dark and golden
raw and cloudy morning
retreat becoming
part of me
all ways
I am with Him
every hour
in the back seat
of the car
on His lap
with Him
scared or tired
ebullient or
grief stricken
failing opening
I ask Ashley
every evening to share
with me and I with him
our days we are
I dare my heart
leaves falling
skies heavy
me renewing
in the mystery
of belonging
I am away
not outside
the communion
heart play
theater of the strings
I am home inside of me
with Him all ways
altering me
unexpected and unimaginable
delectable
so much hard work
so much fun
best of times
in the hardest
I am home
rain is falling
sun is shining
I am in His river
swimming for my life
in my life
