Winter Musings


Winter's slumber weighs heavy on my spirit,

Like rain, frozen on fragile branches,

nearly touching cold earth.
May warmth from the Son

cause spiritual icicles to melt,

like drops of grace,

like new mercies

every morning...


So thirsty, mouth and lips are dry,

Cracked, like miles of desert lands.

Only You can cause clouds to form

Bring drenching desert storm

To deeply satisfy thirsty sands.


Equilibrium’s been pulled by a strange gravity

That seems to be surely from this earth...

Would you equalize me?

Only in You sweet balance returns.

Spiritual symmetry.


This heart, you made has songs deep within

she longs to share in harmonious blending

of lives giving & receiving in love’s pleasure unending

Bringing glory to Father, Son and Spirit....

Until He comes to gather his bride

And take her to the place

He’s prepared for them

To love, forever.

I ache for Spring....
