Silent, wide-eyed and frightened
Afraid to look left
Afraid to look right
Afraid they are laughing
At me.

Hide under hair!
Hair in my eyes
Protecting me
The wind blows it aside
And I'm bare for the world to see

Scared and afraid, with eyes watching
EVERYWHERE!
Hide, Hide, HIDE!!!
Where? WHERE can I hide???
Away- with no one to laugh
Stare, admire or put me on a pedestal.

AWAY, Away, away,
Please, away?
Please help me?
So lost –
IT so big
And I so small….
 
 
 

Invitation

 

 

"Come to Me"
Enveloped the woman-child
Surrounded, re-echoed within her
Gently, intrinsically.

She was sad
As she recalled
And while she cried,
Yet didn't seek or go.

Surrounded with loss
She hurt from within
"Come to Me"
Echoing and re-echoing deeply.

Marijo Phelps was saved by His grace in 1974, from 9 years of

professing atheism into His loving arms. She lives with her husband in

the middle of a mountain meadow. She is wanting to spread the good news

about His redemptive plan for our lives through written media. Her name

is pronounced Mary Jo (her dad got cute with the spelling of it). She

was an RN for 23+ years, missionary with YWAM then statistical analyst

for Every Home for Christ over 9 years. She had her first poem

published when she was four years old (her mom might have had more than

a little to do with that!) She has been writing ever since. You can find more of her
