Joy is Discovered

~
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
