It’s best when
It’s not the hard places
That stand out.

Icy winds gather
Treasures by dumpster
Most will miss

Empty nest
Egg, emptied
Spent on health
Caring not
Whether they
Lose their nest
What matters
Is breathing
Each other

Can’t make sense
Of this list.
Beat and spent.
Ten milk jugs.
Nothing else
In my cart.
Almost done.
Can’t sign check.
Mortified.

Snowflakes on trashcans

Searching for her God,
She captures His signature –
Snowflakes on trashcans

UNTITLED
Pay no mind
when her mind
no longer recognizes you.
Just love,
and repeat.

Eyes to See
Drawing “Dragon’s Den” (with self portrait) by Deanna Marie Metts
To look into another’s eyes
And truly see the soul that cries –
The fear and angst on which it feeds
The love that lost, the heart that bleeds
The expectation that misleads
The loveliness beneath the needs
The strength behind the smallest deeds
The blooms among the choking weeds.
This trampled soul with courage tries
Beyond what meets the eye implies.

Living 1 Thessalonians 5:17

…and on her headstone, “She prayed without ceasing.”
For in the midst of life’s unfettered existence,
serenity comes only while taking His hand,
perpetually strolling the lush garden of prayer.
