Afraid?
What is “the thing”?
What is the “that” in you
Which is so big it causes such
Great Fear?
Wonder if someday it suddenly
Becomes real and comes?
What will you do?
Panic?
Or Pray?
What will you do?
Will you fight or just freeze?
Will you crumble in trepidation?
I know
What i would do because it’s come.
And I am trusting God
To remove it
From me.
Double Butterfly Cinquain
Job 3:25–“For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.”
A small place
Within my head
Where I often go
To ponder something I read
Or seen
Whether I am about or in bed
The space is mine alone
To go and just be
Serene

Tonight,
Set clocks ahead.
Let us save daylight,
And let us lose a hour of sleep.
Tonight,
It is that time if the year again,
That we must “Spring Forward”!
At least clockwise…
So tired!
Butterfly Cinquain
Don’t quit
Keep looking up
Though the path is long and hard
Stay focused on climbing higher
Don’t quit
Stay focused on climbing higher
Though the path is long and hard
Keep looking up
Don’t quit

In a
Gingerbread House
My life is oh so sweet
On Candy Cane Lane, where
Gumdrops
Stuck in gooey icing so Royal,
And dancing Sugarplums
Everyday
Delight!

Happy #GingerbreadHouseDay
Again,
So much sorrow,
And again so much pain.
All I have are prayers and hope
In God
To help,
To heal, to restore, to bind,
To work all things together
For good. I hope.

I gaze
Upon the bench
I sat upon this Summer,
My place of rest where I pondered
Wellness,
While praying for recovery,
And His daily strengthening,
And give thanks
He gave.

Pumpkin Spice
I’ll be concise
One sip will not suffice
Tis a drink you should enjoy at least twice
Even trice
Please listen, take my advice
It’s smell and taste do entice
It’s paradise
Very nice
Butterfly Cinquain/Rhyme
Old trunk
If you could talk,
I can only imagine
What kind of stories would you tell
Of life,
And your travels on land or sea.
Who did you belong to?
What did you hold?
I wonder…
Butterfly Cinquain
To win
Don’t dwell with doubts
Doubts are just traitors
They promote fear, cause loss
In life
They keep attempts from happening
Quench good and create losers
Do not listen
To them
Butterfly Cinquain
(Inspired by Shakespeare)
“Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt.”
-William Shakespeare
