A Moment

ever soft, this dark night of the soul
lonely hearts caught in the crossfire
as dancing demons take their toll

Child of God

Child Of God

– Linda Lee Lyberg

 

In truth, you cannot own a child of God

Even if they appear to be perfection

In truth, all people and souls are flawed.

Villanelle of Christ

Great Redeemer is His name
Walked on earth so long ago
Age to age He’s still the same

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.

Old Things New

Villanelle

For growth in Christ, this must ensue:
A metamorphosis within,
That all things old may be made new.

Moon Kiss

Moon Kiss

-Linda Lee Lyberg

When the moon kisses the sea

The waters are peacefully still

And night becomes so bright.

Resolution

Haunted by this uncertain feeling

I dream of running, running away

Visions of another life, revealing

Stars

 

Oh love, reach for my hand and heart;
lay me down on this earthen bliss–
swear forever under the stars.

Giving Advice – a villanelle

iliketoquote.com

Is it right to try to comfort someone else
When you hear of the hurt they are feeling
Especially if it is something you deal with.

Who We Are – a villanelle

It isn’t easy to change who we are
We all have to make choices in life
But we have to know what we want.

Every Breath – a villanelle

Hadn’t tried one for a while, so maybe the mind will let it flow…

With each breath that we take
Life flows, memories are made
We realize our own mortality.

Questioning Mind – a villanelle

If this was to be your last day on earth
And you could send out only one message
Would those special to you know you cared.

Remember – a villanelle

No matter what you are feeling
If you remember a loved ones eyes
Smile and remember, you are alive.

There are days when we always wonder
Could the days get better than today
No matter what you are feeling.

Poetical Contender

A thought inspired gives birth to form
Images follow and the pen begins to quiver
Writing flows forth with rhyming transform
Sonnet, villanelle or a couplet sliver
 
A need for expression with lyrical feel
Profound emotions in succinct detail
Straight from the heart it emerges real
From strong and savage to delicate and frail
