Beauty amidst the darkness

March 28, 2020March 28, 2020 / jamesrneal / 2 Comments

Tammy and I took a long walk today. Amid all the darkness and dark news we found beauty. Beauty cast into the world by God for us to enjoy. Take some time today to bask in the beauty of Creation. LightFear comes in darknessBut light from God fails us notLight dispels darkness

In time

Man's hands build skyward / Claiming permanence with pride /  Time waits with laughter

Let go

Death's grip clings to past / Mourning now all we must lose /  Blind to all we gain

Turn

October 21, 2017 / jamesrneal / Leave a comment

Turning either way / Work begins beyond your curves / Hands turn to purpose

Barred

October 20, 2017 / jamesrneal / 2 Comments

Tomorrow speaks lies / Barring us from inner peace / While yesterday haunts
