The following are some "free verse" poems that came to mind while searching and weighing my life and the blessings and trials I had been facing. Wow - that was almost twenty years ago! I have been tempted to tweak them, but then that would make them reflect the present, rather than what was on my heart at the time.
I hope there is something here that will either minister to you directly or serve as a wisp to kindle anew the pondering of your own present path and journey. Love and Blessings! Woody
SEEING CLEARLY
Looking down
Into a watery
Abyss --
Unfathomable ...
Clouded by
Churning water
Bubbling away the view ...
So our hearts
Most clearly see
Life
When at
Peace
TONIGHT
Night has fallen
And left a trail
Of sparkling gems
In her wake
Countless
Specks of light
Humble me
SHARP WORDS
If I must wound
Another
Please let it be
As a surgeon
To heal ...
To renew ...
Not merely to expose
To restore ...
In love
Not in reckless speech
Merely to win a debate
But to see ...
A soul set free!
MY LORD - PEACE CHILD
Some write of peace
And seldom walk in it
He walked and lived it
And others wrote of Him
MY FRIEND
Your friendship
Shined so brightly
When
In the hardest of times
When others
Walked away
You remained behind
And gave me a shelter
In your arms
And a shoulder
On which to cry
Thank you
For being
My friend
LOVE
To open one’s heart
Like a passage
A corridor to another
Two roads become
A single path
Towards each other
With each other
Words, kisses, a touch
Tears and laughter
Blending into ...
One life share
A love given
A world rediscovered
(like a child again)
Expanding into
Joyful mystery!
SOMEBODY
Dear Lord
I felt quite
Worthless
Measured by others
Or in my own eyes
Then I remembered
The words of an old song
"You're nobody
‘til
Somebody
loves you"
Looking around
For that love
My heart fell
And fainted
Until I realized
When Looking
Above
The King of all
Loves even me!
And that day
I became...
Somebody
