When I wake
I re-calibrate
Because
You're
Not
There.

Control
Sweet sleep
Neatly nightly
You remind us that
We aren't and
Don't need to be
In control
Because
There is
Someone else
More loving
And perfect
Who
IS
#apoemaday
Try
Treading
the
treadmill
trying
to
trick
time.

Betrayal
I don't know you.
The person
I thought I knew
Would have (could have)
never done
the things
that you did.
I
don't
know
you.
#apoemaday
Reason
Though it was an accident that killed her
she died of a broken
Heart.
#apoemaday
I wake
I wake and reach for you
and you are with me
and I am content.
Getting back to it
I’ve been musing about writing again and am challenging myself to write a poem a day. Here. Stay tuned.
Be still and know
The heavens declare the all sufficient unsurpassable power of God. When things are uncertain below. Look up.
Winnipeg
Winnipeg is waking up and I feel privileged to be here in this old ( by Canadian standards:) city as it yawns and stretches and starts the day. Blessed.
Forgiveness
Ongoing and hard and costly and easier and more grace touched with Jesus’ help and enabling. Â Letting go of the right to be heard by the one you want to hear you. Â It’s the pathway to joy and peace, through tears and the tearing.
