FloweTry

FloweTry is a book for anyone who has ever been frustrated with life and/or love or longed for a better relationship with the Lord. If you fall into any or all of these categories, this book is for you.Life.Life is filled with and impacted by family, friends, community, and politics. Each poem will take you on a reflective journey through different points in your life. The term family is used loosely as friends and community members are often family too. Hopefully these poems will warm your heart when you come across the ones that apply to you. Some of the politically themed poems are rooted in Black history, so the actual past is not a mystery.Love.Love is beautiful, painful, and messy all at the same time. I highly recommend love despite it having its highs and lows. The poems here are both pro- and antilove, so get ready for the entertaining ride.Liturgical.There is often a still, quiet voice within your soul whispering to you. Did you know that voice belongs to the Lord? It is the Holy Spirt. God is still speaking to us in this day and age; we just need to open our spiritual eye and ear to see and hear Him. It is all right to allow the Lord to do something new in you. Sometimes we wake or walk with a new melody or lyrics in our spirit and do not know where they come from. Well, I now believe I do. It is the Holy Spirit doing something new. We just need to yield to it and go with the flow. It might not always be great or perfect, but it can be fun to just go with the flow and give praise to God with whatever comes out of your mouth, your new song. May you relax, relate, and release as you enjoy this section of poetic, heartfelt FloweTry.
