Follow the Light
Silence screams
Deafening the sound
Of trees singing
A melody in tune with
Tender green grass
Almost as wise
As the foolish words
Warning hearts
To listen up, never fall
Into a love so deep
Drowning totally
In the joyous flow
Of river’s lapping laughter
Soothing, calming, assuring
Hopes will be forlorn
Poetry breathes
Ancient mysteries
Sincere promises alive
With hues of passion and light
Wistful and bright with rhyme
Drenching my soul
In dark, forbidden dew
Of yearning, lingering poverty
Starving for the words
Hidden beneath my verse
Whispers of doubt
Calling out to the light
Shimmering with insight
Wonders so very subtle
Faint as the softest leaf falling
Alive with zealous
Affection for the one
Who opens the heart to give
With an unselfish honesty
Generous and bounteous
Love like this is wild
Like a willful young child
Making the mother pursue
To the ends of the gardens
And through the woods
In search of the adored
Love lingers on the air
Praying psalms to the creator
Who knows that we share
In worship that is our prayer
The harmony between words
Folded in stanzas light
And vibrant with feeling
Murmuring joy and richness
Through writers who dream visions
There are ambitions, wishes
Wise and warm and true
Who beckon to the naked hopes
Of those who know that life
Is rising up to meet the challenge
Fling away doubt and confusion
Let fear depart your heart
And smile the smile of one who knows
This time is meant for love
Love that dances like fireflies
Love that teaches the heart
To appreciate life
And listen to the sigh
Refreshing and thankful
For God’s Holy guidance
Love like this is alive
Breathing devotion and encouragement
To the soul who knows
Inspiration and insight come alive
Inside the heart who loves unconditionally
