Caterpillars and Butterflies

Caterpillars and Butterflies
Lambs and Sheep
Tadpoles and Frogs
Fawn and Deer
They all change so fast
Just the way
You Crazy Kids Do!

Wishes, whispers and someOne

A tap on my shoulder
A presence passes by
My head turns
Only to catch a glance.

A raindrop on my nose
A sunbeam on my lips
Together they form
Wishes and bliss.

A whisper in the dark
A thistle with a mark
Causes a storm
In a space so warm.

A quiet impatience
Fills this bubble.

And
As this world collides
These emotions churn
Their hearts survive
Only because
There is someOne above.

Soul and Heart

Will you be my heart?
Will you be my soul?
Will you be all that's falling apart?
Or will you burn it all in the stove?

Will the rain wash this feeling away?
Will the tears prove that I have paid?
Will the oceans sweep me away?
Or will I seethe until all is arrayed?

Soul, oh Soul, will you stay?
Will you rest until it is day?
Will you chase the fireflies?
Or will you play with this mountain of lies?

Heart, oh Heart, will you remain?
Will you lay unbroken in pain?
Will you touch the lion's mane?
Or will you claim that it's all insane?

God Has Healed

Each Summer Night
Passes to bring Rainy Cheer,
Yet the one thing that rings true
Is my heart's one belief
"God has Healed".

Trials come
Worry prevails
Yet to my lips remain
"God has Healed".

Sanity questioned
Love undeterred
Yet Spirit secure
My words melt to say
"Rafael".

Ordinary Days, Extraordinary Ways

On an Ordinary Day

I don't see the sky

The blue and the grey

Don't even step in time.

I walk all day

With my eyes wide shut.

And when it finally rains,

I'm clearly stuck in a rut.

The moon hidden on a plane,

None can explain

The crickets exclaim,

"Hop to the tick,

Or stuck you'll be in slick!"

That's just an Ordinary Day.

The air churns around

Claiming each sound,

But hear my voice

Ring out loud.

"I'm no Ordinary Me

Just an Extraordinary She."

So each Ordinary Day,

Changes in Extraordinary Ways.
