The bed of this pond is covered
with stones and yet the pond is still.
The surface reflects secrets of
each ripple made from a cast stone.
Did You think that your stone would not
cause a ripple? The tiniest of stones do!
How many stones were yours? Laying
silently beneath the surface, next to so
many others that caused a ripple too?
A ripple that can still be seen in your eyes,
still heard in your words, spreading
widely beyond the stillness of this pond.
Let the secrets rest on the water's edge...
or jump in over your head, and gather
up all of the stones you cast, for this
pond was not meant to reflect You!

'Willows Song'
Through timeless wind across the land
This sweet melody flows with ease
A rhythm of life's song catches my eyes
As it sings from within the swaying trees
Beautiful shapes dance in shadows below
As sunlight touches the willows leaves
My heart fills with natures soothing song
As it sings from within the swaying trees
Eyes now closed I bask in the music that plays
Springs gift touches me in a soft gentle breeze
With each breath the sweetness lingers...
As it sings from within the swaying trees-

'Guardian Angel'
Clouds pass slowly on this bleak dark day,
puddles reflecting back the sorrow the pain.
A babies cry is a distant sound...
echoing loudly in the hollows of a mothers mind.
A touch to her face but she knows no one is there,
she opens her eyes and throught the tears an angel appears...
A brilliant light pushes the darkness away,
the angel smiles and shows what she holds dearly in her arms,
the mother looks upon a beautiful sleeping baby...
then the angel turns and slowly walks away.
Each time the angel visits she brings with her this child,
over time the mothers tears turn to tears of joy,
for now she knows her child is in the greatest of care.
The last time the angel appears she has tears in her eyes,
she smiles and in her angelic voice these are the words she spoke:
My child, I have watched over you throughout your long life,
now the time has come for you to be reunited,
here, in the kingdom of the Lord;
where your mother has awaited your arrival with open arms,
since long ago, on the day that you were born-
