Sunset

The candles lit - drip - the sunset
see its fiery glow -
spread far across the skies
dipping down quite low -

See the waters touched with scarlet
reflecting the orange ball -
bleeding color to all it touches
until darkness covers all -

Then the fire ebbs like the tide
shimmering like glass -
departing - golden sparkler
now your flame has passed -

See the darkness crawl up over
and your brilliance blot -
no flame so bright now nighttime
has carried out its plot -

How silent night seems sleeping
setting a darkened mood -
the moon hangs up there winking
in its solitude -

These are the times - a dreamer's vision
or so I've been told -
hanging somewhere between sunset sleeping
and its rising - gold

No mistakes

There are no mistakes but there are different journeys we may take to arrive at our path. They are not wrong just circulations at times, but eventually we all arrive at the way, the shoreline, in awareness and hopefully with an open heart, mind, and sight.

Sometimes you need to slow us down so that we can truly see. Awareness comes with quiet, rest, and realization. You put seeking into our minds that we may gain knowledge and insight. There is so much more to learn and to accept.

All things are possible with God. He has told us and for long periods those words lay dormant for me. Now he has enlightened me to small wonders and my faith continues to grow as His truth grows within me to all the possibilities He makes available in our lives.

He has blessed me by putting so many people who are also seeking a spiritual quest. If I can encounter so many in such a short period it makes me curious of the volume of seekers all over the world and the many angels working on our behalf to enlighten us that we may be made aware of the greater glories that are possible when we open our hearts, our minds, and let go, let God.

I cannot remember a sweeter, more peaceful, more blessed time in my life. I feel as if I have come out of the shadows and into the light. God's light. He is my security, my strength, my everyday faith, my peace, my all-that-there-is.

My days are much fuller than they ever have been before. People ask me if I am not bored. How can one be bored with God as a daily companion? Each day is a greater blessing. Thank you God.

Closure

Lead me on the road to closure with the past path, clear away all the roadblocks on the way so that I may take the next juncture with a clear highway to the future. I know that God has plans for me and in order for them to be realized I must do all my homework, close the doors to the past and open the window to the future.

I must not leave any unfinished business to block my way or the transition will run into obstacles. Each day that I search back and heal all those open woulds that have been festering the quicker I can heal and move on.

Bandages themselves don't do the trick, they're just a temporary solution. We must cleanse those wounds that they may close and heal even if it leaves a small scar. Soon you won't even remember what caused it to begin with.

That's putting the past behind and moving on to a new road, a better place, a greener valley, and a more peaceful, fulfilling life. I can feel it already God, that inner enlightenment as I release all the garbage from the past.

It won't be needed on the new path for there will be new work to do, a new purpose to accomplish, and new mountains to climb. Just as the sun sets each day and there is closure to that day so the next morning it rises again to a new beginning and a new day and everything is as though brand new. So too is closure a new beginning.

Never bored

How can one be bored or lonely when God is your companion? When the angels are around you? And you are loved? My soul and spirit expands as more time passes and God's answers come in time, and overwhelming peace and joy that come with it.

Haunted

I'm haunted by things
I've tried so hard to forget
while losing things
I so want to remember

Harmony

Harmony is what we all need in our lives and homes. For when we are in harmony we are at peace with God. In quiet we can see this all around, like blue sky and puffy clouds.

Cloaked

You didn't forget me
like I've forgotten you
your love my hope
you're beyond memory
a face I see through
a mist in which I float
No, you didn't forget me
forgive me for forgetting you
with age the past is cloaked
