The time is very near
Christ is returning soon
You who have ears please hear
The time is very near
Soon He will appear
Maybe morning, night or noon
The time is very near
Christ is returning soon

And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. Revelation 22:12
Perfect peace.
Provided by
The One in who created me.
His workmanship, encased by
His love.
Cinquain
This poem is based on Isaiah 26:3. I have prayed that verse many times over myself at night before shutting my eyes to sleep and as I read that verse this morning I wondered for the first time just what the original words for “perfect peace” were. An interlinear word search showed me that both words mean the same, or as we would say “shalom shalom” the highest peace possible. What a blessed way to sleep at night!
When the morn’s nigh
On His strength rely
Seek Him on High
When day’s done
Oh weary one
Seek the Son
Syllabic Verse
Into the the world
He came one quiet night
As just small baby
Nondescript, invisible
Yet He changed things forever
Tanka
A world in darkness
Laid silently
Until Heaven arrived
Into the silence
Of the night
A Light came forth

Full Moon
The night sky hovers
The trees raise to greet
Strawberry Moon glows radiant
Tonight

In the dark of night
Kaleidoscope reveals
Broken dreams and tears
Yet the promise of new life
Appears amid the fragments

At the end of another day
Counting my blessings

August tried to warn
Us of her impending move.
She sent us cool drafts,
Chilling memos of warning.
Yet, wrapped in sweaters
We missed her exiting.
Undercover of night,
With just the moon as witness,
Fall bearing September came.
