Living in the past
No vision, no happiness
No dreams and no hope

Spring in My Step
Walking down the street
Daffodils strewn all about
Flowers at my feet
Happenstance recipient
Of Random Act of Kindness
Tanka
Today as I was walking downtown in search of a restaurant, my eyes beheld a strange sight. I was passing by an old abandoned theatre and there, in the entrance way were scattered 5 fresh, bright golden daffodils, just waiting for a leading lady to pick up. How fortuitous for me!
Life’s Labyrinth
Bits and pieces
Of daily life
Glued together by God
Form a mosaic of beauty

To My Younger Self
I once was you before you were me.
If I’d known then, what I know now,
I would have told you this:
Remember your creator
in the days of youth,
And listen to
Your parents
Stories,
For
Times
Will come
When you will
Wish you had done
All of that and more.
I would have told you
To plan well for your future
Since someday you would grow old,
Wish you had, but it would be too late.
Nonet and Reverse Nonet
Wind of the Spirit
Waiting for the wind
To fulfill my only purpose
Patiently I stand still
Senryu
“The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” John 3:8
Works Of Art
At
First glance
I may seem
Ordinary
Yet if you will stop
To take a closer look
You may be quite surprised
You’ll see I that am a unique
Creation of God’s workmanship even though
At first glance I may seem ordinary.
Dectina Refrain
Just as these beautiful metal horse sculptures pictured above are unique creations of art, created by Dixie Jewett of Dayton,OR thru her love of horses and her skill in welding, so are we all works of art, created and designed by God.
Each of us are unique. Masterpieces of our Creator who formed us in love, to reflect and shine His workmanship to the world around us.
Ephesians 2:10 Amplified Bible (AMP)
For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us].

Point of View
Plans are often made
From the inside looking out
Or from the outside
As someone’s looking in
What is it you see?
Two different perspectives
Are presented
In a vista from within
Or an angle from without

A Tribute to Billy Graham
After a long time
As a good and faithful servant
His Lord said “Well done”
Senryu
Written I honor of Billy Graham’s entrance into the joy of his Lord today at the age of 99.
His lord said unto him,
Well done, good and faithful servant;
thou hast been faithful over a few things,
I will make thee ruler over many things:
enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Matthew 25:21
Inkling of Sprinkling
Winter’s Breakfast Treat
Nighttime dusting of snow
Powdered Sugar
Haiku
Winter just keeps showing up overnight and leaves us with traces of snow to wake up to. Poor blooming plants are not appreciating the nighttime visits. Thankfully it melts quickly at morning light.
Ring Around The Rosy
A gardener named Rosy
Often dreamed to mosey
Down an isle strewn in petals
But she wasn’t a gal who settles
For just one posy
