Wind whispers
With a chilly voice.
Daylight turns off her light
Earlier, as each evening fades
Away.
Calendar creeps forward to the
Predetermined time
Autumn’s debut
Will come.

Are You?
Falling through life’s cracks?
Or are you a ground breaker?
Growing in the hard places,
Blooming where you’re planted,
In spite of dry times,
Letting nothing hold you back,
From reaching your goal?
Modeling tenacity,
Like teeming dandelions?

Cloudy Days
Promises
Of sunny days
Dissolve as the dark clouds linger.
Each day summer’s warmth is cut short
It seems.
Cinquain
This summer we have not seen many sunny warm days.
The weather has been usually cool and even rainy.
Our fruit and vegetables have been aching for sunshine in order to ripen.
Each day I check the Weather App and smile as it tells me the high will be 80-85 and then as the day progresses my smile fades as the sun stays hidden and the temp doesn’t rise as predicted.
I keep hoping though that one of these days I will see summer arise again!
Afternoon Reverie
Enjoying summer in
Lavender adirondacks
Warmth of the sunshine
Seeps through ancient tree’s canopy
Ministering to my soul

(Visited the college today to get my books for the Fall semester and decided to take a walk around campus since it was such a nice day. Saw these lavender chairs and had to stop to rest in them.😊)
Like a Daisy
Not looking for fame
Nor fortune beyond my needs
Just a simple life

Functioning Faith
Planting mustard seeds
On my knees, moving mountains,
Breaking down barriers.
Senryu
Believe and Pray:
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Matthew 17:20 KJV
Patio Ponderings
The sun envelopes
Bees, birds and squirrels visit
Lazy summer day
Breeze carries children’s laughter
And sounds of the ice cream truck

Rock Your World
Plant inspiration
And cultivate kindness
Be the i in kind

My grand-daughter and I are enjoying painting rocks to “plant” in our Inspiration Garden.

From a Hawk
Heavenly reminder
God’s the giver of wisdom
Feather in my path
Haiku
Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?
Job 39:26 KJV
The hawk, a noble bird of great strength and sagacity, and yet a bird of prey, v. 26. This bird is here taken notice of for her flight, which is swift and strong, and especially for the course she steers towards the south, whither she follows the sun in winter, out of the colder countries in the north, especially when she is to cast her plumes and renew them. This is her wisdom, and it was God that gave her this wisdom, not man.
Matthew Henry commentary on Job 39:26 KJV
I happened to find a beautiful hawk feather in my path as I was walking last evening. It is said to be a sign of wisdom.
Speak Seeds
Twas just a few words
They caused a mind to think
A seed was planted
Senryu
Words are also seeds, and when dropped into the invisible spiritual substance, they grow and bring forth after their kind. –Charles Fillmore
(So then, be sure the words you speak are good words)
