Forgotten, I greeted you from the remembrances.
My home hollowed from wealth, ready to entertain kings and demons.
You crossed the unclean threshold of my grave, your royal robes billowing in the sea sworn breeze.
A crown, only seen by our eyes, testifies to us who you are.
Naked, we claw with rocks at vulnerable flesh, mutilating your earthly jewel.
We’ll make you unrecognizable too. Flesh out God.
Forsaken
Forsaken
I scream for
release from day and night horror. While they cried out to
remain fast.
I was a scarred lamb within, and
a roaring lion without.
Mighty Samson would not tame we beating beasts.
But You, the Son of God, entered my tomb and knocked
the breath out of me.
What man chained you commanded freed.
Clothed in righteousness, I now cling to you.
A demoniac commissioned to share the truth of your
love for mankind.

Turning the Page on Suicide—Studying despair and God’s response
Read Matthew 8 https://www.chirpapp.com/audiopost/apND85dNzR
Darkness drapes
 like a thick silence
smothering thought and action
until dawn’s cheeks pink and stretch new light.
Many of you know how much I adore Haiku, so I was excited to discover a new form called
Write a Sidlak and post your link in the comments.
Chubby toes, arms flailing
in awkward desperation as I cradle your
squirmy body close to nurse. I
trace your smooth face and earnestly search for
traits of your father.
Maybe it is your deep gaze that causes my soul to long
for things this world cannot offer.
Or the gentle coos of Word made flesh.
There is so much more
To you than I understood.
I am shaped in your image. And yet you grew in mine.
Your presence is truly
too substantial for me to carry and
so close I can snuggle the cheek of God.
Turning the Page on Suicide-The Best Gift this Christmas is Choosing Life
Read Romans 8 https://www.chirpapp.com/audiopost/WYKQekOKBy
You may feel surrounded by darkness. Turn the Page and discover what God is capable of doing through you.
I had never tried my hand at flash fiction, but as a poet, I realized that telling a full story in a few words was very similar. I submitted my first story to 101 words and they published Gracious Host. Are you up for the challenge?
Your bones feel picked dry of hope,
yet still,
truth echoes in the souls you touch.

Turning the Page on Suicide-It Takes More than a Whisper
www.lookwide.com/audiopost/BdKy6pWNwZ
I hang fragile memories
on a fragrant tree, while Silent Night
sings lullabies of human
understanding. And I
wonder–What is Christmas
like in heaven?
Does the soft glow of windowed candles
flicker for us in prayer, while carolers
harmonize glory hymns to the
Holy One? Do angelic hosts gaze down
upon star topped heavens and
praise God for creation?
God, do you laugh deeply as you watch a soul
unwrap heaven like an eager child? Their eyes wide with
wonder as they experience first sounds, vibrant colors.
and run their fingers over the texture of your love.
Are we your present, your delight?
