Harvest

Hushed under sky's mantle,
beasts, birds, golden stalks,
meadows and hills waiting,
ripe for harvest, Creation calls.

Blowing and sifting the wheat from the chaff,
forged in Truth's furnace, the sickle sways,
the weed burns, the wheat...

Sunset

Sunset in Summer
is filled with exotic wonder.
Watching it, carries me
on celestial wings far and above.
And the sun lingers,
as if in regret-- to unwillingly set.

Establised

Life empowers him to be
pure, whole, forever...

Risen

No more does darkness creep,
reigns not a gloom in heart
but light and heaven's glory
illuminate a path.

In Spring the buds await
the sun's first golden glow,
may we at Easter celebrate
resurrection, new-born hope.

A full abundant life,...

This poem speaks in a deepest way to every "invisible child" including myself.
It takes a lot of courage in adulthood not only to admit that we have been "small" in the eyes of our parents but to decide to "grow" in our own eyes.
I loved the clarity and simplicity of your words, powerful, direct , light in the darkness. Thank you .
