Faith Seed

Visibility to the light our understanding hearts
regain the faith seed we must grow for
God is above us all...

- Rhoda Galgiani

My Son John

He is gone and I try to write about him.
Words just don’t come as I’ve tried.
Although the feelings are deep down inside
They cannot come out as if to say,
I'll hide so the pain will go away.

Trying again as words come out wrong.
I miss his calls; him singing that silly song.
You are ‘My Sunshine’ he would sing
Laughing I wait until his next call
Then he would sing his song all over again.

I use to say stop calling so much
As we have nothing new to say.
Haunted by words down deep within
I pray for just one more call
To hear that silly song all over again -

Home

Light within the window

calls me back home

Time to settle down

no more need to roam

- Rhoda Galgiani

For Tomorrow

Sensation penetrates the troubled mind

as if to sooth, to comfort the turmoil of

conflict that came before the darkened brow

Life of confidence, of one’s serenity is

shattered just for the moment at hand

a moment that is taken for granted in life

Ray of light shows a stumble is one’s road

bringing one to their knees just for an instant

not forever as the saddened mind would suggest

Life has its woes that brings one to shed tears

something tells the dark heart not to worry

God’s there to wash one clean for tomorrow

- Rhoda Galgiani

God Has Pity...

It is known by those
who shan’t believe His truth
hands and knees will burn
nevertheless, He will have pity

- Rhoda Galgiani

Comfort the Shadows

Beyond the wall a wave comes in
Washes away all human sin
Forgiveness comes in a night’s prayer
People close their eyes in despair

The people have no protection
From the now stirring infection
As disease comes touches the shore
Calm at the moment is no more

People pray to their God above
Asking for guidance and His love
Comfort the shadows of their wrath
Bring warmth and healing to their path

Beyond the wall a wave comes in
Destroys human life and their kin
Cries of their fear is heard worldwide
Help the people no place to hide

World come together show your love
Bring hope by the wings of a dove 

- Rhoda Galgiani

Surround the Lonely Heart

Diamonds created from an uncut stone
buried within the earth’s surface,
once found they are cut and shaped
with facets of purity

Rare is the Diamond that sparkles
with a magnitude of brilliance,
catches a sad eye for clarity
with hues that glow - blinding

Diamonds fill the heart - the purest
of love is given as the soul surrounds
its glowing depth, bringing a moment
of silence to the heart that feels

Rare is the substance that one takes
for granted, purity and love may be
shared as the Diamond opens the heart
to the facets of life as gifts of love -

surround the lonely heart

- Rhoda Galgiani

Echo of Laughter

Journey of sound -

echo of laughter excited

sweet hope soothing

my ears - in the end

 resists a fickle fairy tale

- Rhoda Galgiani

Reason to Rhyme

Looking at the pages of writings from long ago
I ponder my thoughts and wonder where I will go
Should I write something new that is of now
or post words of old that taught me how

Words come so easy to one with gabby thoughts
seems there is a rhyme, but free verse is what I caught
Like I am talking to you in a moment of peace
we chat about the world or events brings a release

So I read my past poetry it shows a younger me
words of sad tears and then some smiles happy to see
‘Expression’ I contain which is a blessing I do carry
so happy to write because it releases the weary

Now I post these thoughts with love in my heart
for all of you who read me from the very start
Thank you friends for your moment in time
I am joyful for you give me reason to rhyme

One's Thoughts...

Thoughts enter the mind
Coming from nowhere
Thoughts enter the dreams
Memories from long ago
Thoughts enter the soul
Long for answers - none given

Warmth of the Night

Evening warmth

bring dreams of him

fooling oneself

in believing

lies will

become truth

Whispering, I Will...

He carried me for so long,
me as His baggage hangs limp,
bewildered, broken and shattered
with a spirit of broken dreams that
lived in the chilling darkness.

Crying from the depths of a doomed
dimension the body sweltering from
the heat of confusion and despair,
battles the torments of the fingers that
grab the mind that plants lies and decent.

A light of brilliant glow appeared
within thy spirit to warm the soul,
brings new comfort to the beaten body,
whispers - I will lift you up in glory,
I will show you the way for faith is…

the love you have been seeking.

- Rhoda Galgiani

The Cure

The cure is faith for a broken soul, 
take a moment to calm the heart - the goal 

Faith brings to one a joyous glee,
as one is free from deep within thee

The cure is everlasting love,
faith brought to one from above

Faith is real and written in stone,
trust your heart you are never alone 

- Rhoda Galgiani

Where Would We Be?

Breezes touch the heart with renewal

brings new spirit to the heaviest burden

Carried so long within its structure

a lighten load now is bearable to carry

Misty rain showers the brow of the face

washes away the lines that carried memories

Renews one’s mindset to fresher thought

surrenders to what is to be - at that moment

Sun rays brings warmth to a tired body

comforts its inner core that will rest the soul

Rejuvenates something that was lost

restores life to one’s heart - now lifted

Stars light one’s path to the glorious heaven

promise is the word from one who created

It is said; forever is there for all who believe

it’s called trust, faith and love - for without this

Where would we be?

- Rhoda Galgiani

A Trance...

Heavens stars danced captured moonlight

floated like a melody in summers night

I watched, I froze - all passed me by

 

- Rhoda Galgiani



This Heart...

There comes a time in one's life

when the cloud that covered

one's mind suddenly opens -

new rays bring light of happiness

light of reform, light of rebirth

Slowly, the mind is restored as

faith again takes the painful load

that consumed the tired brow of dismay

surely, restore one's life with glad tidings

of calm, that the day will be - as promised

Clear skies with delightful moments one

endures the joy returned in a bountiful leap

again, new vision to eyes once dimmed

by gloom that surrounds the world on

an everyday dislocated weary basis

It is a time to rejoice, to cheer

with glee at the discovery of what

He had envisioned for one's life

quickly shadows of the darkened hall

disappeared, His promise is the light

Gracefully restored as it should be this heart

again is full of love, full of a bright glow -

until the next time but, also with a new

reasoning within one's mind how to

calmly handle grief as it arises

Combating the Devil who casts his hate

creating a painful lost life, His glory teaches

one how to cope and come to terms within

 their own peace again, one step at a time...

for this heart was shown just that - by Him

- Rhoda Galgiani

I Shall Adore

Sweetness fills the air

for those who take a moment

to breathe in its fragrance

Visions of beauty grasp

those eyes who take a moment

to see the worlds wonders

Memories are imbedded

in the mind who take a moment

to savor His creations, His work

Here is my moment -

that I shall adore

- Rhoda Galgiani



Your Inside Person

To be successful

one must take care

of the person

deep within

No one or

no tears will

take care of

you – only

you can do that

No one can

see inside your

soul – or feel

your pain

Together

with Him

we shall

succeed

- Rhoda Galgiani

Home

The wind is whistling, whipping
the trees, taunting and teasing as
the clouds cluster creating beautiful,
images that is insanely intense.
Calm comes calmly again
restoring radiant rapture that leads
to a Heavenly haven called home.

Private Thoughts

 

Boredom works

on the mind

creating a secret that

became personally private

thus, leaves one to question

thoughts real purpose

 

- Rhoda Galgiani



Knowing

Knowing - deep in our hearts
we shall come around again in time
we salvage what truth is for we
shall draw upon it twice as much

Knowing - deep in our minds
faith is the key to our sanity
we lean to those who bring us
safety with their heartfelt love

Knowing - deep in our beings
a sanction is waiting to comfort
leading us to a light of fulfillment
and joy with others who know - Him 

- Rhoda Galgiani

The Vision

Eyes shine like stars

the miracle of love

is dream from afar

look no more a long

time dance begins
