All things good and beautiful come from God. You are not alone. He loves us endlessly. Pink Sunrise On the shores of uncertainty Doubt creeps in. I am unlovable, a pain. Melt my hardened heart. Burn away the darkness and See through the tears. I want to be with you forever, Beyond this veil in…
Reality In The Mind
Reality In The Mind Angel of death, my dear friend,You have always lingered near.Sometime after flying,After soaring through a starry night,I rest with you, so that I may sleep asConsuming fire is dimmedTo the tone of candle light.

Swinging On Stars Swings on diamond stars Swing back and forth through heaven Glowing orbs float by Krystal Smith
Guácharo
This poem illustrates the umwelt (sensory or perceptual world of an animal) of the oilbird. The oilbird is a cute bird with an owl-like face.

The Kraken Below the thunders of the upper deep;Far far beneath in the abysmal sea,His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleepThe Kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlights fleeAbout his shadowy sides; above him swellHuge sponges of millennial growth and height;And far away into the…

Without a Place and With a Place

The worldwill therefore clarify…
