In the garden of words

I walk the garden of words
looking for the one that could spell

all the things my heart pronounced
when you walked into my sight

but still I’m searching
and yet you’re dwelling, waiting –

then our eyes link up
and there it is – the word – outlined between us

existing only as long as
our souls are connected

(APED prompt 11)

The song of one day

(APED prompt 10)

Heart is a boat

my heart is a boat

containing the supplies

for instant happiness

my family, my dreams

my will to do what’s right,

my hopes, my strengths

my everlasting hope

in grace of God

my heart is a boat

sailing the oceans of life,

bringing me whatever it contains;

my failures, my loss

my tears from lonely nights,

my falls, my darkness

my shameful kneeling

before the throne of God

my heart is a boat

the voyage goes across the seas

towards a distant shore
