Writing releases thoughts of mind and heart
Poetry captures feeling
Journaling reminds, records
Painting lets feelings flow
Dance brings release
Music infuses
Art inspires
My heart

Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. —Pablo Picasso
Faith holds strongly
Belief based deeply
Un-battered, Un-broken
Heart un-swaying
Joyfully dances securely
Soul peaceful
Doubts fly away
Faith stands firm
Beliefs rooted deep
Unshaken
Deep rooted beliefs
Firm stands faith
Away fly doubts
Peaceful soul
Securely dances joyfully
Un-swaying heart
Un-broken, Un-battered
Deeply based belief
Strongly holds faith

(Revision of Original Poem published in September 2019)
Do you like me,
My mind, my thoughts inside?
Respect me
Internally,
Or the shell which I reside?
I’m more than that.
Shadorma
Enjoying summer in
Lavender adirondacks
Warmth of the sunshine
Seeps through ancient tree’s canopy
Ministering to my soul

(Visited the college today to get my books for the Fall semester and decided to take a walk around campus since it was such a nice day. Saw these lavender chairs and had to stop to rest in them.😊)
As my heart fills with perplexity
And threatens to overwhelm my soul
My minds fills with Your words to me
Comforting with precious
Promises so sweet
And remembrance
Of Your care
Towards
Me

In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul. Psalm 94:19 KJV
It came creeping
In the dark night of my soul
Fear over shadowed
Covering like a thick fog
I lay paralized
Frozen in its doubt and dread
Until a shaft of hope
Broke through the darkness bringing
Strenght to rise and overcome

“When you face fear it evaporates. Shadows cannot stand light. —LeAura Alderson
This quote by LeAura is very true.
And this poem I wrote today is written from one of my true experiences with fear. We must face our fears and when we do they will dissipate.
Shakespeare also said it well:
“Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt.”
(This quote has also helped me to face fears many times in my life.)
Standing
Tall, held up by
The Everlasting Arms of
The Eternal God, Whom is my refuge
And strength
Cinquain
The eternal God is your refuge,
And underneath are the everlasting arms;
Deuteronomy 33:27
