Word Paintings I have found or created

      Word painters are brave souls. You release so much of yourself for an audience to read and criticize.
      You are about to enter an anthology of bravery...

      SNOWFALL
      On a lonely night
      With the moon up high
      And snowflakes
      Falling silently
      I watch
      As the world transforms
      Gray and black
      Disappear under a layer
      Of fresh dreams
      Drifting from the sky
      Until the glare
      Of new hope
      Reflects brightly
      Into my eyes
      And the coming dawn
      Can be faced
      With courage

      I put my hand in yours...
      ..and together we can do what
      we never could alone!
      No longer is there a sense of
      hopelessness, no longer must
      we depend upon our own
      unsteady will power.
      We are all together now.
      Reaching out our hands for
      power and strength greater than
      ours as we join hands, we
      find love, and understanding
      beyond our wildest dreams.

      Sadness Moon
      She sits high above watching our every turn.
      Her pale body shimmers in contrast with the dark
       Her eyes full of sorrow
      Oh sweet moon why do you cry?
       A reply was a moment in the shadows
      Of which only her light led.
      There were babies crying
      Mommies denying
      Daddies climbing into the wrong beds.
      There were nice girls unthinking
      Drinking away their virginity.
      Women being surrendered.
      Demons dancing in joy around burning life.
      Catholics lighting hopes with hollow light.
      Police turning away,
      And with all of this...
      There was no hero to save the day.
      Oh, moon to finally see
      Tears fall down my cheeks
      Your round body shimmering to bring some light.
      What am I to do?
      I certainly no hero
      Her reply was clear
      My dear.. remember  watch  and  listen
      Let the Lord lead your life!!

      Ages Ago Eternity
      Miles away
      Ages ago
      I said something.
      They were not just syllables
      They were not just scratches on paper.
      Because sounds can be forgotten
      paper can be burned
      I etched you in my heart
      I took my place next to your son
      Those things I said Lord
      They meant forever
      Lasting forever
      Starting forever
      I really do love you
       Only because of you
       Only for you
      Miles away
       Ages ago
      Forever in eternity

      Spring
       Through so many winters nights.
      I sat withering
      Too tired to Love
      Too afraid to speak
      Too fed up to pray
      I was dieing!
      Snow covered me.
      I was bound for the ground.
      You sent me a buoy
      Light that directed me
      I was still afraid
      I stayed blind
      I stayed lost
      Still bound for the ground
      You shined another light for me
      This time I listened
      This time I forgave
      This time I cried
      This time I cared!
      Now I sit in your spring air!
      A seedling for your truths
      The green grass tickles my legs
      The clouds wisp past
      My dreamy eyes watching
       My hair sparkling in sunlight
      My love growing each day
       My praise shouting your name!!
      It is time
      You have told me Lord
      That I  become a buoy of Light
      To share Your wonderful Spring and Might!
      To save others from the cold ground!
