"Let the God in you speak to the you he created and be  yourself."

Shirley Lee Johnson

My poetry should cause you to utilize two modes of the mind or ways of thinking. It should touch your reasoning ability and or your imagination. You should think from a logical perspective, yeah, this makes sense and at, other times, realize that I was just being creative with the poem's design.  My poems should evoke an awareness of God in you, our Abba Father, as you read them, especially the ones from everyday occurrences in our lives. Some may just be me on my soapbox, and others may be by inspiration. But you should be able to sense God's hands somewhere in each.

 

I pray that you find much joy, comfort, encouragement and enlightenment as you partake of the goodness that has been given to me.

Poem of the Month

Weary Yellow Rose

weary yellow rose

dangling on the vine

on such a drear

and cloudy day

gentle raindrops falling

resting on your petals

but the yellow rose stands bright

like liquid sunshine

as she poses against the backdrop

of all the shades of gray

bending her head under

the weight of the water

as the rain continues to fall

 

weary yellow rose

bent but not broken

still connected to its source

giving hope to all that sees her

still flourishing

still shining

as if she has been

kissed by the sun

shining in the midst

My weary yellow rose
