As my prayers ascend
To Him who is on high
Blessings come down
Covering my path
Like falling leaves

Refreshing Rain
Blessings come down like rain
Monoku
He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers that water the earth. Psalm 72:6
Creator’s Covenant
A promise
Is only as good
As it’s source
Therefore
Place your trust in the Creator
Of the first promise
Shadorma
Ceaseless Hope
Commit to always keep going non-stop
Singing a song only your heart knows
Clinging to a belief deep within
That will give your soul the wings to fly
Syllablic Verse
(Based on this poem by Emily Dickinson)
“Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,”
–Emily Dickinson
prompt for the day isn’t exactly based in revision, but it’s not exactly not based in revision, either. It also sounds a bit more complicated than it is, so bear with me! First, find a poem in a book or magazine (ideally one you are not familiar with). Use a piece of paper to cover over everything but the last line. Now write a line of your own that completes the thought of that single line you can see, or otherwise responds to it. Now move your piece of paper up to uncover the second-to-last line of your source poem, and write the second line of your new poem to complete/respond to this second-to-last line. Keep going, uncovering and writing, until you get to the first line of your source poem, which you will complete/respond to as the last line of your new poem
Again
I worried
And wondered although
God said don’t
Syllable Lune
Sound familiar?
God says not to worry yet again I find myself doing so.
God says not to wonder about the future yet I often do that too.
Why do I do that?
He’s shown me time and time again that He’s trustworthy, that He’ll always be there for me, that He loves me and cares for me, and wants to heal me and give me an abundant blessed life, yet when a new problem arises I somehow find myself lapsing back into worry and wonder.
Ah, “the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak” said Jesus (Matthew 26:41)
Forgive me God.
I love You and I am so happy that you love me and are patient with me.
…“Lord, I believe; help thou my unbelief” Mark 9:24

Possible?
Is it possible
To be in the world, but not of?
Yes it is, if we are in Christ
Katauta
… if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new
2Corinthians 5:1
Life in the End
Living in the End Times
In the world but not of it
Have to admit it’s
Sometimes difficult
But it is always worth it
Tanka
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. 1 John 2
I Believe
In the beginning God created
The heaven and the earth.
Although it is often debated,
In the beginning God created.
Is really not complicated,
It’s a truth of great worth.
In the beginning God created
The heaven and the earth
Triolet
(Based on Genesis 1:1)
Whose Hand?
My inner child’s asking
“Whose hand are you holding
As you walk today?”
“If it’s the Hand of Pleasure,
She will lead astray”
“If it’s the Hand of Worry
You’ll have a bad day”
“I’m holding the Hand of God”
I say, ” So I’ll always be okay”
