To the carpenters first son, Hopelessness’ bane

For in foundations-deep this bane resides, From it our sight he brewed.  A Lion's den, a burning furnace,  An affirmation to this infinity I see. With the last of my embryonic fear  Shedding in grace's mighty embrace, Like a parting sea, a prodigal racing to his father, I see hope erupting in violent splatters. Nehemiah …

On Days Like this…

For in menace this abode resides,I have been pulled under once or twiceAs the tide rises. Maybe more or not,For I have lost count. I am above the waters, I like to think,An inch or two, you would find my chin.I sway in uncertain rhythm,As I paddle my limbs and hope not for the waves. …

Believe.

I do sometimes no pretence, But listen child, even in an arid Desert Oasis exist. ©LifeasChristy . . "I always search for the Hope in seemingly Hopeless situations however hard, …

LIGHT STILL SHINES

​Downcast in doubts shadow?  Look up Litters of blue hope Arrays the day Good news they say  Not so far away Till a little,turn the soil Deep down they say  Is where gold lives Hold the rein, just a little tighter The picture is nearer Than when you first began Downcast in doubts shadow?  Look …

Maybe
