Moving Walls

.   .   . When I was a young boy, my mother took me to visit papa. We used to sing to him, clasp his cold hands, stare into the globes of his eyeballs. All the while, I wondered where he truly was. His eyes were not simply staring; rather, it was as if they were … More Moving Walls

My Father (poem)

My Father, and yours, Of the nations and shores; Who made all things beautiful, Whose standard is more. More life in abundance, More joy overflowed In His dance of deliverance, When death bowed down low. A ring to remember That His way is better; A cloak to conceal Wounds that grace will heal.

Look Up (poem)

  Look up to the sky, Tell me what do you see? Hello? Are you listening? Do you care about Me? Look up to the sky, Raise your head, do not doubt. Just a tilt to see sunlight, I know all you’re about. Look up to the sky, See how slowly it moves; Yet quickly … More Look Up (poem)
