Esther Ferrell Seadeek Poems

Create in me a heart that's clean.
My spirit now renew--
Take pettiness and loneliness,
Resentment, fears, false pride,
...

Blue glass glistens
As a glint of sun illuminates its form
Then permeates,
Reflects, refracts, and radiates
...

"My burden is light," the Master said,
"Give me your crushing load.
Take on yourself this yoke of mine
That you may learn from me
...

When I go to my knees in prayer
My soul stands up on tiptoes
And raising its arms to the sky
Reaches out for the Infinite God.
...
