The Well

The well runs dry

Not a drop within

The muted cry

‘Fill me again’


‘I surrender’

Lay these burdens down

The quiet speaks

Its message resounds 


‘Son, I am with you

I will fill the aches and needs

I hear your heart

Keep looking to me’


Along come many

With ‘wisdom’ of the world

Do this, try that 

So many directions

My head begins to swirl


As they leave 

Their voices never satisfy

Looking deep within

They leave my spirit just as dry


The water doesn’t flow

From kings or queens

The water that fills

Comes from that eternal spring


‘You, Lord

Can satisfy

Help me,

Fill me

Mend my heart

and open my eyes’


A bloodstained trickle

Then a steady flow

The hope of the savior

Finds my weary soul


You rescue 

This weary soul


And I drink.

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
