Stories Collected While Living in France
There is a calm after a storm,
A place where the ground is tender and bares our footprints.
Where raindrops wait on petals, delicately, like a diamond from nature.
There is a place after a storm which holds it hand towards us.
The path is new, we are not alone, life’s spirit is a silent dance partner asking us to hold on.
Photo: Part of a stain glass window in my hometown.
The birds still continue to sing after their darkest morning../……..
Blessed are they who mourn for they shall be comforted.
Blessings
Love Jeanne
Hope is a wonderful gift, the window is beautiful!
To the person you are thinking about: A wish for them to be able to take that first step back on to the dance floor!
what a lovely poem…it is very touching. I loved your post from yesterday! tee hee! I can just see you in the mud! (IT worked, huh!!!!) *~
And without the storm how would we ever appreciate the calm?…
I love “…life’s spirit is a silent dance partner”. I’ll meditate on those words today and thank you again for being a precious spirit in my life.
longing for the calm after the stormy rain falls here and to dance in the sun again. however, forcasts don’t promise better times.
but i’m holding on 😉 thanks corey!
Corey, this is a perfect sentiment as many artists who read your blog are getting ready for the Angels for Brianna Auction. Thanks you for the beautiful words of inspiration.

collecting…
and in the now
of summer
beach rocks
that warm in the sun
and bathe
in the rain
and lake water
especially
the heart shaped ones
harder to come by
… and now
the addition
of rose petals
hard and soft
together

Your stained glass is the silver lining to the clouds after a storm!
This is really beautiful.
I’m lucky to know such a wonderful poet as you 🙂
I love stained glass window –
they have an inherent magic in them –
and of coure the colors are luminous!
Corey,
How beautiful!!

I have always loved stained glass….when the sun shines through it the kids say they are dancing on rainbows.
Mannnnnn.. am I looking forward to that storm being done with. 😉
I love stained glass windows..they do seem to have a calming effect just from looking at them, don’t they…
Corey,
I have long bookmarked your page but have not visited it in a while. And as if there was a gentle wind, a silent force that urged my fingers to wander through your link, I clicked on your blog and saw your wonderful entry….and I just cried..
Nothing is more fitting than your beautiful words of hope and it invigorates me — I am in the process of getting a divorce…finding a new place, starting a photography business — on my own for the very first time with 2 kids in tow…I am nervous but not scared and I am happy. And I know HE is there beside me. Thank You!
Beautiful words, thank you I needed this.x
Thank you for this poem , Like another person who commented there is a divorce situation — Not mine , but my daughters — I will send her a note with these words — God is faihful and we will have Joy again – My young grandchildren are so hurt , it seems so unfair — life for them should be joy and discoveries — reality has come too soon to their little lives — He is a loving father ,so that is a blessing – My tears fall as I wanted the fairytale ending to their problems . Thank you for being a person of such heart .
We all have a time in our lives when we really need to hear these words. What you say is absolutely true I have no doubts.
xoxo
hello corey !
merci pour cette magnifique photo de vitrail…
la lumière vient d’ailleurs
la lumière ne fait pas peur
C’est la lumière du bonheur…
Just beautiful Corey!

All I can say is…beautiful.

Stained glass holds so many opportunities for inspiration and interpretation, doesn’t it?
“life’s spirit is a silent dance partner asking us to hold on….” Beautiful words! Thank you!
Surefooted on solid ground now, huh? No guesswork here 🙂
Oh! I love this one Corey!
Being forever of the mind that I am indeed alone and feeling so adrift and out of sync, this is a reminder I need daily doses of.
Thank you!
I came back to this poem because I needed it for a friend …
I will use may be some of your words but in french …even if your poem is international …
look forward seeing you
