Routine / Poem

October 10, 2021December 26, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

Routine (written by Sarah Bennett) I put the house to bed. Pull the curtains closed, move the dishes from the sink. I check the locks and switch off the lights. I wake with the sun. Draw back the covers, open the window and let the breeze in. I will never stray far from home. Sarah … Continue reading Routine / Poem

Sunrise / Poem

September 28, 2021December 26, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

Sunrise (written by Sarah Bennett) the day was golden / if a bit insecure / the sky was hopeful of the dawn to follow / when no light was left / the rain bled through the cracks in the stars / we thirsted no more / our dreams became the new day / expectant / … Continue reading Sunrise / Poem

Fishing / Poem

July 17, 2021January 29, 2023 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 3 Comments

Fishing (written by Sarah Bennett) Someone gives me a compliment I did not ask for, And you say I’m fishing for it. Only I did not want what I caught, I did not eat what I caught, I threw it back into the ocean Where every other nice word said about me Has sunk to … Continue reading Fishing / Poem

Spring / Poem

June 16, 2021December 26, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

Spring (Written by Sarah Bennett) There’s washing on the line and a poem in my heart, A fullness of joy that’s been in hiding. Was I the one who sent it away? There are walks to be had and flowers to plant, The sun filters through the windows, shining. A slow, happy day. Interestingly, I … Continue reading Spring / Poem

Autumn / Poem

May 6, 2021December 26, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 3 Comments

Autumn (written by Sarah Bennett) autumn always feels the same / or / I always feel the same in autumn / stepping out into the evening is a swirling of loneliness / not the hopeless kind / the matter-of-fact kind / this does not scare me anymore / it’s like returning to an old friend … Continue reading Autumn / Poem

Gone / Poem

April 15, 2021December 26, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ Leave a comment

In this post I mentioned how I took some old blog posts and turned them into poems. Here’s the second one, rewritten from this post. Again, I didn’t change too much, mostly just the format. Although I didn't include the entire post but contained it so the poem conveys one message. Gone (Written by Sarah … Continue reading Gone / Poem

Blueberry / Poem

April 8, 2021December 26, 2022 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 1 Comment

Last August I wrote this post, and I go back to it a lot - and other posts written last winter - because they contain such poetic sentiments, even though that wasn't my intention. I took it a step further and decided to turn that post into a poem, so here it is! I changed … Continue reading Blueberry / Poem

Jesus / Poem

April 2, 2021February 6, 2023 ~ Sarah Bennett ~ 4 Comments

Jesus (written by Sarah Bennett) Someone once asked if Jesus died from a bullet. They knew nothing of a cross, of the torture that lasted hour upon hour. They knew nothing of the cost or the blood of the Lamb. They thought He died in a second, Not knowing He was born to be sacrificed. … Continue reading Jesus / Poem

Please (written by Sarah Bennett) How could I bear the sorrow of forever, To this I need You to atone. God save the ones closest to my heart, Lovingly bring them home.
