Katherine Graven Poems

OUTSTRETCHED HANDS

I'm a sinner, was my plea
The Holy Ghost to wash over me
...

Writers block has taken me by the hand
My heart does not want to open on demand
Words are jumbled, my feelings are too
Making me unsure and totally confused
...

My gift God has given me
Opens my soul so some can see
Words dancing within my mind
Sometimes it is like the blind leading the blind
...

You never offered anything
You did not ask for anything
You never wanted anything
You did not promise anything
...

Winter’s season is flowing through the wings of the Phoenix
Guaranteeing the mirth of a new wondrous season is on its way
Reassuring the splendor of Spring will return
Come what may…
...

Wind Breeze Blowing through the trees
Wind Breeze Blowing shaking its leaves
Wind Breeze Blowing with life of its own
Wind Breeze Blowing playing in silent song
...

Why do eyes not see me
I am here why can't they see
I look for them but they don't look for me
What is the reason they will not see
...

Who are we…

When we are babies
We trust without any doubt
...

White Doves are soaring through Angel tears tonight
As the crying soul of a murdered life
Departs from someone’s friend, child, mother, lover…
No longer will they be able to share in life
...

What would I had said if I had had another tomorrow
Where my confused mind was clear with only unspoken thoughts
Would I weep with the thought of all the love that was give to me
While I waited impatiently as God’s angels gathered and sang in harmony
...
