But as for me, I will sing about Your power. Each morning I will sing with joy about your unfailing love. For you have been my refuge, a place of safety when I am in distress. — Psalm 59:16 A bloom exists, willing to share beauty within the barriers given, even in limitations or attemptsContinue reading “What Survives”

Silent Conversation
“With a bound, the sun of a molten fiery red came above the horizon, and immediately thousands of little birds sang out for joy, and a soft chorus of mysterious, glad murmurs came forth from the earth; the low whispering wind left its hiding-place among the clefts and hollows of the hills, and wandered amongContinue reading “Silent Conversation”
Things We Take for Granted
We took a walk, as we so often do, reflecting and dreaming as we wander around a neighborhood we know so well, same turns down the same streets. We know the houses, have our favorite trees, share nods with the few others who also traipse these paths, usually at the same crossways, but however theContinue reading “Things We Take for Granted”
Piercing
But He was pierced for our offenses,…. And by His wounds we are healed. — from Isaiah 53:5 I never knew a rose could bleed, that the pliant petals could be punctured by the thorns, and I wonder at the piercing love necessary for protection, so that the tender bud in beauty’s bloom unfolds. —C.L.Continue reading “Piercing”
Silly Face
A funny grin, a look-at-me and laugh, a catch-me-if-you-can run right at me as I sit on the floor pretending not to notice so that I can trap you as you pass, and my heart is full as you say I love you in every giggle and hug, every pummeling run that knocks me overContinue reading “Silly Face”

The beauty of the broken, the elegant “as is” acceptance, the grace given to all creation in the sumptuous truth of God’s good love — suchContinue reading “Window to the Soul”
The Rains
“The roadside flowers, too wet for the bee, Extend their bloom in vain. Come over the hills and far with me, And be my love in the rain.” —from A Line-Storm Song by Robert Frost The birds have shuttered in their nests, the bees have found the hive, the butterflies have closed their wings toContinue reading “The Rains”
Brilliance
The sky was a giant wave, a crashing sea of blue, and the moon appeared to be rolling atop, a silver surfer riding along the rising curl. This universe astounds me, takes me by surprise, this grandeur of God’s creative mind, and I am humbled by the the unbound beauty, the refracted brilliance of lightContinue reading “Brilliance”
Cornerstone
The petals so saturated by the vibrancy of red rested on the cool rock nestled near the garden’s edge, symbiotic beauty, silk on stone, like our own fragile hearts held by God’s love alone. —C.L. Fisher, April 2021 Unless otherwise indicated, all content, including writing and images, are the work of C.L. Fisher and mayContinue reading “Cornerstone”
A Beautiful Denouement
The last lingering hour before bed, stars become twinkle lights, a gentle wind dances through the darkened leaves, and you check the doors, put the house to sleep, one room and then the next, until you reach me, one candle left to extinguish, one last kiss, and we fall into dreams until morning. —C.L. Fisher,Continue reading “A Beautiful Denouement”
