On May 15, 2017May 15, 2017 By denicamcIn For Artists, PoetryLeave a comment

Beauty in the Storm The hail dents the earth as the little one sleeps Light in the droplets turns the window into diamonds And I marvel at the beauty of the storms— How the thunder speaks rage and yet my heart can find peace How the babes know they’re safe because it’s always been that …

The Man Behind the Words

On February 1, 2017 By denicamcIn For ArtistsLeave a comment

What comes to your mind when you hear “Jesus?” I think it’s a good question. The way we answer that question can help reveal to us what we really believe about him, what we think we know about this man who claimed to be God and saved humanity from eternal damnation. In my walk as …

Coming Home

Why are you running? The question sounded absurd in the midst of my flight, a whisper tossed in with the raging winds that whipped my hair around my sweat-streaked face.

The blue-green of his eyes reflect the agitated waves, which reflect the churning sky. Reflection upon reflection. An imitation of origination.

For most—if not all—of us, the desire for a sense of control is a natural tendency. And understandably so. If we are to be honest, it is nothing short of fear that is at the base of this desire. There are countless things to fear in this world. Countless. So we go through life searching …

Dancing Atop Waves

His eyes dance to the beat of the wind that rushes through his hair in periodic gusts, which keep time to his footsteps coming toward me. He’s like a song wrapped up in a man, making every element and created thing in his wake become more beautiful. No—not more beautiful. Rather, his presence awakens them …

The Only Way to Find Peace

On December 2, 2015 By denicamcIn For ArtistsLeave a comment

When storms arise, we always have a choice. If we live our lives basing every decision off of what makes us feel the most comfortable and what is the most familiar, the storms of life will always catch us off guard because we’ve been depending on our expectations.
