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 One I allow to see me
The One who hears me cry
The One who always loves me
The One who never asks why.
The One who walks beside me
When other friends have gone.
The One who can forgive me
For all the things I have done wrong.
The One who lives within me.
The One who fills the void.
The One [...]

He said his father died
Two hours before the meeting.
(I know that if my Father had just died that
I would not have had the strength to be at a meeting.)
I caught my breath.
I could not breathe.
(I heard another voice saying
“Your Father has just died.”)
I am not in that place that I need

Tennesse Ernie Ford once sang
“E’er you left your room
this morning, did you stop to pray?”
Now, as I arise and surrender
I am asking the Master to lead the way.
With out this guidance and direction
I will not experience the resurrection.
The spiritual awakening
Allows me to be happy, joyous, and free.
Join me in the Higher Power Hour
It takes only the [...]

“Upon Awakening
Soul will be free.”
That is the promise that was given to me.
I was a child sitting in church
What did I know?
I knew of the wondrous things.
I lived in the moment.
I heard angels sing
I was told to sit still,
I wanted to move,
I wanted to dance,
I wanted to laugh,
I was told to be quiet.
I was angry [...]

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 [...]
