The Silver Cord

The Silver Cord

-Linda Lee Lyberg

My soul

Though tethered here

Drifts into the night sky

Bound to my body by a silver cord

WORD FLOW

By Charles Robert Lindholm

 

deficit spending

causes cash flow problems

no money in the bank

Visible

Silent now, this moment’s pause, bathed in ochre’s tinge of red,
revealing histories’ flaxen stitch, stretched through pin pricks long since bled.
Day lies still around me, ‘cross rustic echoes this past enfolds,
suspends my eye along the line where every memory’s story is told.

Therein Within My Soul

Therein Within My Soul

-Linda Lee Lyberg

Therein within my soul

Are lives and loves mislaid

With memories from long ago.

LIGHTENING ROD

By Charles Robert Lindholm 

I don’t really understand it

this gift or curse from God

The Veil

The Veil

-Linda Lee Lyberg

The veil between this life you see

And that of immortality

Is as thin as paper if you believe

There is more to this reality

contained

she brought me words in ceramic
all polished and glistening,

Shining Soul

Shining Soul

-Linda Lee Lyberg

 Each day I sit and write

With pen upon blank paper

Searching the hidden recesses

Of my lovely capricious mind.

ANY EXCUSE

By Charles Robert Lindholm

Any Excuse

to write

a poem

is a good one

Isn’t it?

London

Sirens. Busses. Polluted air

Millions of strangers, none of whom care.

 

Hard-faced ladies. Unloving boys

Dirt. Construction. Non-stop noise.

Unexpected Appointments Divine

People are searching for peace and fulfillment.  In my opinion, there is only one place from which peace comes and that is from reading the Word at the Father’s feet.  “In the presence of Jehovah, God Almighty, Prince of Peace.  Troubles vanish, hearts are mended, in the presence of the King.” This line is from a song sung by Damaris

Hair like fire, heart like ice
Wise wary woman

The backside of the night

At the backside of the night
I gave in, got up and then
tippy-toeing down the stairs
grabbed my book and pen

To Live As Tree

.

How Lovely it would be to Live as Tree,

Silvery in Shimmering Moonglow,

The Blank Page

Awoke to a new day sunrise
like a blank page in a book
And with my pen there poised and ready
paused for a lingering look

Under the Trees

Under the trees fallen leaves

dance to please the wind

blowing through the grass

God is…

 

   

When the storm clouds are all around me, and there seems no place to hide

My soul cries out to Jehovah God and I reach deep down inside.

For it is deep inside my soul I find provision everlasting

Knowing Jehovah Jireh is always ready to provide.

Cord of Three (Valentine Challenge)

Poetry challenge: Valentines poem

.

Ruth 1:16  “And Ruth said, Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest I will go: and where thou lodgest I will lodge; thy people shall be my people , and thy God my God.”

(Happy Valentine’s Day, my love!)

A Cord of Three

Looking back through the years

Through the laughter and the tears,

Standing forever by my side

Standing together, husband and bride.

Fair Season

.

Shall I Sing in Sweetest Clamor
Harkening Thee to The Glory of Day?
Shall I Listen to the Lark’s Pure Chatter,
Spinning Gold From Flaxen hay?
Shall I Weave this Tapestry

Writing

A problem that we poets face
with discomfort and malaise
Is to not feel much like writing
for days and days and days
But then all of a sudden
something will inspire
And then not much can stop us
as we really are on fire

Walls and Bridges

Horizons awaken
and to get there from here one must see

Art for my sake

Brush in hand
I decide on the first stroke
Relieved to have got this far
Having chosen what to paint

What Do You See?

What do you see?

When life gets so tough…

To the point that you’ve had enough,

Do you see someone worthless, without a dream?

Do you see yourselves as hopeless beings?

Life is a Breath

.

Life is a Breath
cast upon a writhing sea
foaming breakers churning in the din
as the Last Breath Lingers
Before it Begins

New Old Friends

by debbie

                      

5 years ago last night my best friend had an aneurysm in her lung and passed away at 61. You just can’t go out and meet OLD Friends

Free

 

Throw your fears away!

Their truths. Your lies.

Renewable Vow

I was 21 when I took the official vows,
but had really taken the important ones
some months earlier. When I proposed
on April Fools Day and she said ‘yes.’
And like two fools,
we thought that was just fine.
Turns out, nearly 50 years later, it was.

A question, in advance

It sings itself, doesn’t it?
the song about love and hope-
the one about couples, and snowfall and candles
familiar lyrics and trope.
