STAR SHINE
by Louise Bartholomew
Long ago, the star
illumed the night, leading
Wisdom, Peace and Love
to the manger
wherein lie
Christ, newborn.
In this New Year of 2010
May this star
illume our way
as we strive to bring
Wisdom, Peace and Love
to our heart's lowly manger
wherein lies
Christ newborn!

Moving through space
With the speed of thought..
Her light as bright
As an evening star..
Possessed of a love so wondrous
Becoming more of "The Light" she sought..
Taking her place in a galaxy..
One, perhaps, of billions more..
Floating, flying, joyously spinning
Aware that such was just the beginning…
NOW HEAR THIS
By Louise Bartholomew
In these times
Of doubt and
fear
These old
truths
We must hold
dear
Remember,
man’s extremity is
God’s
opportunity!
IT'S UP TO YOU
by Louise Bartholomew
Your soul doesn't have to worry
about getting hit
crossing the street
going bankrupt,
or having a heart attack.
Your body doesn't have to worry
either
if you cross on the green light,
save some don't spend all,
and eat prudently,
give up stress.
Keep body and soul together, the
choice is yours!
SOUL
by Marie Hall
He stands there, his arms
outstretched towards the sky.
His song vibrates through
the rafters touching every heart.
So moved are they who listen
that they cry.
While some discover the God
he sings about is real,
right here, not set apart.
They feel the singing as it warms
a path so deep within.
They long to go there,
to find promise, to reach the goal
For now they know it's not about sin.
It's in the feelings and it's all about love, all about soul.
ROLL AWAY THE STONE
by Marie Hall
I often think of that first Easter morn
When the stone was rolled away
and they found Jesus gone
There was nothing left except the shroud
They had wrapped him in
And a kind angel, who spoke ever so gently to them
"You won't find Him here for He is risen".
I think how wonderful it would be if we could
escape our prison
When our faith is weak and things are wrong
And we feel too much alone
Hear the voice within us saying,
"Just roll away the stone".
EVERLASTING FAITH
by Tiffany Zills
Daily intercessions of my faith
have been evoked by my loyalty
As regression had turned
my weaknesses to graze
far beyond the contradictions
of my beliefs,
but my soul entwines with praise.
Embracing the occurrences
brought forth by heart
beyond my doubts I lie
pushing forth through the
barriers beyond my smooth road,
but with hope and love I fly.
TOUCH
by Louise Bartholomew
In the midst
of pain
Does the hem
of the garment
Seem too far
to reach!
Breathe deeply, stretch,
touch
and be made
whole!
ALL IS QUIET
IN THE COUNTRY
by Marie J. Ross
Sitting on my back porch
I hear the purr,
the purr of God's silent breath
through the birch tree forest.
Russet mounds open their doors
for crisp autumn leaves blotches
of chartreuse tracing pathways.
From the marsh a fishpond soaks
in mossy robe, where in the peak of
tranquility, I hear a fish flap bubbles
to the surface.
I scan the landscape connected to winter's
last flare, the lords white bed upon the
earth, and through the hazy clouds a pillow
of stillness speaks to the rolling hills as
lofty trees reach for warming sun to
pirouette through their branches.
And I sit beguiled by the beauty that dwells,
finding myself watching shapes of twilight
as I ponder, will these awesome splendors
always be a quiet humming through my ears?
TAKE A DIP
by
Louise Bartholomew
The mountain pool
refreshes, restores
momentarily
The pool of divinity within
refreshes, restores
eternally.
AT LAST
by Holly Heiser
God is such a patient teacher
For this struggling
slow-learning creature
It's dawning on this child at last
To give up patterns of the past
What I groped for from without
Is not what life is all about
Within, with God my peace is found
There happiness & love abound
Simple discovery yet is profound,
Thank you, God
I've finally come 'round!!
OUTSIDE MY WINDOW
by Marie J. Ross
When I open my windowhis light is my muse, air
becomes my eyes blinking
on his splendors.
I see the tall oaks shade like
his brush painting strength
on their roots and branches
like father time.
Mother spring brings blossom
in collage of hue, she swings her
skirt and they become flowers,
little hats and colorful blouses
swirling scent, the creator's gift
to us.
Outside my window his light is
my pen the eyes to his magnificent
beauty and sounds of nature.
And I thank him for blessing me
with the wonder of his muse.
CHOICE
by Louise Bartholomew
The Lord created you and you
and me
Invited us to share
eternity
Commanded us to love
each other
Not only self
Also brother
How do we this commandment keep?
Your choice
To have as your goal
Lip service or soul
And so, shall you reap!
HOW GOD AND FARMERS FEEL
by Louise Bartholomew
I ate a peach, and just for fun
I stuffed the pit into an earth filled
pot. Whimsy was rewarded.
It grew--a twig pushed up
a leaf fluttered in the breeze.
Amazed, I smiled
and blessed it.
Another season and there is
a blossom on the branch.
Bees hover, then depart.
A miracle grows--A
peach appears!
And I know how
God-and farmers feel.
