In The Atmosphere

Right for me,

              what is right for me?


The sting of lost faith

        touches each tale

    I’ve ever told. . .


Been told before-

   I am not unique

 I am a relative.


I’ve strung together

every sad story

             turned to idol’s gold.


See, I am golden

in my mind,

no idol, but the

sun to shine

on wintry days decline.


I melt In The Atmosphere

of warmth

and almighty adoration.

The Somber State

Natures being

           is seeing

a harsh reality.


Natural disasters

         -divine-

tell of what’s to come.


An omen of outstretched hands

-togetherness to rebuild

the city nature left to crumble.


Nature is not your friend,

it’ll weather you to a foggy end,

and in her beauty, you will see

God’s wrath among the sea.


A hurricane’s fright

headed towards your home

       in the night.


With all the lives

         that nature took,

how can we overlook

The Somber State of

          our existence?

Be Glad!

 The thought had crossed my mind,

                   of you,

          from time to time.


Our growing affection,

     our growing life.


Learning to embrace change

               in a world which never stops.


Hope is like a swinging grace,

           He swoops in and takes my place.


I welcome Optimism,

  He’s the family

  I never had

when life grew sad.


“Rejoice,” He said,

            “and Be Glad!
