Echo They THE WAY

the many moods and hues of expression
words to reflect the wondrous gifts of BEING
words to convey a heartfelt plea for change
words of love, peace and beauty abound
words of faith and glory to be found
words of PRAISE for victory there shall be
words of grace, care and fulfilled destiny
be there words words this very day
within our soul echo they THE WAY
words of scripture to deeply behold
words of history of quest be ever told
be there ONE word triumphant and sublime
'tis the WORD the WORD of The Divine.

Within Folds

enveloped in layers of thought am I
embraced within folds of the Word divine
a bud, a flower, a pulsing of this heart
brush stokes and knowing has its start
colors, tones, shades and hues, bright and bold
within each brush stroke cradled, a story be told.
