMS WITHOUT WINDOWS

ROOMS WITHOUT WINDOWS These ingredients of life You give, I mix together - and You suck me into the bowl as well. I rise, dress, open the drapes and retreat to rooms without windows. I labor to forge my trinkets; though You have thrown open the vault. You beckon me to enter Your mansions of grace; I... Sign in to see full entry.

THE MOMENT OF REBIRTH (END OF A SUMMER SHOWER)

THE MOMENT OF REBIRTH End of a summer shower This is the moment when all is reborn - all of it, every thing, anything and everything is put to death, drowned and carried off in a river of all our fleeing yesterdays to return, redeemed, in the billion new raindrops that, for an instant, give a home...

FORGETTING TO DRESS MYSELF

FORGETTING TO DRESS MYSELF Words and silence alike well up like this dawn; and I forget to dress myself, so aware am I of Truth enfolding me. Say not to me that this is one and that is different; the day of judgment is not yet here. It is enough that I have risen to dance anew with all. ©T. Patrick... Sign in to see full entry.

You feel an emptiness, so you pour in what empties further. Look! The One Who fills all emptiness comes through the... Sign in to see full entry.
