Effortlessly…the dolphin flys
She moves transcending poise, with style
Smooth and sleek, her bounding arc
With sweet surrender, grace embarks
–
Her voice on cue, intelligent
Flows back and forth with echoing
Elegant, the song released
To slice into the sundry seas
–
She slows right down, for weaker ones
Stays long side them, losing none
Coalescing, loyalty
Lives in humble harmony
–
Like a gentle answer to a prayer
First we listen, then we hear
With spirit, joy and frolicking
God leads us to our happy home
Kelly Sampson Griswold

At last, the hope of Spring has come
Naked ‘pon the amber grass
Yearning for the warmth of rays
Rightly beaming on my face
I feel the glow break through the glass
Awake my heart that never paled
But slumbered long enough to dream
In colors bit by bit till dawn
Begin again so soft and bare
As spring rains melt the winter shale
Uncovering the litten pass

Lady slippers popping
Lightly dot the ground
The backwoods deep, are sipping sap
In this cozy, cabin town
–
With golden fertilizer
The wind blows, whispering
The moccasin floats high above
The needles in the spring
–
Seed by single seedling
Old things are now set free
Lord Jesus bares His beauty born
In His tranquil sanctuary
–
Words and music
Kelly Sampson Griswold

When two collide
In a twining interleave
In my book they should sit down
Over tea and unwind
All perceived emotions
Setting iron to iron
Both will be Happy
If they just spend the time
Not to shut out offender
Or offendee in silence
Empathy Cries
I will talk with you and humbly discern
I will forgive and ask for forgiveness
I will serve with love
Empathy Rise
Like leaven instilled into the mixture
As in the baking of bread
If we see it fall
We’ll knead the dough, once again
We’ll flute the ends together
Until completely sealed
Serenity mends
In time my friend
When deep calls unto deep
We will call upon Thee
Together enthralled
In healing beauty
We’ll put on the boil
Into porcelain vessels
Empathy, Go Forth
The Teacups
Three people strong
Three stitches more
Three white beds
To sleep in the Hall
