The Pit
Although the seasons
Come and go,
I pray that my sobriety
Will constantly grow.
For years on end
I’ve tried to quit,
To pull myself out
Of that deep, dark pit.
It was years ago
When I fell into the trap,
It’s filled with alcohol,
Drugs and crap.
The walls are soaked
With suffering and pain,
The guilt and remorse
Eat away at my brain.
I pulled myself [...]

It is a Sunshine Sunny Sunday
The storm has passed for now.
The green of spring is ‘doing its thing’
As on my knees I bow.
Winter’s pains no longer near
The opening leaves do now appear.
The world is again a wondrous place.
The Sunlight of the Spirit
Conveys God’s Grace.
The Light and Sound
Are dancing in a sacred rhyme
The [...]

The girl’s were getting together to “dish the dirt“
I thought they would be planting seeds or something.
They were.
They were gossiping…seeds of ‘dirt’about another Soul.
When day is done they put our ashes in dirt.
We cleanse our Soul to release the dirt.
We pray.
Do our step work and take the dirt
To our sponsor and release to our Higher [...]

Good Morning World
Is now how I greet the Day.
It is wonderful to be alive

I have a place to rest.
I have friends.
I have laughter.
My life it is the best.
My family has been loving
Even when I put them to the test.
My friends they are [...]

I have the knowledge
Your love teaches me
I have the joy and laughter
I have eternity in this moment
I have a new beginning
I am that which You created me to be
I am happy joyous and free.
I am content with the Fire within.
I do not need to lose or win.
I am not bound
Here on the [...]

Where have they taken the Christ Consciousness
That was so freely given?
Where have they laid the Master
Who walked with me and men?
Where is my Lord in this Moment?
Will I discover Him in the Garden
As was on that first Easter morn?
I would rather not have learned
as the daughter of Magdalene
on the lonely empty street.
But I did.
Now I [...]

I worry
I wander
I forget to hear your Voice.
I fret
I stew
I forget to Rejoice.
In the madness of illness
I am doing my will
I forget to listen
I forget to be still
I forgot to pray
to be open to your blessings
I am stubborn and sick
full of second guessing.
The illness will pass
I will make it through
when I learn the lesson
behind this [...]
