Before, During, After

Before I was feeling empty

Since joy didn’t fit in my heart

Smiles came and went with sad sorrow

Frowns seemed to frame my empty face

During this time, I found my way

Seeking my truths as I did pray

Understood that my days turned black

Comfort in life I now did lack

All was taken in a short flash

Dreams tumbled and suddenly crash

As failure overtook one’s mind

Your love in life turned cold and blind

Sorrow captured my body’s peace

Life we lived died coming to cease

After years of solitude pain
The mind grew and heart became full
Faith in one’s own self and in God
Taught me again to become full

God's Angels

 

Guiding star to God’s heavens

is the light of His spirit

Great wings from God’s angels

now bearing your faith

Season's Style

 

Breath of winter breeze
commands a coming freeze
snow bows in winter white
hovers in heaven’s light...
ice crystals cling

Become Whole Again

 

Peaceful meadow filled with buds of beauty

dance in the wind that spreads colorful waves

to all who fill their hearts with gentle love

smiles wipe the frowns as serenity comes

Twisted minds are calmed just for a moment

allows destined light to a despoil path

peaceful calm listened to one’s lonely heart

light upon one’s eyes show pathway ahead

Footsteps in one’s stride directly broadened

one’s path become visual and ready

new direction, new thoughts, new horizon

rejects fear continues directed walk

Minds confusion calmed as the light prevailed

faith overtakes the weakened structures state

trust gained as stable foot carries the body

confidence takes shaken will of despair -

as one becomes whole again in their heart

- Rhoda Galgiani

Light of the Night

 

Silver moon turn on your light

velvet power in twilight hours

mystic pull reaches flower -

must die to be reborn

My X-Beau

 

 

The phone rang - Hello?

A voice from the past

It was my x-beau

How are you, I asked! 

I’m just fine, he said

Old thoughts came alive

I felt swirls in my head

Divorce I did survive 

25 years marriage shared

We raised three children

Once he showed me he cared

This man was one in a million

But, his love for me died

I had to go it alone

For years I silently cried

I struggled on my own

Departed from my only true love

I still admire and think so much of

Yesteryear's Memories

 

Memories - lessons carry

reminder of life , a wonderment
of colorful rainbows and youthful
gifts of gentle knowledge of
yesteryear’s disappearance

- Rhoda Galgiani



Along the Way

 

Along the way we somehow get lost

twists and turns that follow trails of woe

we search for truth that is before us

silently we hear ‘I am here - always’

We turn in the direction of His words

calmness over takes our weakened being

His light touches our soul with His truth

again His words ‘I am here - always’

Through Him our faith and love rings us free

trust His words we feel His love forever

He will not forsake us as He touches our hearts

joy comes as He speaks ‘I am here always’

- Rhoda Galgiani
