Lost Love

Something is wrong: what secret are you hiding?
Distance stretches between us long, wide
I can see it in your eyes
Feel it in your voice
All passion has blown away
A tornado spent
Leaving emptiness in its wake
I touch you and you turn away
Your body as cold as stone
My heart breaks
Silence severs two souls who were as one
Now separated by secret things
Is there something I have or have not done?
I wonder as fear spreads
Through my being chilling my bones
Uncertainty, worthlessness envelops me
Loneliness has become my companion
Is someone else receiving what was mine?
I grieve for what was and no longer is
What truths are you hiding from me?
In your heart’s secret place

Meditations

I look at nature around me in awe
A butterfly with its glorious patterns and colours
Tall trees gently swaying in the breeze
A bird collecting worms for its young
The sky with cotton wool clouds stretching up into infinity
And I feel a warmth and peace in my heart
Knowing this is God’s creation.

When I see a fiery sunset in all its splendour
Tall mountains and the wide expanse of the sea
I think of God
In the solitude of a rainforest amongst the shadows and silence
I think of God and feel his presence
How powerful and amazing he is to have created all these things
Even though I am but the tiniest of specks compared to Him
And a miserable sinner, He still loves me and I am humbled

ONE-LINERS

(1) Love is like Pavlova, crisp and delicious on the outside, soft and luscious in the centre: to be consumed with passion.


(2) Little gems of wisdom far outweigh big rocks of advice.

FLY AWAY

If I could fly like Peter Pan
I’d fly away up into the clouds
Where I would visit Angels before
I visited all the wondrous places of the world
First would be the pyramids of Egypt
Where I would sit atop of the largest one
To look down on the desert stretched out before me
Then I would float to Mount Everest
There I would soar like an eagle
To its highest peak and sit in the snow
While I surveyed the labours of mountain climbers
As they seek to reach the summit
I would visit the Eiffel Tower, Venice, Rome
And many other places
Before I glided with the currents
In my quest to find a new world
A land of milk and honey where there are no wars or terrorists
No sorrow, murder or rape, only happiness
Where people love and care for one another
And there I would stay
Yes, I am dreaming but I wish it were true,
If only I could fly away like Peter Pan
To find a world that was paradise.
