12/10 - Progression

Personal progression is one thing.
Encouraging it is another.
But its occurrence is equally enticing
And similarly satisfying.

12/9 - She Spoke

She spoke for one thousand and one nights.
What if her voice gave out at one thousand?

Then she would dance.

8/22 - Untitled

For the ones who forget, God becomes a silence, a void that they only know must be filled but they cannot discover with what.

12/7 - Naked

I looked at myself
with my own eyes
And yet I saw with yours.
I saw with Love.
One who is beautiful.
Not perfect,
but lacking flaw.

I love you.

12/8 - O Come Emmanuel

O come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appears.

Rejoice, rejoice,
Emmanuel
Shall come to thee,
O Israel.

Tis a season
of waiting,
watching,
hoping
for the sunlight to
break through
the grey;
for the bright lights
to shine
in the night,
sparking joy in hearts;
for the
Light of the World
to re-kindle kindness and compassion
in the souls of the lost,
the weary,
and the broken,
reminding us of our
humanity -
our connection to one another.

O come, Emmanuel.

12/5 - Window Light

Dust
floats in the window light,
caressed by the gentle morning;

it's too early.

But the warmth
of your skin
stirs my heart and my smile

the way the
air currents stir the
dust.

12/4 - Looking Forward

Just two more Fridays,
I was thinking.
We will make it.

(And we did).
