Adjusting to Life's Changes with Hope… Through Poetry, Haiku, and Commentary
when the words
inside won’t
come out or
your dreams
never seem
to come
true
it is
like waiting
for the rain
that never
came
like waiting
for the wind
that failed
to show or
like waiting
for the sun
not to shine
or like the
night that
longs for
day
if only to
try again
hope again
I looked just above
the tallest tree to see
if the clouds were moving
they are floating ever so
slowly to the west while
my thoughts drift along
with them looking forward
to the time when the Lord
returns
because we could meet the
Lord in clouds such as
these on a day like today
when yesterday’s poem
will have been the last one
I ever wrote
a light rain in the
late afternoon cools the air
God’s peace fills the air
greater than faith with
hope is faith without any
hope at all at all
the unexpected
made it a hold your breath kind
of day still holding
we talked in the still
of the sun God listened to
every sigh and cry
the ER waiting
room made a long day longer
and our love heartfelt
if cars could fly you’d
be loose from Opelousas
and back home by now
cook or MacDonald’s
then we’ll settle in and watch
the next Miss Marple
