Stepping out from the shadows...
Giving my poetry blog another try after almost a year of reflection. If you've ever started a blog, I'm sure you understand. It takes a lot of faith and optimism to keep anything going. Oh yeah, and determination. I was inspired by this article to step out there again, and Sue Donaldson, a beloved blogger. Thank you. I published a poetry book and I'm one of the few who have ever read it. So onward into the internet.
I'll start again here with something short and sweet - about the way we can feel when realizing our place in the scope of time, history, the Bible even, and the internet. But please don't forget that God is good.
Among My Ancestors
Bury me, Lord, here among my ancestors,
lay me down like a page within your volumes,
write down my cries of life upon the silent paper,
then bind and shelve me here within our tombs.
since my dear folks went to glory both this year, this was a poignant poem. thanks, christiane
