Pondering The Poetic Heart

Pondering the Poetic Heart is a place to guide our spirits into place of contemplative rest. As a poet, I long to encourage you to find hope and healing through the process of reflecting on God, love, life, and all things that capture the spirit through the written word.

In the month of November, I will lead us through a time of thanksgiving through my 30 Days of Thanksgiving Poems. In December we will ring the bells of Christmas. There will also be other times through the year when we will celebrate love, just for fun poetry, and more. I pray this will be a place of loving contentment for all of us.

Who Am I?

Who Am I?

Who am I
that You would ask me
to paint pictures with words?
Psalms, hymns, spiritual songs,
like the masters of old
and the legends of now.
David with his Psalms
offers more to man
than my weak hand
and John pens Your words
like an ocean’s tides
so, who am I? . . .

All Those What-Ifs

All Those What-Ifs

God’s Word calls us to not worry. To be “anxious for nothing”. When the “what ifs” of life begin rummaging around in our brain, we have a choice to make. We can either worry or we can set our focus on God.

Lead Me, Holy Spirit

Lead Me, Holy Spirit

A quick poem of encouragement to put God first, and let the Holy Spirit be the leader of your heart and life.

Let the Holy Spirit lead
in action, speech and thought
in each decision He must lead the way
through every path that must be trod. ...

Christmas Miracles

Christmas Miracles

And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Luke 2:7...
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
John 1:14

Did you see the sun rise
awakening the day
bringing forth life
in such an extraordinary way

when was the last time
you stared into the night sky
moon and stars playing
twinkling so bright. . .

End of Month Blessings

End of Month Blessings

30 Days of Thanksgiving Poems, Day 30!

Thank you, dear Lord, for this month of blessings
a time to celebrate all You’ve given
some days full of cheer, some full of woe
but always there is something to be thankful for.
And now as we transition to focus on Jesus’s birth
let us not grow weary, let us not go in haste
instead to choose each day to bring each other grace . . .
