He always works it out
I dont know how He does it
But I know He does
Senryu
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28

This titled form was invented in 1999 by Craig Tigerman, Sol Magazine’s Lead Editor. Only one word is allowed in the title followed by a single seven-line stanza. The first word in each line begins with the same letter as the title. Hortensia Anderson, a popular haiku and tanka poet, added her own requirement of restricting the line length to six syllables.

Theme: By The Numbers
Most people think the number 13 is an unlucky number but since I was born on that day I have had to consider it positively as my parents always thought me to be a blessing to them and weren’t superstitious.
(Besides, I was born on a Tuesday not on a Friday!) 😊

Variegation
A world of colors.
The world is full of color!
What color do you love?
When you have so many choices,
Why choose just one?
Choose color multitudes!
Look all around you,
As far as your eyes can see,
Manifold colors surround!

#OctPoWriMo Day 27 Prompt: Color
Inside and Out
Emotions stir inside of me
Thoughts rushing in like a hurricane
Cripple my mind causing great pain
Cold feet numb, desire to flee
Would I not gotten so intense
Spoke out loud the things inside
Revealed hurts instead of hide
Tried to reason with offense
But nay, I kept it trapped within
Tongue lies silent in its tomb
Nerves on edge await their doom
I need new life to begin
God reveal to me what to do
No one knows me better than You
Sonnet (English)

A Grand Opening
Through the open door they dance
Inhibitions unlocked
Freely they fling
Flashes of color
Detached, moving with abandon
Come to rest at my feet
I gape at the beauty of the leaves of Fall
Come to entertain me
On this windy day.

Dear God
,
Do you see the real me
Beneath the heavenly skies
Leaf covered path
On my daily walk I pass by and over so many fallen leaves, some noticeable, some not. Some freshly fallen are filled with beautiful colors while some are withered, lifeless, or hidden beneath others.
It causes me to think that they are like many of us in this world. Some of us are more noticeable than others, perhaps more lively, active or attractive while others might be older, less active, or perhaps feel insignificant or hidden because they are covered in worries or burdens.
Just like the many leaves they may wonder if anyone sees the real them.
But the truth is that God does.
He sees us all, for that is one of His names.
In Genesis 16:13 it says “So she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, “You are ‘God who sees,’ because I have truly seen the one who looks after me.”
Hagar was a runaway who was alone in the wilderness with her child, she figured no one cared about her and she thought she and her son were going to die—alone….but God saw her and He spoke to her and helped her.
Matthew 10:29 says that not even a sparrow falls to the earth without God knowing about it, so I am thinking it must be the same for leaves and people too. He sees us all.
Everbody matters
For the clear truth is written
He’s “God who sees me”
