you project a messy aloofness
red hair bunched and hanging
in strands around your face

Lethargy
Lethargy today
Sitting at my computer
Can’t keep my eyes open
Endless Creative God
The heavens show forth
Endless creative beauty
Of Almighty God
Autumns Eve
On an Autumns eve
My heart cries out with longing
For a God of love
Fickel Heart
The heart is fickle
It betrays at every turn
I need Thy sure hand
Through Christ
I died, yet I live
Through Christ who lives within me
By death I gain life
Death to Self
I shall die to self?
Let rebirth through Christ renew
And gain life by death
Freedom of Flight
Clouds silver and blue
Endless lands beneath my feet
The freedom of flight
Sleep
Leaves rustle in the wind
The coolness of a night breeze
Sleep overcomes me
Blessed Mother
Loyal wife is she
Of great faith and love for God
My mom is blessed
Fallen Heroes
The helpless in need
Saved by those who care and lead
Two fallen heroes
