    HE IS Elohim, Creator, in the beginning,Spoke the stars into their spinning.Adonai, Lord of all, sovereign might,Guiding us through darkest night.Jehovah Jireh, Provider true,In every need, He sees us through.El Shaddai, Almighty One,Under His wings, the battle’s won.Jehovah Rapha, Healer near,Mending hearts, wiping every tear.El Roi, God who sees,In hidden places, our silent pleas.Jehovah Shalom,…

    SUMMER’S HERE! Grilled corn on the cob, a smoky delightCharred and golden, in the warm summer lightButter drips down, a savory streamEach bite a burst of midsummer dreamAt the BBQ, laughter and cheerGrilled corn whispers, “Summer’s here!”Simona A.

    THE WIND’S WHISPER The wind doth whisper secrets soft and low,Through rustling leaves and in the swaying grass.Its voice, a breath, a murmur’s gentle flow,Reveals the tales of ages that did pass.It whispers of the seas and distant lands,Of mountains high and valleys deep below.Of ancient trees and shifting desert sands,And mysteries the stars alone…

    JUST A DREAM In midnight’s realm where shadows dance and sway,I found myself ensnared in dark’s embrace.A dream, a nightmare, where the light gave way,To realms of terror, where I lost my grace.In twisted alleys of the mind’s abyss,I wandered lost, with fear my constant guide.Each step I took, a plunge into the abyss,Where specters…

    RAINBOW WHISPERS Rainbow whispersA prism spills its secrets Colorful confetti in the skyStretching fingersTickling the cloudsA painter’s brushstroke Gone wildSunlight’s laughter Captured in a curve Dancing with drops of mistInvisible symphonies Played on nature’s harpA fleeting masterpiece Then goneSimona A.

    A Summer Memoir Summer days at Grandma’s, in the countryside,Running wild with cousins, laughter as our guide.Freeze tag in the morning, sprinting through the grass,Mother-May-I’s careful steps, hoping we could pass.Hopscotch outlined in the sand, bare feet and smiles,Red-Light Green-Light challenges, stretching out for miles.Jumping rope in rhythm, songs that never end,Hide-and-seek adventures, around each…

    ROCK & STONE You know it’s time to let go when… The sun doesn’t shine When he smiles And the distance between hearts Is 10,000 miles Of unpaved rock and stone When you are together-alone Sitting side-by-side And the chasm That divides Is 8.8 million fathoms Of yawning hollow A gulf, so deep Dark and…

    A WREN’S TALE Through my window’s silent frame, I spy a pair, not bound by fame, Two wrens, with hearts entwined in flight, Crafting dreams in morning light.With feathers brushed by dawn’s embrace, They dance upon the patio’s grace,In tender union, side by side, They gather twigs, their love a guide.The male, with plumage bold…

    innocence lost In the garden of youth, innocence thrived, A fragile flower, untouched and alive. But time’s cruel hand, with its relentless cost, Steals the innocence, once cherished, now lost.In childhood’s embrace, laughter did ring, Innocence danced on the winds of spring. Yet, shadows lurked where darkness lay, And innocence faltered, fading away.The world’s harsh…

    ENDURE My soul is weak Because there is yet To be found a cure For this darkness That plagues my soul Without respite Morning, noon and night Though my soul is weak I will endure Even if there is no cure Because morning, noon and night I pray for the light To enter my darkened…
