Poem: His Voice I Hear


His Voice I Hear

By: Joi Maree Flowers

In those lonely hours of despair
When my soul is burning
And my mind is filled with chaos
And my heart is unsettled

I seek solace through prayer

And in silence I await to hear

His voice

That will speak to me
Before the clock strikes 12

And I will listen
And I will be comforted

Poem: Accordingly

Accordingly
By: Joi Maree Flowers


Understanding that things happen for their specific purpose
And reason
At their assigned time
In their appointed hour


Accordingly

 
Whether agreed
Whether accepted
Or none of the above

 
Those things that occur
Not by man's controlling hand

 
But by one
Powerful
And Almighty

 
God

 
Who before time
Made those plans

 
That were written in
The book of Destiny

 
So for ourselves

 
We could

 
Remove self
Banish plans
And
Practice patience
And
Embrace faith

 
As our way
Was never
Meant to be


But His
Was
Is
And will always be

 
Accordingly

 
Therefore we must surrender

 
We

Poem: Better Love

Better Love

By: Joi Maree Flowers

Better than before
Sweeter than the last taste
Stronger than the grip once held
Purer than the clear blue sea

Is love now

It has come
And is ours
The best of love
