“Let’s start a revolution,”I say with vigor,“We can reform this land.”“You must be mad,” the general responds,His pickaxe gleaming in the sunlight like armor,As we gaze at the battle plans it took all night for us to draw up.“What did we stay up all night for,”And when I do not immediately respond he states,“To win,…

It’s the fifth week of the month, so we decided to do a special post! We both chose to write a poem about the same topic. You will see two posts, one from each of us, titled “The Swell”. We both explore, from our own perspectives, water in the form of a swell. In the…

This month has been filled with unexpected highs and lows. Mostly lows, for me. This poem is an exploration of what lies at the heart of a teardrop and a reminder that even in our suffering, God is with us. What’s in a teardrop but everything that overwhelms?That unhappy surprise, that pain dancing in the…

When I wrote this poem for water, I was unsure of the destination. I did not know where the poem was going or what facet of water it would explore. As I learned about the differences between watercolor and oil painting, it reminded me about how different the past us is from the new us…

This is one of the first poems I ever wrote. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the topic was water-related. Water, in the form of rain, has always fascinated me. The drops that feed our bodies, as well as our souls. Perhaps you dread those rainy days sometimes. I do too. Yet, rainy days…

This poem contemplates both the chaos and hope water brings through the whimsical dialogue of two friends. I pray that you will be reminded of the hope we have in Christ as you think about water. “Mermaids are real,” my friend insists,As we lay down in the soft green grass,Gazing up into the bright blue…

This month’s topic is water. From the grand ocean that licks our shores to the drops in our cups. That substance that begs questions of life, creation, and destruction. Water is everywhere and it is one of the few physical things that is always present no matter where you go. Even in the driest of…

This post is the response to the previous goodbye letter. May we always spur on one another towards love and life, however broken our world and hearts are. When the rust and horror of this life scream at you to leave,I want you to come back.I always do.The God that made you makes no mistakes.But…

This is a letter in which the speaker is struggling between choosing life or death. I hope it brings comfort to those who have found themselves in a similar place. The veil was thin today.My eyes could cut across too easily.My surroundings had become gray anyway.Nothing to see there.When I close my eyes, tortured dreams…

A sparrow perched on the windowsill looks back at me,And before I could process what I was doing,I found myself taking small steps towards it.And as I got closer, I could see it had something green in its beak.The green object slowly began to take form with each step, until it became an olive branch.I…
