Joy

This National Poetry Month I will be posting a sequence of poems, written last year and this year, for others in a series called Giving Poetry. In this series, people request a poem using a title, specific words, concepts, or ideas. After writing the poem, I send it to them, posting it on Facebook and on my blog. This is Giving Poetry.

Joy, river, living, treasure, time, sweet, wisdom.

Joy: for Paige

The River flowed Life,
a living treasure,
gushing through time,
whispering sweet wisdom,
flooding joy—sublime.

Treasure in the Field

Treasure in the Field

A jewel laid long ago
In a secret place
Where few would go
Called out from concealment
Beckoning everyone to know
The treasure in this field
Would soon be revealed
Her value more precious
Than gold or life,
If anyone would pay the price,
Sell all that was owned
And buy that secret place.
Trespasses would be forgiven
And Glory would adorn each face.
