Old Clothes

Jun 23, 2008 in What's New!

I wrestled with the past today,
like an old coat that didn’t fit.
It scratched and rubbed my skin raw,
with tearing and untidy threads.
The garment had all but lost its shape,
simply an irritating echo of what once was.
The tangled threads no longer making sense,
only still around to remind me of old pain.
I wrestled with my past today,
then in a moment
I tossed it all away.

Little Gifts

Jun 15, 2008 in What's New!

Surprises and unexpected moments,
when you are sure all is predictable.
When the hours ahead and days stretch forward with no anticipation,
a sudden unforeseen meeting.
An uncharted bend in the road
that gives just everything a new complexion.
A seed sown where ground was believed to be infertile and barren.
Truly the mystery of life,
that place where hope springs up
exactly where it was thought to be impossible.
