Not once, in all times I’ve cried,
Coming to you broken,
In sorrow on bended knee,
Heart burdened with pain,
Not once, have You not heard.
Yet, of certain things
You’ve not replied though
In tears I ask again and again.
My heart knows as I walk
Taking steps my eyes can’t see,
That someday soon You will answer,
Fulfilling things hoped for
By this trusting soul, for
Not once, have You not heard.
Sonnet (Modern-unrhymed)
(Based on Hebrews 11:1 and 2Corinthians 5:7)
Wet Footprints
Two hieroglyphics
Imprinted
Two symbols
Upon two rocks temporily
Ponder the meaning
Shadorma
Today my grand-son and I were outside in my yard taking some pictures of him before he left on a trip to do a show in Seattle. He is a music artist who performs hip hop. The grass was wet as it had rained earlier. As we walked back to go inside we had to step on some river rock I have near my patio. I happened to look down and saw that our shoes had left some strange looking imprints on various rocks. Two rocks in particular I noticed as looking like having hieroglyphic symbols on them, so I snapped a couple pics. Upon doing an internet search on hieroglyphic images I came to see a somewhat similarity to the symbols for Peace and Family, in some images of the Chinese alphabet, and family peace is something that I recently have been praying for. Is it too far fetched to think these wet shoe markings could be telling me we are taking steps towards Family Peace? I am not one who believes in co-incidences and I see meaning in many unordinary things. So I am led to believe perhaps God sent this as a sign to us.

Unexpected riches appear
Multitude of gold
Haiku
As my heart fills with perplexity
And threatens to overwhelm my soul
My minds fills with Your words to me
Comforting with precious
Promises so sweet
And remembrance
Of Your care
Towards
Me

In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul. Psalm 94:19 KJV
I saw Spring today
Peeking out from her winter place
A Purple Crocus
Haiku
Where shall I go
With this bag of dreams
I must choose steps
That will transport me
To the reality
Of an empty bag
Syllabic Verse
Oh worry not weary one
Spring shall surely come
Winter shall soon be done
Oh worry not weary one
Spring’s life has begun
And winter must succum
Oh worry not weary one
Spring shall surely come

While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. Genesis 8:22
Thinking
Of all women
In the recent past times
Whose feet tread upon injustice
An stood
Some silent, but unwavering
Strong upon their beliefs
Of equal rights
For all

I’m fighting
The urge to not care
To give up
Abandon
All the minutes given
Me to use today

O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; Psalm 63:1
A phenomenon
The sky was speaking tonight
In soft blues and pinks
Haiku
Sunset tonight in my area must have been spectacular for as I looked out my North window I saw an amazing sky layered in blues and pinks. I can only imagine what the Western sky displayed!
