small

I know 

How fragile

I am under the stars

And in each day I’m learning

How truly big you are 

And though 

I sit in quiet

At the beginning of my day

My soul is restless,

Desperate 

Needing you as I pray 


You may 

know the plans 

You see the path I’ve walked 

and where I’ve been

I see

My defiance

I see my hurts

I see my sin


And you

Seem to never give up

When I 

Have long fell short

And feel I’m whooped


And though 

I know the verses,

I can find meaning in the lines

I still quake inside 

Thinking I’m too small,

insignificant 

For you to find 


Yet you know

When I shed these tears

And somehow 

In the back of my mind

I hear…


“I love you

My creation 

Stop listening to the lies

You’ve seen my love

In action

In the stillness

Clear your mind 


I am here.

I am always here.”


And I breathe,

Taking the moment

To believe.


I still feel small

But my hope

Is built on

Knowing through it all…


I’m not alone.

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
