I am royalty
Seated in heavenly places
Wearing His righteousness robe

In my Eternal Father’s Kingdom
One of heaven’s jewels
Saved by God’s grace
In Christ

It’s enough!
Enough! I shout out,
Screaming into the wind
I feel like a leaf letting go.
Set free!
Cinquain
Upon my window
The winds of time beat softly
Autumn leaves swirl
Things are changing again
Life keeps moving forward
Tanka
Out of place?
Out of season?
A misfit in my path?
Or a reminder sent by God?
A note
To awaken me to count the days,
Wasting not a moment?
“Redeem the time”
He says.
Butterfly Cinquain
“Even in our best shape we are a brittle piece of mortality. Your life is a breath, don’t waste it.” —LeCrae
I sat and watched
As a vagrant leaf
Sashayed past
Meandering
Apparently oblivious
Autumn had long passed
Shadorma
Broken
But not destroyed
For a new life emerges
A butterfly hidden within
Revealed
Cinquain
On my walk today
I met very strange chap
Full of energy
Haiku
My mind wasn’t focused on You
Like a leaf in the wind
It swirled and twirled
And got carried away
To wander in places of doubt
Coming to rest on the fence of indecision
Caught in the fear of unknown
Where it began to wither away
Without purpose
Until the force of Your divine breath
Caused it to stir, awaken, and break free
To soar to higher places
And sit in the heavenlies
At Your feet
Soaking in the truth of Your word
Now it’s a mind renewed
To do good works
And walk in Your Spirit on earth
It no longer wanders aimlessly
Blown by winds of uncertainty
For it awaits resurrection
Where it will live forever
On the tree of life.
Free Verse
Like a fading leaf
I wonder as I age
And detach from life
On my aged tree
Just what the end will be
I am trusting and
Praying that God’s angels
Catch me when I fall
Asleep on this earth
And like the wind
Gently take me up
To my eternal home
Where I will live on
In the God’s presence
On His Tree of Life
