Cat
Wintry wind
Keeps summer guessing
As storm soaks;
Life-blood of earth.
Shivery
Makes me snuggle into you
And purr.

Corny love song
I’m so scared of being alone;
I love you
But you don’t love me,
Repeated to infinity.
The age-old cry:
Why me?
It isn’t fair.
I just want to love
And not to be lonely
Is that too much to ask?

Creation
The beauty of creation surrounds me,
Sights and sounds fill my head.
Solid earth.
Still, smooth water.
Limitless skies.
Birds and insects waking up
Salute the day.

Cover me
I’m lost and yet I’m found
Complete: curled up within you,
Covered by your love
My inadequacies,
My naked, raw soul covered.

Conflicted
Drawn by love
Yet wanting to run away
So attractive
And yet so painful.
I want to skip preliminaries
To wear my heart on my sleeve
But that scares me so.
Will I be burnt or simply warmed
If I stand close to the fire?

Confession
Lord, I come to you for comfort and support
Yet struggle to believe
I deserve you attention.
Lord, I bring my sins before you for forgiveness
Still holding some back
Not believing you forgive all.
I carry my own burdens
And pride myself on my independence
Breaking my back in the process.
Lord, forgive my willfulness
And my stubborn nature.

Complete
To be wholly satisfied
In just one person,
To be wholly contained…
What an amazing thing.

Castles in Spain
I build up castles in the air
And when they’ve fallen down
I feel my world has tumbled in
Not just my imagined crown.
