Spring Cleaning

I have been cleaning my computer, not my house.  Deleting, moving, and re-visiting older poems and tidbits of life.  No commentary today, only three poems,  heartfelt when written, but forgotten because they were saved in the wrong place!  

Cleaning House

As I cleanse my heart,

I open my soul for more.

As I cleanse my mind,

I open my life to receive.

As I cleanse, as I pray,

I am ready for the Divine.

I am grateful

And ready for the grace of God.

Hello Stranger

I am learning to welcome,

the stranger.

Who knocks on my door daily,

               and I slam the door

               harder each time.

I take a deep breath,

               and say, “Come on in”.

I know I will face

the lows and darkness

within me.

I take another breath,

               and show this stranger

               hospitality, love, and grace.

As God does.

Holy Connections

I see Holiness

in excited brown eyes

enticing me to play.

I see Holiness

in a child who

struggles with his words.

I see Holiness

in plants growing and plants dying.

I see Holiness

in warm socks and purple pens.

I see Holiness

in me, in you, each breath,

each hug, each weathered and worn heart.

The Holy Connections

All created by God.
