Book of Broken

 

Write a poem

Write a book

Book of names

Book of numbers

Numbers add up

Numbers lie

Lie in wait

Lie prostrate

Prostrate before Him

Prostrate in rest

Rest a while

Rest In God

God loves me

God loves you

You smile

You tease

Tease your hair

Tease and laugh

Laugh a lot

Laugh and grin

Grin a greeting

Grin in agreement

Agreement binds

Agreement seals

Seals with candlewax

Seals with a sticker

Sticker shock

Sticker stamp

Stamp letters

Stamp in mud

Mud bath

Mud cakes

Cakes and cookies

Cakes are sweet

Sweet dreams

Sweet memories

Memories of childhood

Memories of romance

Romance when young

Romance fades 

Fades like jeans

Fades like vision

Vision of greatness

Vision of promise

Promise kept

Promise broken

Broken heart

Broken glass

Glass

Heart

The Link

 

The basis of my being me

That is a tough one let me think

That may be one for Socrates

Cannot define within a wink

 

The Lord, made humans for His joy

It’s written in the ancient ink

Sin separates and blocks that joy

And Christ alone’s the bonding link

Teasing

 

Teasing’s humor with a sting

Laughter with a point to bring

Careful, though, it can cut deep

Teased one may not laugh but weep

Alignment

 

It’s easy, Lord, to go astray.

My mind will wander off the path.

I know Your way is the best way.

I don’t want to deserve Your wrath.

My thoughts require a cleansing bath,

To disinfect spiritual sores.

I fall short when I do the math.

Align my heart and mind with Yours.

 

The devil steals, destroys and kills,

Accuses Your daughters and sons.

Your Spirit gives, builds up and heals,

Encourages Your faithful ones.

When we’re near You, the devil runs.

You stand against the bully’s scores,

And You outweigh him by the tons.

Align my heart and mind with Yours.

 

You, Lord, desire the best for me.

You lead me where I hope and thrive.

When You control, I am set free.

In You I’m healed, fully alive.

In You, I need not strain and strive.

Please, guide me to Your open doors,

Until in Heaven I arrive.

Align my heart and mind with Yours.

 

I worship You, my Lord and King.

You are the One who wins my wars.

Majestic One, I praise and sing.

Align my heart and mind with Yours.

I am, Poetic Bloomings, I am from...

 

I AM From…

I am from Pennsylvania, where trees, hills, creeks, lakes and rivers abound. Born number four of five sisters, I am from a house knit together in love, honesty and hard work. I was raised by a hard-working and giving mom and a hard-working and honest dad who loved hunting and fishing. I am from being raised on home-grown veggies, fruit and nuts, deer, rabbit, squirrel, and fish. I am from a neighborhood of many relatives. I’m from being outdoors all day long in our country valley playing with cousins, sisters and neighbors. I am from walks in rain in the spring, wiener roasts and bare feet in the summer, jumping in leaves in the autumn, sliding down long hills in the winter. I am from an extended-family celebration on Christmas Eve honoring Pappap’s birthday as well as the birth of Christ. I’m from a small school in a small town with a graduating class of 110. I’m from reading poetry, Nancy Drew and Trixie Belden. I’m from watching Man from Uncle, Gilligan’s Island and Dick Van Dyke. I’m from a church startup in our neck of the woods. I’m from dating since I was thirteen, one guy for four years that drove 110 mph on curvy roads. I’m from summer vacations in Delaware and venturing forth in travels to Michigan to visit more cousins, Wyoming with my sister, and down in the southern states with the church choir. I’m from marrying into a Wyoming family, having two children Colorado raised and homeschooled. I’m from traveling with my husband and kids and sisters to all fifty states, and several countries in four continents. I’m from over forty years of creative writing, often published. I’m from graduating from college when I was fifty-nine. I’m from a place where the roots of faith in Jesus go deep, a place of eternal hope.
