Reaching Serenity

11 March 2006


Special was just the way it is
for this was not love but in kind
A spirit stretched across waters to wake
an understanding reached toward her heart

To want - but not have - her love
denied that feeling of eyes to sea
Her Bethany another place to ponder
the skies a shade only in moonlight

Divided in so many ways
the desire one of strength
Yet would age awaken the truth
given reality unable to walk

To want - but not have - her love
for what was love in her eyes
A surrender away from serenity
an understanding reaching out toward her heart


“I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing
praises unto thee among the nations. For thy mercy is great
above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.”
Psalms 108: 3-4 KJV



a poet who cares
