Quickly jotted notes
Faceless friends and family
Life passing by
Living in a timeclock
Checking Apple’s watch
Running life’s racetrack
In a zombie world
Filled with roads to nowhere
Lonely souls needing God.

Living in an imperfect world
With imperfect people
As we struggle to survive
Searching for answers
With imperfect people
We walk, talk and dwell
Searching for answers
Only God can help us achieve
We walk, talk and dwell
Climbing mountains
Only God can help us achieve
Are we willing to trust Him?
Climbing mountains

#NaPoWriMo 2019–Day 26–Prompt: Today, I’d like to challenge you to write a poem that uses repetition.
Alien
Because I was without
Christ, living in
Darkness
Ensnared, a
Foreigner to Israel, without
God and without
Hope, a gentile in
Israel and to all
Jews
Knowing not the
Love of God, believing in
Myths
Not knowing the truth
Of the wonderful
Promises of God
Questioning life’s purpose
Running from truth, a
Stranger to the covenant of Promise
Then, through God’s grace
Understanding the gospel brought me to
Victory in Christ, and I was a
Wanderer no more, a
Xenos no more, I belonged and was
Yoked to Christ forever in
Zion, the New Jerusalem.
Abecedarian
(Based on Ephesians 2)
#NaPoWriMo—Day 14–Off Prompt
If I didn’t know You
As I truly do
I could tell a lie
And not blink an eye
Worship an idol
With any title
Use your name in vain
Or kill like Cain
Even cheat and steal
Without any ideal
Chosing not to laud
Parents and You, God
If I didn’t know You
As I truly do
I would break all Ten
As do some men
Mankind unaware
Living without care
Never to repent
On a knee that’s bent
Who’ve never heard
The Covenant word
If them I don’t tell
I’m guilty as well
Syllabic Verse/Rhyme
(Based on the Ten Commandments Of God)
Stress abounds
If we allow it to
Restrain it
Detain it
Take it captive and cast down
Imaginations
Shadorma
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 2 Corinthians 10:5 KJV
Not once, in all times I’ve cried,
Coming to you broken,
In sorrow on bended knee,
Heart burdened with pain,
Not once, have You not heard.
Yet, of certain things
You’ve not replied though
In tears I ask again and again.
My heart knows as I walk
Taking steps my eyes can’t see,
That someday soon You will answer,
Fulfilling things hoped for
By this trusting soul, for
Not once, have You not heard.
Sonnet (Modern-unrhymed)
(Based on Hebrews 11:1 and 2Corinthians 5:7)
Wet Footprints
Two hieroglyphics
Imprinted
Two symbols
Upon two rocks temporily
Ponder the meaning
Shadorma
Today my grand-son and I were outside in my yard taking some pictures of him before he left on a trip to do a show in Seattle. He is a music artist who performs hip hop. The grass was wet as it had rained earlier. As we walked back to go inside we had to step on some river rock I have near my patio. I happened to look down and saw that our shoes had left some strange looking imprints on various rocks. Two rocks in particular I noticed as looking like having hieroglyphic symbols on them, so I snapped a couple pics. Upon doing an internet search on hieroglyphic images I came to see a somewhat similarity to the symbols for Peace and Family, in some images of the Chinese alphabet, and family peace is something that I recently have been praying for. Is it too far fetched to think these wet shoe markings could be telling me we are taking steps towards Family Peace? I am not one who believes in co-incidences and I see meaning in many unordinary things. So I am led to believe perhaps God sent this as a sign to us.
God
So loved
Everyone
Yes, everyone
In the whole world
That He gave us a gift
The most precious gift He could
He gave us all His Only Son
Who died to save us all from our sins
And bring us all into eternal life
Etheree
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. 1 John 5:13
As my heart fills with perplexity
And threatens to overwhelm my soul
My minds fills with Your words to me
Comforting with precious
Promises so sweet
And remembrance
Of Your care
Towards
Me
Nonet
In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul. Psalm 94:19 KJV
I’m fighting
The urge to not care
To give up
Abandon
All the minutes given
Me to use today
Shadorma
O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; Psalm 63:1
