Brilliant morning, new and fresh
Blessings flow to they that wait
Patiently walking through calm and storm
Take this path; don’t hesitate
Infinite grace is here for you
I’ve set the table; please don’t be late
Let nothing stop your destined trek
Release your worries; let fear abate
Raise your sights and dry your eyes
The time is come to claim your fate
Come sit with me and sing a song
I’m waiting here at ecstasy’s gate
From the first conversations
Strong winds blew my soul
Soothing this tired desert
Your kindness made me whole
Passionately surrendered
Through a waterfall of tears
You’re the one I so long prayed for
Days and months and years
Met you in my dreamless nights
Watched you from Creation’s view
Coming together, connecting, one
Beautiful union, precious and new
Distance made the days seem long
Storms and sorrows and fears to lose
Leaving burdens in the Cradle of Hope
In passion and peace, emotions confuse
But time and distance made us strong
Weathering winds and rains and fog
Learning the lessons while holding hands
Touch the turtle and smile at the frog
Seeking God in each new day
Sought His will, together we prayed
We lived in Light, in Gratitude’s way
Careful not to stay dismayed
Give and take, through push and pull
Chose to live and enjoy and laugh
Images and words shared as we walked
Poems and love notes and a tall giraffe
Living life each day with you
In days of rain, bright sun, or shady
Growing stronger as two and one
Learning to love my Lavender Lady
In your love, I am strong
In your grace, mercy lives
One in His Blood
With a God who forgives
Joy in the storm
Peace in hell’s fire
Unshakable foundation
Through the fog and the mire
Heaven’s truth flows
Great river of life
End of all suffering
Loss of all strife
Perfection is dawning
To the one who believes
Resist the temptation
To the one who deceives
Believe in God’s love
Live now in His peace
Accepting the healing
Perfect release
Midnight blue skies
Above the darkened forest
Clear, confident, sure
Encompassing the night
Midnight blue skies
Universal flowing depth
Dwelling in perfect wisdom
Encompassing the hearts
Storms of forever
Enjoy a lasting repose
Dwell in the new wisdom
Encompassing the snow
Midnight blue skies
Overshadow all the land
Flood the flying angels
Encompassing the falling hearts
obscured by the weather
windows, fogged, dim the view
remembering the scene
bright, hopeful thoughts of you
dream through the night
eyes opened in the storm
longing for return
of old days, safe and warm
begging for the grace
heal this weary soul
longing for forgiveness
return to ancient whole
confusion settles in
ever-present friend
prepare for coming blizzard
watchful ’til the end
remembering the moments
when life was plain and blue
doubt and insecurity
painful to review
outside the storm begins
inside storm gains strength
measured life of growth
by breadth and width and length
early memories fill the scene
child of a quiet abode
nowhere to express the soul
to sing the heart’s great ode
to touch, to hug, to feel, to be
rarely known in this dim life
trudging onward drearily
joy unknown, but also strife
sought and found the shallow cures
to keep the heart from feeling real
pushed emotions deep within
as feelings grew, so too, did zeal
walked alone, while in a crowd
darkened room and darkened mind
deeper into evil’s trap
look with fervor, yet never find
to the line and then beyond
raucous mind, losing sound
insanity freed, bound in chains
seeking quiet, chaos found
lost it all to find the truth
to feel, connect, to be, to live
loving creation’s perfect child
release the self and choose to give
outside the winds are gaining strength
but, inside, all is safe and warm
journey of a lifetime lived
remembered in a perfect storm
