Morning Joy

Joy is in cool mornings,
A cool morning breeze when the sun is bright;
Joy is in this feeling,
Of rebirth and delight.

And I yearn to wake up and awaken;
I yearn to walk beneath the light;
I yearn to walk just near the trees,
And watch some little birds in flight.

I yearn to walk just near the shore,
And watch the waves at sea;
There’s nothing I could ask for more,
Than earth’s enchanting melody.

In the early hour of the day,
When night has just passed away;
When all is fresh, and all is beautiful,
When all is brilliant, ever pure.

Joy is in cool mornings;
A stroll amidst a brand new day,
When life is just beginning,
When angels sing and dance and pray!

In the Silence of Love

Love speaks,
but love is also silent.
Silent enough to listen,
when you hurt through and through,
Silent enough to hold you,
silent enough to kiss you,
silent enough to stay,
just when you need it most.

Because love is silent…
It does not yell nor scream,
but listens to your deepest dreams.

In times of darkness,
it is there,
allowing your heart to rest,
and it does it best,
to give you space and time.

O, how we need its silence,
when we are guilty and ashamed,
and we know we are to blame,
but instead of reprimands,
love is silent and understands.

And without speaking a word,
it consoles your heart and soul.
In compassion and in trust,
it raises you when you feel small.

And it gives it all,
in the silence of love you are cherished,
In the silence of love you are seen,
There is no need to run away,
or hide or turn around,
Love remains though love is silent,
and it will never let you down.


Jocelyn Soriano wrote the books “Poems of Love and Letting Go” and “Of Wave and Butterflies: Poems on Grief”.

Make Peace with Your Shadow

 

 

Make peace with your shadow. Unless you are able to,you will never dare venture in the light.

 

Let not another’s measure of happiness be your own measure.Judge not the things that can make you happy.

 

God does not take us only when we are lovable,but moreso when we are most in need of love.

Two crosses we must bear

Of all the crosses
we must bear in life
these two are the most painful:

that we cannot be loved enough

and that we cannot love enough
the people we care about the most

Salvation (poem)

992349_tree.jpg

God was there
from the very beginning
but I knew Him not
and I turned away

I looked at the world
and beheld its splendor
til that same splendor
snatched me
and I was thrown
amidst its cold brightness
and I yearned for the warmth of home

In despair I wept
and I cried out to my God:
Rescue me for I desire not these things
and I will have none of this beauty
if only to be back in your arms

And my God heard me
and ran to me
and snatched me away from the world
and took me even
within His heart

Therein only
did I find joy
and peace
and LOVE
atlast!
