Poem 18- When Angels Loose Their Wings

When angels loose their wings;

The Devil and his band sings.

When angels loose their wings;

The cold, empty pain it brings.

When angels loose their wings;

The heart breaks and looses all things.

When angels loose their wings;

The empty death toll rings.

When angels loose their wings;

The foolish, to his ideals he clings.

When angels loose their wings;

My soul falls and crushes my dreams.

Poem 17- Take It Away

My heart hurts and my stomach is sick,

Lord take it away.

My loneliness arises and my inequities flood over,

Lord take it away.

My soul grows weak and my body grows tired,

Lord take it away.

My feelings swirl and my emotions stir,

Lord take it away.

My life needs help my being needs relationship,

Lord let it be.

My God take me away my Father fill me today,

Lord let it be.

Poem 16- Time

The flowers sway and the trees groan,

And they make time for you.

The mountains stand and the streams flow,

And they make time for you.

The birds soar and the animals scurry,

And they make time for you.

I travel from here to there and do everything in between,

Yet I don't make time for you.

My time has come and the stillness will prevail,

I will make time for you.

The Lord Speaks

This is something that the Lord said to me during my solo time on Wilderness Trek this past week. It kind of has a poetic ring to it, so I felt like I should post it.

"Just as I created these mountains and trees,

I have created you.

Just as I have watched over my people,

I will watch over you.

I will not give you the answers you seek.

For that would make the journey too easy,

And this is a path that is too keep you questioning,

And make you look to me."

Poem 15- Father

Father I look to you.

I question all that you do.

My heart is shattered and broken.

I am deaf to the words you have spoken.

The eye of the storm is gone.

I try to pick up and move on.

Lord, why do I feel this way?

I am ready for a change today.
