Beautiful

March 14-16th This poem is about seeing beauty in a new way. The Jane in the poem refers to Jane Goodall,a women I love for many reasons. She makes life beautiful. This is a throwback to an old poem style I used to do. Use one word and center a poem around it.

Beautiful

BEAUTY to stay humble
a BEAUTY  that is so kind
BEAUTY to compliment
tell someone joyful prayers
I show BEAUTY in small details
designs bring courage abounding
maybe stitches have to stand out
sun dances through open moments
the unexpected brings fullness
a most smart BEAUTIFUL you

a person free to decide things
has one ear in this world
peaceful BEAUTY stays near
who brings chaos back from echos
a BEAUTIFUL God shaping us
spirit found among ordinary
one deer captured happy
perfect by a  crowded ecosystem
stillness never thought possible
the BEAUTY in quiet beehives

sweet honey on a day
from one comes another
inside;walls of BEAUTY lie
cost grows wild daydreams
homes breath true BEAUTIES
coming off pages gracefully
out beyond ocean waves
it roars softly in tune
BEAUTIFUL confidence hears color
splashed through constellations

God sits on pegasus all night
ballet star skies dance away
He gives adventure its own mind
and you Janes awesome bravery
knows how to activate surprises
the worlds littlest joys
as expected turns to light
you see BEAUTY in live tears
you see new through baby eyes
familiar free,rust smoothed
I saw places differently

my grownup telescope shines
pinpoint  a favorite star
it sees difficult here and now
BEAUTY Edisons light falls
we rely on batteries alone
a caffiene stripped experience
He brings a BEAUTIFUL process

truly seeing how pioneers felt
colonists had imagination round
allow Jesus to recharge emptiness

a BEAUTY to be a light
take darkness as pretty
there is no percentage of grace
everything is BEAUTIFULLY alive
my love of Jane taught BEAUTY
a BEAUTY defined by me
a BEAUTY in hearts power
a BEAUTY to stand out
in ways God made me BEAUTIFUL

Misfit Prayers

Written at end of Febuary. The song is covered also by Little Big Town

Misfit Prayers

A prayer a line or two
behind clouds hidden
all that mattered today
was taking that deep breath
perfect was one mind away

happily different every read
day one give a calm purpose
let crisp air wash over

inside this new day
the sun keeps surprising
too quiet noise required
mountains whisper first
silence loses to struggle
day two help bring a way
hear what is a present

maybe He isn't listening
there's too many people
one of God's misfits
all noise does little
waves of sound break up
day three show a big sign
answers lost dreamer

be more in sync
read about people
find main cast to cherish
Mary encourages always
Day  four use your influences
put great humans out front
when one step is heavy

this world is so beautiful
can we see our beauty
taking on more thoughts
pressure to stay freed
day five where is this breakthrough
wrapped in light dust
slow and see his timing
one whisper ahead

He really is active
warm energy source
home in ways comforting
day six all day progress
mighty forces at work
tie loose ends up
find a perfect calmness

a song popped up on Spotify
"when you're praying
give him all your words
he'll give you all you need"
day seven  my broken prayers
have been answered
thank you God from me
I love you with whole heart
