small

I know I am small

Amidst the wonder of it all

Life,

Your creation

Towers around me

It’s easy to fall

Into the pit

Of my own fears

How can You truly 

want to hear?

With all the majestic wonders 

I stand isolated 

in my tears

Thinking 

“Why would you draw near?”


Then Your small whisper

tells my soul

“Be still…

Know my spirit surrounds you, 

Warming you from the chill”

I feel when I’m afraid

Trying to make 

my own way

When You beckon me

over and over

Urging me

to wait


Upon You.

I trudge through.

You watch, 

beside me

Waiting for me

to turn to You


And see

the mighty trees

As they adorn their

springtime leaves

Early buds open

to praise Your majesty

The whole earth rejoice

With the noise

of birds and bees in chorus

Lifting up each voice


And as I’m here

I’m still so small

But isn’t that the 

wonder of it all

That You remember

Each moment

And wait on me

to call


To You.

Marvelous Mysteries

Those  Marvelous mysteries Like sunlight above the trees Often we behold so many wonders Right below our nose  With a sigh Realize there’s so much to this life Hope seems  such a distant cause When in our thoughts  we find ourselves lost Looking so far  down the line That we stumble over the sublime At our feet In our grasp Miss it while  holding on to the past… <pause> If we can stop Take a breath Take solace in where we’re at I know it’s hard but gotta try There is more If we open our eyes… To those  Marvelous mysteries. 01/13/25 clc

Like Winter Breeze

Subtleties Like winter breeze Cooling my insides Trying to let go Caught up in The memories  So many left Even if I know That time will bring her  Back to me Maybe just in a thought Hopefully, she remembers me Don’t have to wonder  ‘bout that Think I already know But the future Isn’t a Disney movie It’s often times More like losing And moving on Breath it in Think I already know See my breath On the wind Escapes, And then I breathe again It’s amazing How such a little gesture Seems to show It’s not just about letting go It’s also about Knowing There’s spring After the snow… Wake up heart Only God truly knows And we get so caught up Tossing to and fro Winter morning - Help my weary soul. 01/15/25 clc

In Mississippi

Wonder if her heart‘s  still in Mississippi? Whispering Pines go back in time Wonder if she’s missing? A little peace, piece of her soul Often times those are the hardest  places to let go Roots Run deep Life may twist and turn I wonder if she keeps Looking west To a place her spirit yearns  To be Oh Mississippi, I hope her heart finds peace I still say a prayer For her to be Back in Mississippi,  if that’s where she’ll find peace 01/14/25 clc
