Easter’s Grace II

Once some several years ago
In hallowed ground near here
I bowed and offered humber prayer
the beach and sea quite near
A little chapel on the shore
at Easter time at home
with crown of thorns up on the wall
for people to atone
And now as then on Saturday
the sun becomes the son
as at Easter his forgiveness
is complete for everyone

FAR AWAY – BUT ALWAYS BONDED

By Nichole Sulpizio And Charles Robert Lindholm

Far Away
He Was

Feeling Her Heart Break
Listening To Her Sobbing

Wondering How To Ease Her Pain
And Kiss Her Tears Away

Guidelines for Confession

“Wait for that wisest of all counselores, Time.” 
― Pericles

They say confessions
can absolve you
They can make you pure.
You will be pristine
as the seraphic soul.

A Prayer to Mother (for Mom)

Mother
Open my soul to the music of the wind.

“The Virgin Mother
Blesses you
Carries you
Supports you
Feel her golden gaze.
One breath

Pray palms, pray pines
Pond, pelican, pink plumes
Ponder plaintive pebbles
Ponder pensive parrots
Psalms, prophecies, peace,

HAIKU: REQUESTING PATIENCE

By Charles Robert Lindholm

Requesting patience

Lord, I Need You

I’ve failed again. Lord, please forgive.
I’m dying, yet I want to live.

Prayer (haiku)

Soft wind stirs the trees
makes the branches bend and bow
in holy reverence

I Thirst

Dear Father,
I have tasted of the world’s wine,
And yet I thirst;
I have gorged myself on earth’s pleasures,
And yet I hunger.

A FITTING SYMBOL

By Charles Robert Lindholm

A helium balloon

rising in the air

a fitting symbol

for a heartfelt prayer

Monster Noises

My foot pounds hard upon the floor.
A hand grabs on the bedroom door.
The voice says low, “The monster’s here!”
There’s scrambling feet and giggling fear.

Matins

.

Whispers in the mists of morn

Sing Lilting Praise

Upon the wind are bourn

Rapturous glimmers of refracting gold

Saying “I Love You”

Hugging in the morning,

Kissing at night.

Saying, I love you, before

Saying, good night.

Autumm’s Restful Wold

 

You swept away all my fears.

Angel

I had a secret question.

I couldn’t talk to anyone.

I asked for an angel to come to my rescue.

To my surprise, he arrived in disguise.

Somebody’s Praying

 

THE LORD IS NEAR TO ALL THOSE WHO CALL UPON HIM! TO ALL WHO CALL ON HIM IN TRUTH! ” PSALM 145:18

Deuteronomy 4:29  “But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find Him if you seek Him with all your heart and with all your soul.”

While Starlight Plays – NaPoWriMo

.

In the Calm of the Lavender Light,

Beyond the frenetic rush of day,

In the Softness that Soothes my fright,

His Mighty Hand

 

Every time I think of you I say a little prayer,

Hoping the very best for you it’s my way to show I care.

So many times I pray for you to be happy and blessed

Knowing God is leading you upon a bold new quest.

Pools of the Mind

Breaths Sighing Softly, Heartbeat Lilting;

Window to the Soul closed to darkness,

Palms Open to Caress the Heavens.

God Knows Your Name

God Knows Your Name

 

You cannot telling by looking if their heart is broken

You cannot tell by hearing their tearful words unspoken.

But if you get on your knees to kneel

Pray for broken hearts He can surely help to heal.

The New Year Prayer

These prayers I send
as birds into the sky
Gentle, as flowers bend
to lift clouds from the eye

~ Charleston’s Mother

~ Charleston’s Mother
Steeped in tradition

A foundation built on defiance

Rock by rock, stone, by stone

Blood, sweat and tears

A people pulling together

Uniting in the quest of equality

The chalice of their dreams
Burnt, but not destroyed

Faith and perseverance

Raised the walls, bar higher

~ Restoration ~

Holy, this silence
this yearned for
moment in time

neath star shine
crisp air
filling lungs

Forever

He held her hand feeling every breath she took
She watched him intently, a tender caring look
Machines, wires, tubes and sounds faded away
These moments held everything they had to say.

A Different Prayer

may I admire deep without wanting
may happiness be without having
may love sustain without wishing
may heart pour joy without calculating
