Constantly changing
Caught up in a tide pool life
Fighting to survive
Seeking someway to escape
The high and low that entraps

When the
Lightening strikes
Rolling thunder threatens
I seek safety in the One who’s

Flowers of Summer
Their visit is short
Yet brightens our summer days
Beautiful blooms

In This World
Troubles
Everyday
Coming someone’s way
What can I say, but sigh and pray
Always

Thought Color
Reflecting my mood
Mountains cast shadows of blue
Walking life’s trail
Haiku
Two Words
I shot a cruel word into the air
Hitting the tablet of a heart
It crushed and laid it bare
I shot a kind word into the air
With loving thought and care
A hope and dream it did impart
Rhyme
Words have power to destroy or build up.
Think before you speak.
Peace Agreement
Empty words spoken
A treaty signed by two
Playing games on paper

Life’s Ordinary Things
Bird song,
First rose in bloom.
Enjoying the simple things.
Feel of rain, and the warmth of sun
Blessings,
Priceless, often overlooked,
Treasures are free,
And in our lives
Abound.
Butterfly Cinquain
Find beauty and joy in the ordinary things that life brings.
“If the sight of the blue skies fills you with joy, if a blade of grass springing up in the fields has power to move you, if the simple things of nature have a message that you understand, rejoice, for your soul is alive.” –Eleonora Duse
Summer
Roses and Daisies
Dancing with the warm breezes
Shades of blue sky
Haiku
Sizzling Summer Sunset
July 4th
God’s Fireworks
Light up the horizon
And set nighttime heavens soundlessly
Ablaze!
Cinquain
(As our neighborhood and city was putting on a very noisey fireworks display, God entered with the most beautiful brilliant sunset that awed many)
