POEM: Burning Bushes

Originally posted on Laura Kauffman:
Watch: it always comes right when you expect it least. The light slants, enchants; your spirit, wakening, hums and rouses the sleeping beast.

I’m so excited to have a BUNCH of my work featured in next month’s Collected Online Arts Magazine. Here’s a teaser poem they released. Before corona, Collected ask me to write about light. Those six poems will be released in April. Corona and darkness have been everywhere; somehow it seems timely to find a little light. #poetry #light #corona #poetsofinstagram #christianpoetry #christianpoet #twilight #love #romance

Rainy day poem, and a reminder that God’s name is He Sees. #elroi #christianpoetry #poetry #poem #tanka #hesees #alabaster #dreams

I’m not the only one in the family who writes poems. 😍 #proudmama #boypoems #pretzel #poetry

I may be working on Valentine’s Day, but at least I get to look at this kid while I do it. #actionshot #trumphands @ckauff21

For the lonely married, the happily married, the barely married. You are so loved. For the newly single, the still single, the happily single. You are so loved. For the widowed, the divorced, the refugee, the orphan, the child, the forgetten. You are so very loved. Happy Valentines Day. You are the beloved. #valentines #valentinesday #love #jesus
