Whether winter’s fleeting light

Long lasting nights

Or sudden frights

Nothing will there ever be that keeps Your love from me

The fire in the skies above

The stars that pierce the blackness of the night

Reveal your plan and majesty

I’ll sit and wait and watch and pray

Let night, its cold and biting winds

Know soon its day is done

Heaven knows this soon will end

Not only with the birth of Spring

But with a bright and never-ending day

A new world for eternity to come

If I follow those that have come before me that have achieved what I desire,

I need to do what they do until I find my Higher Power’s way –

On April 24, 2014, the Academy of American Poets will present its 12th annual Poetry & the Creative Mind celebratory reading at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall. To mark the Academy’s 80th anniversary, readers will share poems from the last 80 years of American poetry.

Tickets are now available and can be purchased through the Lincoln Center website, the Alice Tully Hall box office, or by phone at (212) 721-6500. Hope to see you there — in the audience — and if it is your desire, then one day we may see and hear you on the stage 😉

Prayers unanswered do not mean “no”

But when God says yes

It’s time to trust

The stream will flow

When we let go
