In the Fall season of life
It seems the sun wanes,
It’s lost its strength.
It doesn’t cast warm rays as long,
Nor with as great intensity,
As when in its summer season
Of life.
Then it was so bright and strong,
Vibrant, heated, remaining long,
But now it’s lost it’s fervor.
Yet, it still shines.
It still rises.
It still does what it was created to do.
It gives light,
Even though limited.
It doesn’t give up.
It shows up.
Do you?

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?
Once again
Autumn visits us
Abounding
In color
Leaves fall at her entrance
Blushing from her touch
Shadorma
Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. —Albert Camus
Sunflowers bowing
Clouds shed tears
Summer’s final day
Syllable Lune
Choices create it
Happenings cause it
Anxiety is often its result
No one is immune to it
Good often comes from it
Everyone will experience it

Tree holding strongly
Roots digging deeply
Un-battered,Un-broken
Leaves swaying
Branches dancing wildly
Whipping winds lashing
Tree standing firm
Rooted deep
Unshaken
Deep rooted
Firm standing tree
Lashing winds whipping
Wildly dancing branches
Swaying leaves
Un-broken, Un-battered
Deeply digging roots
Strongly holding tree
Palindrome
Since today is a “Palindrome Day”—9/19/19–19/19/9, I decided to write a Palindrome Poem.
How long
The winds do blow
Upon my weary head!
I dig in my heels, standing firm
In Him.
Cinquain
As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him,
rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
Colossians 2:6-7 NKJV
Ordinary day
Turned wondrous
Woman at the well
Visited by Truth
Living Water spoke
Messiah revealed
Woman’s life was changed
Syllabic Verse
(Read the Story in John 4: 5-30)
Who are you four,
Watching me
From above?
Friends or foe?
Syllabic Verse
Grand-daughter sent me this pic she recently took at the beach. I was taken aback by all the faces I saw in the clouds!
Scattered
Everywhere
Tiny seeds of kindness
Some grew and joyfully to me
Returned
Cinquain
In the morning sow your seed,
And in the evening do not withhold your hand;
For you do not know which will prosper,
Either this or that,
Or whether both alike will be good.
EccL. 11:6 NKJV
