Maybe by Kim Findlay Maybe it’s time. Maybe it’s time for what seemed dead . . . lifeless . . . dried up to stretch and reach and thirst for more to receive more. Maybe it’s time to exhale the sorrow . . . the discouragement . . .the doubt and inhale the wonder ofContinue reading “Maybe”

From Morning to Night
From Morning to Night by Becky Gonzalez Hosanna-filled shouts from the crowd start the day, “O Lord, save us.” The same crowds that witnessed the dead being raised. Signs and wonders, palm branches and a donkey colt. Prophecy fulfilled, and glimpses of glory. Then prediction of a crucifixion. “The time has come.” The storm-tossed soulContinue reading “From Morning to Night”
Psalm 19
Psalm 19 by Carolyn Miller Loneliness is not bad until you’re made aware of it. Glory? What’s glory? The heavens declare God’s pleasure in what He’s made.

In Daniel, God’sContinue reading “Dust”
Rain
Rain by Leslie McLeod As rain you come, pouring down from above, washing, refreshing, drenching me in love. Staccato song delights my ears; you paint dusty earth in glossy hue. Droplets touch my thirsty tongue; I smell wet loam, rich and new. Raising arms, lifting face, I laugh and twirl as you fill this parchedContinue reading “Rain”
Autumn Leaf
Autumn Leaf by Prasanta Verma Leaf beautifully curling upward Cupping droplets on its skin I take my finger, wipe the drop. Leave a skirmish behind The red autumn leaf, a heart Turned toward heaven Singing in its death—I wonder, Leaf, how many songs have you sung? * I wrap myself in a coat of leavesContinue reading “Autumn Leaf”
Renewal
Renewal by Charlotte-Anne Allen A sigh a stirring Cool touch at day’s end Moist whisper speaks From night skies and Hints of rain to come Its indrawn breath Stills the voices Of insects and frogs As the first taste of Nature’s drink descends From my open window I breathe deeply Releasing the day’s work WelcomingContinue reading “Renewal”
A Season to Love
A Season to Love by Jodie McCallie Everything is brown and gray The earth, the trees, the sky It’s the winter of despair It seems to go on without end Until, as if overnight The camelia blooms victoriously A burst of hope in pink and red And another day The Japanese magnolia triumphs Though branchesContinue reading “A Season to Love”
