D ancing in the rain
A nd twirling all around,
N othing can stop this feeling of
C ircling
I ndefinitely, puddles beneath our feet.
N ever letting go as we dart across the
G round.
I nconsiderate of our soaking socks,
N ot caring to use an umbrella
T he sun has
H id its face, but the fun has just begun beneath the
E ver-watchful eyes on the droplets splattering down
R unning, racing, splashing...
Hope is the bridge
Betwixt joy and despair.
The thread that keeps us afloat
When our lives are laid bare.
Hope is the anchor
Holding wanderers steadfast.
With chains of mercy
And a gentle grasp.
Hope is the lifeline
We cling to in sorrows,
When we are uncertain
What will come of tomorrow.
Hope is a Person,
God in the flesh.
Our Savior and King
In mercy dressed....
"Well, girl?" Sigmond hissed, his black eyes drawing to slits.
I swallowed hard. My gaze fell upon the young mother, her face wraught with a mixture of concerned hope and anxious anticipation. I pried my eyes away from the sleeping infant in her arms.
"The child will live for fives years and fourteen days." I said. I dared a glance at the mother and instantly regretted it. Her expression...
A love so unconditional,
One I didn't deserve to know.
Yet you gave your life for mine,
And washed me white as snow.
Love against all odds
Is the love that rescued me.
The one that reached my heart
When I had thrown away the key.
A love so vibrant and wild
That drew me from the shadows
A grace that knew no bounds
As it saved me from the gallows.
A love so unconditional,
One I didn't deserve to ...
Why does life
Happen in seasons?
Why can't it
Ever stay the same?
Why are you
Here and gone tomorrow,
An endless
Cycle in a mournful game?
The good times
Never seem to last.
The days
Are slowly fading.
Here one
Moment, gone the next.
We can't
Stop this wicked aging.
Why does
It all have to happen
So fast?
My head has started to spin.
Relationships
Should be built to last,
So why
Are they fra...
I ruffled the scarlet skirts clinging to my ankles and sucked another painstaking breath.
Corsets truly weren't for the faint of heart.
"I need eyes, Harrison," I grumbled. "Get me to the case so I can swap the codes and get out of this blasted place."
Harrison's amused snort crackled through my earpiece. "What, you aren't cut out for the fancy life?"
"Not funny."
"Okay, o...
I learned to live behind a mask,
Hiding all my feelings.
Force a smile, and if they ask,
Pretend I'm not still reeling.
I learned to live unlike myself,
Bending to every wish.
Fading, but you could never tell.
Was it worth the risk?
I learned to live with all formality,
Playing my part with ease.
Slowly, painfully, I forgot reality.
Who was I supposed to be?
I learned to live a dangerous lie,
W...
"Hang on, just hang on. I'll get you out of here, I promise." Colton West called to the woman at his side over the roar of devouring flames.
He'd already placed his helmet on her head, and was now covering his own as they rushed around and between fallen wooden beams consumed by the blaze.
Daylight appeared as a pinprick in the next room. Colton stopped.
"What are we doing?" The woman's voice w...
It seems like yesterday
That I first met you
Joyful, full of life,
Carefree and humble.
The more I learned of you,
The more awed I became,
Who was this girl
That smiled through her pain?
The doctors said terminal,
You simply shrugged it off.
Kept on living to the fullest,
Cherishing every moment.
No one could've guessed
That your life was slowly fading,
For you smiled ever-still,
We all kept ho...
The darkness is heavy,
The light is scarce,
Yet hope glows
In two scarred hands.
The darkness is deep,
The light is a flicker,
Yet peace shines
In His pierced side.
The darkness is dangerous,
The light hard to reach,
Yet safety lies
In His arms stretched wide.
The darkness is heavy,
But it has not won,
For light still shines
In God's only Son.
He vanquished the darkness,
He defeated the grave....
