Triolet poems
Faces are all around me
Young, old, dark, light,
As far as I can see
Faces are all around me
Some sad, some friendly
Some mad, some drawn tight
Faces are all around me
Young, old, dark, light,
Triolet
There are so many faces we see daily. Sometimes I don’t take the time to look at every face but other times I make a point to focus on each face I see. I guess that’s called “People Watching” and it can be very interesting.
“Abide in Me” He said
And I try to Remain
When my flesh groans instead
“Abide in Me” He said
“Wait on Me, do not dread,
Endure pruning’s pain”
Abide in Me” He said
And I try to Remain
Triolet
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. John 15:4
I just keep on tryin’
Though life can be tough
When I feel like cryin’
I just keep on tryin’
When things get kinda rough
I just keep on tryin’
Though life can be tough
Triolet
Stepping out of my comfort zone
It’s difficult, thats true
Life is taking on different tone
Stepping out of my comfort zone
I’m out sharing, not sitting alone
Lots to see, lots to do
Stepping out of my comfort zone
It’s difficult, thats true
Triolet
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
Don’t believe all you see
Things aren’t always as they seem
What looks real may not be
Don’t believe all you see
Could be false or reality
Could be true or just a dream
Don’t believe all you see
Things aren’t always as they seem
Triolet
My mom used to always say “Don’t believe anything you read and only half of what you see”.
I was reminded of this today as I took a photo last night of the left over cooled grease on my grill. I had cooked a hamburger for supper and when I went to clean the grill the grease and bits of leftover cheese had formed an interesting pattern, I thought, so I snapped a picture and just for fun put the image into one of the photo enhancing apps I have to see what would result if I edited it a bit.
The result was quite awesome!
What transformed was somewhat of a celestial looking image I thought. Certainly not something that looked like grease and cheese on a grill! 😊
Goes to show mom was right. Things aren’t always as they seem or look like.
What do you think?
As I search among the flowers bright
Looking for one unique and pure
I find it a most useless plight
As I search among the flowers bright
In all effort, as hard as I might
I do my search long and very sure
Finding tis only one truly right
As I search among the flowers bright
Looking for one unique and pure
Triolet
( For only Christ is truly pure and righteous and only He will last eternally )
Based on 1 Peter 1:24
For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away
I hear the message “It’s Time”
Yet my butterfly wings won’t fly
I want to soar, be sublime
I hear the message “It’s Time”
I want to rise in my prime
I want to circle the sky
I hear the message “It’s Time”
Yet my butterfly wings won’t fly
Triolet
Butterflies were created to fly but did you know they can’t fly if they are cold?
Butterfly Kinesiology: Keeping Warm and Staying Aloft

I can also relate this to myself, in that unless I say close to The Son, abiding in Him to receive the warmth of the Father’s love, I will not be able to stay aloft to reach my full potential and do what I was created for.
Something to think about today as I sit and watch the butterflies flutter about my yard in the summer sun.
Everywhere and everywhen
Daybreak and eventide
He’s there time and again
Everywhere and everywhen
Inside or out He’s therein
Ever always by my side
Everywhere and everywhen
Daybreak and eventide
Triolet
I’m going on vacation
Bags are packed, ready to go
Plans made, work is done
I’m going on vacation
Looking foward to fun
Expectations high, doubts are low
I’m going on vacation
Bags are packed, ready to go
Triolet
Isn’t it great when we can plan and take a vacation?
Whether is just an overnight stay, a few days away or just a day trip it’s an exciting time.
The planning and packing sometimes are better than the trip itself because of the adrenaline rush they bring into our life.
Something new awaits us!
We are leaving our comfort zone and venturing out into the unknown, anticipating good results!
It’s summer, time for vacations, pack up, go make memories that you can savor when the chilly winds of fall arrive in your life and winter knocks on your door with her icy fingers.
Even if everything doesn’t go as planned you will still be able to look back and be thankful that you took time to take a break and enjoy life!
