Once upon a time
there was a Love
in the Heart
of a Woman.
Similar in nature
to a Mother's Love...
a deep well
bottomless
was this Love.
The Love was greater
than her love
for God
and That
was her Mistake.
And deep, deep
inside her
she always Knew
it was not the same-
this man's love
for her...
it was superficial
detached
never a complete
commitment.
O Butterfly-
Take wing
fly away!
May the Winds
Always
be kind to you!
May the Storms
never
be too strong!
May the Angels of God
be Ever
surrounding
you
because I will not be
ever again.
Be Free.
If there is a next time
ever
May God
open your eyes
to see
the love
you have been
given...
the love God
may once again
give to you
should He allow it.
Go with God!
And may the two of you
be
ever together.
My Blessing
to you.
My
forgiveness.
My last
love
I
send.

written a long, long time ago......

I see a life form
it has four parts

there was a time
we tried to bridge
the gap

the direction
we came from
the paths
we traveled

were not the same.

We tried
to walk
in each other's
footprints

impossible

The footprints quickly
were filled
with water...

Tears

have washed them

away..

The Sea

has swallowed them up.

The time has come

I can never again be
your friend...
neither will a curse
ever pass my lips...
I will
never
be your
enemy.

I know
from time to time
a prayer
for you
will
spontaneously
rise to my lips.
Nor will I ever
attempt
to withhold
or deny it.
It is destined
and will be
delivered
to God
the giver of life.

In another life
our paths crossed...

you were once
my brother
my dearest friend
my husband
my lover...

YOU WERE THE VERY
LOVE
OF MY LIFE.

you are gone
no more to be found

you walked away

a page has turned

and it is blank

my back has turned
I walk away
God takes my hand

sometimes
He dries my tears
like now

sometimes
He carries me

other times
we walk together

I climb the stairs
I see the light

I leave the world
of
the living dead

I will
never
be the same

I am
New

Reborn.

Oh, we all need a Friend
who will comfort us
unconditional
safe and secure..

Who sees the pain
in our heart
And relates
to despair
Who knows
...and that knowing
is real...

The gaze in His eyes
is not a
glazed over look,
an empty
nodding of the head...

Rather....
a deep well
understanding
your grief, sorrow, pain
your aloneness
and cries of despair...

Seek Him out
everyday
drink deep from His well
no
worthless
impostor
is He..

He's no mind
numbing prozac
stealing  
your
life....

As you're
walking with Him
He's holding your  hand...
Each day
....baby steps
become real...

His reality is
new life
hope
and  breath

Ask
for eyesight
to see
the hope
that He offers
And the price
it is right
it is free....

To those who wait
their strength shall be
renewed...

Those who
put their trust
in Me
Shall soar
like eagles...
They shall run
and not be weary
They shall walk
and not faint....

Their hope
...in Me...
will be renewed.
And they will continually
experience
My Presence...

Their dependence
on Me
enables them
to do My will
and  give Me glory.

They will learn
to enjoy Me,
for in My Presence
is fullness of joy,
and at My right hand
are pleasures
forevermore.....
