When I saw dark golden lines traced in his hands, I felt his eyes tenderly caress my face. My love is a thousand meadows that always stand, He almost whispered it, as he spoke in grace. I felt his eyes caress my face. There’s not one storm I won’t carry you out of… He […]
I don’t know the exact circumstances as I remember them, but I had a lovely and terrifying dream last night. I was at this gigantic event, held in some fancy arena where thousands of people were gathered around. However, after a while, everyone ended up leaving and rather quickly. It soon ended up being […]
I’m tired. I’m tired of people hating and dismissing and ignoring and belittling others. I’m tired of hearing the same old excuses over and over again, when we all know the truth. I’m tired of “better” Christians hating on other Christians just trying to fight the good fight in this lifetime. If we don’t […]
My apartment in college is beautiful, no doubt, except the restrictions upon the walls can leave one hanging blankets any tacky posters. I came across Deco Mates through a friend and was able to put one of my own wall decal on my wall in my room. It takes patience, considering the letters, but it […]
I just finished my latest book read. I thought I knew what I was supposed to know about William Faulkner. Of course, I was assigned to read several of his books in High School, two of my intrigues being As I Lay Dying and The Sound and the Fury. I knew he was a great […]
Throughout 2012, I felt an anchor weighing me down slowly but assuredly. It brought me low enough to where I could somehow manage to understand the waters I was drowning in. They were ugly waters, deep and urging. They wanted to keep me submerged long enough until I felt incapable of fighting any longer. The only thing […]
Jack Sacco is the award-winning and bestselling author of Where the Birds Never Sing. Personally speaking, this book rendered my life with a new passion for the goodness in people, especially when my faith in humanity was growing frail. I’m reading through Above the Treetops now and I’m sure you’ll love it. You can order […]
Maybe we will never be able to grasp the meaning behind this sorrow The pain too thick, too wet and too vast to forget For once, in this hellish of a game, what comes of the morrow From this all too dark, December day? For the parents of the lost, tomorrow will be their […]
She’s finding a new loveliness in the fields behind him A newness unlike that which she has seen or felt before The fields somehow bending toward him, tickling his skin Whispering things untold and things he’d soon whisper to her– Why did she have to wait to see what lies behind him? Why did she have to […]
“For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.” Romans 11:29 When I began to take oil painting seriously, I honestly didn’t know what to expect. I always deemed myself inept and very inadequate to complete anything worthy. That was a struggle of mine. It may still be difficult to sign my name or […]
This is probably one my more stronger opinionated pieces, which I rarely tend to write about, but I’ve been feeling a stirring to make a point over. Writing voices can often come off arrogant or offensive, as we are never hearing the writer’s own tone of voice, but I’m writing this not to offend but […]
If the last time I were to close my eyes, Would be the last I ever saw of this life… I hope to God, that afterall, my years spent had made an imprint Not that any foot–man’s or jaguar’s–could fit Not that anyone could mock, grind, or cover with winter’s grit But that anyone who […]
She poured two glasses, three, then four Her eyes lit within, she asked for more Her body trembled with eager temptation When probed, she shook with irritation Her mind pleaded for her past to rid free While her heart longed for an incomparable glee Her eyes glazed dark, hands spread, her lips a lifeless red She […]
I may be only one out 7 billion people on this planet. Indeed, that may make me feel small, but when I think of the grander aspect of just how tiny I actually am in comparison to this universe we’re living in, it may no longer be a matter of just how tiny I […]
She stands in strength, graceful, like the willows Though inwardly, inimically, she slowly wrought She breathes in poise, while another’s breath harshly billows Joy, peace, love—a certain gentleness—she quielty sought Her arms weakly embrace her desires—gently caressing Are these the true chapters of my life story? she thinks, while dressing Her days are aching, roughened and mellow […]
Dear reader, this is a place where I share a little poetry, a little art, a little bit of writing and a lot of God. He is good. Love is good. I pray your visit is uplifting even in the tiniest of ways. Thanks for visiting! Blessings, Samantha
