Arlene Dery Poems

Grief be mine, I ask you so,
If not for you, I wouldn't know,
How life once was and then be still,
How so precious, that death do steal.
...

When I haven't seen your face,
Or felt the warmth of your embrace,
When you are but a thought,
Just a vision I have sought.
...

A surprise! A surprise! What will it be?
Bringing it closer, 'cause I wanna see.
Is it a prize? or maybe a gift?
Oh, does it matter? My spirits have lift!
...

A lock of hair trimmed, with ribbon so sweet,
A bouquet of flowers, pressed to keep,
The baby dolls resting, from hard play,
Sympathy cards, are with them today.
...

So many feelings inside to explore.
discovering one, then some more.
Emotions come out! I implore.
a thought to put down for evermore.
...

Always missing, never finding,
On the path that's ever winding-
Around in search of you,
(It was all I knew to do) .
...

The blackest cat I ever met,
That is why I named him Jet.
Was Jetty, that he came to be,
The little kit, who came to me.
...

There's a place beyond the veil,
That's hidden physically.
How can I doubt my Lord is real,
Because I cannot see?
...

Though my soul longs to be,
On that side eternally,
There's a reason, here to stay,
Wonder why most every day.
...

Welcome Tears-
you came my way,
so I may know Comfort,
in my saddest of days.
...

We've had a separation,
Far in space and years,
You are always welcome,
So put away your fears.
...

Oh, tiers of a fountain
Cry out your distress,
Water overflowing
Blues of caress.
...

I saw my earthly treasures,
Flash before my eyes,
In a fleeting moment,
I understood the lies.
...

Silently quiet. Hush,
Delicate wings of purple and gold.

Then - with a gasp of air
...

On day three, here's what was found;
They couldn't keep Him in the ground.
So for Christ, to meet his doom,
They blocked the entrance to the tomb.
...

Rosy red berries, picking so sweet,
Such is a tempting and heavenly treat.

Rinse under water, cut off the green,
...

With no where to turn, and no place to be,
I found my back to, the Mighty Red Sea.
Peril surrounding, my every side,
Enemies charging, no place to hide.
...

This time I held you tight,
and didn't let you go.
I'm wiser now, with better sight,
back then I didn't know;
...

Arlene Dery Biography

I haven't been writing poems for a few years so I wanted to come back and try writing for awhile. It's a good way to challenge myself and nice to reflect on things. I live in a beautiful area and so I will have a lot of inspiration around me.)

The Best Poem Of Arlene Dery

Hope In Heaven's Day

Grief be mine, I ask you so,
If not for you, I wouldn't know,
How life once was and then be still,
How so precious, that death do steal.
Because that grief, won't go away,
Learn to let it have its way.
The link to love, a precious one,
Is met with grief and still not done.
The days do come, and nights do go,
Grief will stay as time is so.
And so a loved one passes on,
And grief comes in and carries on.
Does grief get better, I will ask,
It's hard to say, while at its task.
There is grief to help us cope,
There is God to give us hope.
Grief will surely go away,
On that glorious heaven's day.
But while its here, there's just one thing,
Pray our Lord, for peace he'll bring.
