Light moving
Traveling
Shining bright
Chasing dark
Banishing
Deep set fears
Bringing hope
To the lost

Searcher of the Scattered
As a Good Shepherd
The Lord God
Seeks, saves His sheep
Syllable Lune
“For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I, even I, will both search my sheep, and seek them out. As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered; so will I seek out my sheep, and will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.”
Ezekiel 34:11-12 KJV
Dignity
Dignity is respect
Everyone deserves.
Stand against evil.
Human trafficking profits
From destroying people’s freedom

Guiding Light
His Star
In the Eastern sky
Was a sign
Of His birth
Pointing towards Bethlehem
Leading Wise Men
Shadorma
Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
Matthew 2:1-2 KJV
Times of Nebulousness
In a fog
Vision limited
Life’s walk
Vaporous
Purpose seems to be unclear
Light lifts and reveals
Shadorma
Encourage Yourself
Some days when you just can’t win
Fight that feelin’ of just givin’ up
Don’t lose hope before you begin
Some days when you just can’t win
Keep tryin’ and make yourself grin
Pray for God’s strength to stand up
Some days when you just can’t win
Fight that feelin’ of just givin’ up
Triolet
The First and Last
He’s the beginning
Also the end
Alpha and Omega

Modern Slavery

Know no freedom
Mired in slavery
They pray and hope for a victor
To come
Cinquain
Modern slavery exists today in many places worldwide. Be it sexual exploitation, forced marriage, or forced labor, many women, men and children are victims.
You can help set them free by spreading awareness, making a donation to help one of the many organizations in their fight to stop this, or simply just pray that those who can help or intervene will do so.
I have teamed up with Dressember.org this month as a Advocate to spread awareness and raise funds. If you’d like to donate to my team’s campaign “Help Stop the Chains of Abuse” I would very much appreciate your support.
I will be giving a free handmade Origami Dress Ornament to anyone who makes a donation of $5.00 or more by December 15th.

Thank you.

Some Thoughts on This Last Day of November 2019
Consider…
You can’t go back
And erase the past
You can go forward to create a
future

Next month I have chosen to do a challenge called “Dressember.”
For this challenge I have committed to wear a dress everyday for the month of December in order to raise awareness (and funds) in the campaign against human trafficking and modern slavery.
So some of my poetry next month may reflect on this as I journey thru each day of the challenge.
I will be making daily posts on my personal blog about my journey regarding this challenge as well as posting pics and info about Dressember and the fight against human trafficking and abuse.
If any of you would like to follow me on this journey I invite you to subscribe to my other blog at: Blog | Leona J. Atkinson | Inspirational Writer/Artist
