Where Poetry Dwells. Connie Holt
minute she’s going to fan
Her face and neck.
Life
Life is an ember…
The glowing remains of life
Through pain and grief and strife
Breath is its keeper
A guardian of the soul
That heal in sleep
The heart is a boundary
The gate that will swing wide
And welcome you inside
Life to share is all there is
It need not all ways be the
Best to shine
Even in the worst times
A door with no bay
A mist through which you
Could not see.
Timeless Teardrops
Tears hide in corners
Gusts of impulse, I cannot control
My heart cries forgiveness
As my mind lets go
It’s hard to see through
Our swollen tears
To fight the passing years
Along they sked silent tears
Life-giving words are hard
To write
And true devotion to hold
On tight
They said, Christmas won’t
Be the same this year
Because you won’t be here
But I know better than that
You’ll be here in my heart
Till you come back
While you serve to keep our
Country free
It helps me realize God’s place for me.
The Miracle of Christmas
Today is the only day on your calendar
God’s one eternal worth,
Hearts gather in the wonder
Of Jesus’s birth
We share that feeling of joy
The arrival of Christmas in our hearts.
Christmas is a glowing light
That sets our lives apart
Christmas is a starry night
Of joyous angels’ songs
Christmas is a manger
Illuminated by stars above
God’s miracle of peace and
Hope and love
Growing Up
Her resolutions and decisions were forgotten
Its contents left in a box
They weren’t important at this time
She has a specified position on line
A down payment on becoming
A grown woman
What important knowing full
What she’s doing any giving moment
She began to grow up
To fill her cup
Then she began to learn a new concern
As if the girl who had gone up
The hill was a different one,
Who had come down it.
Like Pandora’s tempting box,
Curious to turn the key, that
Locks new ways to yearn.
Angel’s Wings
On angel’s wings you were taken.
But in my heart you will stay
All through winter and into spring
For golden sunrises in the sky
Sunsets that kiss each day goodbye
Lights like colorful jewels
Rain and snow
Middle of heaven stands a rainbow
Know the joy of perfect rest
We know we have been blessed
On angel’s wings you lifted up,
And taken to the mountaintop
To heaven up above
Protected by God’s love
Now day has begun
Dawn awaits the sun
Glorious breaks the rosy light
That shines forever bright.
