The process of grieving

The process of grieving  Life as it was Things I thought mattered  Left behind in the dirt Soul without meaning Broken within Told it didn’t matter But what if it did? Hurts sometimes linger  Yet they can produce a seed Of Redemption if tended Watered with care Soil tossed and trampled Just might open and bring Life from the dying If hope waters deep The pain of losing Might open to new Life if we let go breathe in a new need And grow. 04/22/26 clc

Where my heart resides, a psalm for morning

Heavy dose of sunrise Opening my eyes Stars have lost their luster Moon has said goodnight Morning breaks horizon Miles stretch before my way Up and traveling onward This, a brand new day Hope hasn’t left It sits right beside  As I continue on this journey Know my heart resides  Tho fear may come When dark tries to hide I look up To where my heart resides Oh, where my heart resides. 04/21/26 clc

Not alone

We are not alone In the struggle No one gets to where we are Without the fears and the fumbles Of life lived Without some scars Some run deep like a river Swelling when it rains Others sit in silence But the hurt remains But we’re not alone No, we’re never alone Days when the thunder Pounds deafening in our chest When the storms keep on pounding And our spirits struggle to find rest There is peace Even if we can’t see It will find us When we stop and breathe And others find it flowing They’ve been to where we are They know the depths, They’ve walked along  where many feet have trod  And the light we can’t see In those moments Still brings peace When we stop When we breathe And know We’re not alone… 04/17/26 clc

small

on days I feel so small when the hurts just grow out of my frail and feeble spirit I fall unable to stand longing for the peace that comes only from that place of full surrender where I lay it down it may not be a powerful song of praise but I hope he hears  the cries of my heart and my desperate need… 04/16/26 clc

Rise Up

Rise up, oh sinner Listen to the call Take all those burdens Let them shake and fall At the feet of the savior Risen from the dead Wake and take notice Clear your weary head You are loved By the creator Of the World Rise up Take it in Allow the spirit To surround you As you breathe in Rise Up 03/30/26 clc

Last sips

Waiting for sunrise Open my eyes Taking the last sips  Of night’s starlight As I say goodbye To rest that was needed Body and soul Now seek the warmth Of sun to behold Arise Sleeping sun Moon says goodnight As stars vanish One by one Into day. 03/22/26 clc

Fear creeps in…

Fear creeps in Through the light Shattering joy Like oncoming night If we let it, If we let it Scattered thoughts Keep us up Or blinded to The miracle Right in front of us Have to believe it Have to open Receive it The mystery Of fragile man Held closely In the saving arms Of a being we can’t see Of breath we oft believe Passes like the whispering wind When in actuality It stands, He stands Waiting on me Just waiting on me To fall down  Believe Yet again  Believe That He is able When I am not His voice comes clear When from our heart We hear “You are ok I have you I have you and will Til the end” <breathe> 03/20/26 clc
