The dark cloud

The dark cloud above your head holds you back,

It stems your flow,

It zaps your energy

And never let's go.

Until one day you see the brightest light,

A ray of hope and a view in sight,

That pierces the dark cloud and burns it away,

Enabling you to see a new and joyful way.

The passion you hold is the key,

The passion pierces the darkness with energy,

Mental energy that forever exists,

Outlives the body and it insists,

It insists with the powerful force of delight,

It insists with the courage to take risks and act,

Which gives true confidence and that is a fact.

The powerful force of delight is the burning passion inside,

It never fades, never dwindles,

It's a flame that flickers and excites, it beats away despair and gloom, future fear and imminent doom, depression is a tiny thing of the past and your future is a burning bright light at last.

The dark cloud has gone,

You have overcome adversity and fear does not control your thinking,

You are the master and you hold the key,

That unlocks the light of energy! 

The face of love

Alone under the stars

I think of everything. 

I theorise, summise, I intellectualise and I'm surprised at what I think. 

But, then I cry and I pray. 

I'm no longer alone here on Earth. 

The stars forge as one showing the face of love. 

The darkness around is dark, but the light from the stars hits me like a bolt from a thunder cloud. 

Despair no more, they say

Despair no more, 

You cannot touch me you pitiful one, I have light in my eyes encapsulating my entire frame, and I'm held close like a child. 

My depth was a kaleidoscope of intensity, now a light from above changes all that, 

My focus is your face, 

Your face always ahead of me, 

All this thinking doesn't matter, 

I'm a child, I see and feel what matters, and I know. 

My feet will stay here now, 

My eyes too, 

Focused on the entirety of what matters. 

And what matters my dear beloved, 

What matters, 

Is the face of love,

...and a smile on my face. 

I wonder

I wonder at the wind blowing wildflower in fields, I look and see

the radiant Sun and sumptuous sky,

such beauty exists and I wonder why. 

I wonder why people say great things and have pretty thoughts, why smiling is contagious and laughter the best medicine, how connections we make through God just happen. 

I wonder how faith makes us stronger, stronger still through darker times and grateful in times of blissful light. 

I can wonder all I like, as the truth is faith is exceedingly beautiful, and wonderment comes with the mystery. 

I look at tiny things with the curiosity of a child and feel awe at the immensity of Christ's power, then I feel His hand touch my shoulder, my friend The Creator, and I weep with a grateful heart. 

Such love and comfort through the entirety of life, 

He always shows mercy, 

Always forgives, 

Always loves. 

I always wonder as the wonderful is Him, of Him and with Him. He makes life beautiful, so such wondering will never cease and my joy for life will never end.
