Joy is Discovered

April 3, 2011

~

It has been my experience

And I’ve heard thousands whisper

Their deepest desperate hurts –

Light appears in the dark

 

I met love at the bottom

This is a strange paradox

Going down led me upward

A treasure found

 

Life’s pain is like a furnace

The soul is refined by fire

Hope is born in the process

Joy is discovered

 

Why do some understand

And other’s don’t seem to see

I think I have a clue

 

Please consider this

Choose to see that you are great

A joy to behold

Love Pursues

March 12, 2011

True loves pursues you

Wait and love will come to you

Be silent, listen

 

In solitude are treasures

A secret hidden wisdom

Available to seekers

Who learn how to rest

 

I must stop the noise

Hear the calming words of love

Already given

 

You’re my beloved

You’re the apple of my eye

A refreshing drink
