Marching On. . . 21st Century Love During a Time of Violence: Wayne & Sabrina (12)
As she did often as a young teen
hidden behind sheers on a window seat
with her image mirrored back in tragic sheen
because of rainy darkness
against its cool pane her forehead did lean
as she reread words written about Wayne
that in reality she didn’t always mean.
Although, today as she rubbed her growing belly
she wondered whether her decisions were actually based
upon a foolish heart
rather than wisdom gleaned:
Through Stitches

where will I end
after tripping on this spin
between black anger then love
bouncing me wrong back to you
again
my heart
head hazy
crazy within
when will it stop
pulsating drip drop
heartbeats
not
flipping-to-flop
with questions brutal
not cropped
heat comes till it goes
just appears when it knows
as harsh winter with snow
flakes bitter wet as they blow
then spring peaks brief around
birds singing sweet sounds
still no laughter for clowns
and no liquor to drown
so today I’ll begin
to finish
this circling trend
of reality’s pretend
true love
to vigorously
defend
my search
still rolling
me forward
you
tossed as brash trash
upon emotion’s highway
whipping my ride
now safe and sound
round
its
wondrous bends

A morning sun began to peak
over houses scattered across her street.
She put down her journal
then began to seek
a higher mind;
into his Word to more than peek
to eliminate a haze of late.
To grant her strength. For she felt weak.
So through her tablet she did scroll
for wisdom for an eternity was her goal:
“There is gold, also much coral,
But the lips of knowledge
are something precious.” Prov. 20:15.
“The law that you have proclaimed is good for me,
More so than thousands of pieces of gold and silver.” Ps. 119:72.
“Happy is the man who finds wisdom
And the man who acquires discernment;
To gain it is better than gaining silver,
And having it as profit is better than having gold.
It is more precious than corals;
Nothing you desire can compare to it.” Prov. 3:13-15.
“They are more desirable than gold,
Than much fine gold,
And sweeter than honey,
the honey that drips from the combs.” Ps. 19:10.
“It cannot be bought with pure gold;
Nor can silver be weighed out in exchange for it.” Job 28:15.
“Coral and crystal are not worthy of mention,
For a bagful of wisdom is worth more than one full of pearls.” Job 28:18.
***
“The law of Jehovah is perfect,
restoring strength.
The reminder of Jehovah is trustworthy,
making the inexperienced one wise.” Ps. 19:7.
***
With gained strength of eagle’s wings
Sabrina did rise
for loving words
from her Father comprised
enabled her to realize
that you live one day at a time,
but have in mind a goal or purpose
to attain.
Then peaks and valleys
through one’s life
you can endure
without disdain…
***
“A man may plot out his course in his heart,
But it is Jehovah who directs his steps.’
***
“I take the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you today that I have put life and death before you,
the blessing and the curse;
and you must choose life so that you may live,
you and your descendants,
by loving Jehovah your God,
by listening to his voice,
and by sticking to him,
for he is your life
and by him you will endure a long time in”
this land. Deut. 30:19, 20.
“The righteous will possess the earth,
And they will live forever on it.” Ps. 37:29.
***
“Now if it seems bad to you to serve Jehovah,
choose for yourselves today whom you will serve”. Joshua 24:15… To Be Cont’d.
