Broken
But not destroyed
For a new life emerges
A butterfly hidden within
Revealed

Love Your Neighbor
Hospitality
Speaks in many languages
Reaches out to those
Who take the time
To stop and listen
Syllabic Verse
On my walk today, just across the way, I stopped to take this photo of a sign in my neighbor’s yard. Something very nice but unfortunately unusual to see nowadays.
Walking in Faith
Is a burden wearing you down,
Like a heavy gown,
A weighted cloak or heavy yoke?
Are you being oppressed,
Or being tried to be blessed?
Is it just a test,
Or the enemy’s cruel jest?
Time and faith will tell,
If it’s from heaven or hell.
Rhyme
Senescent Serenity
Aged by life’s storms,
Yet displaying beauty,
No matter the season
May I weather like thee
Syllabic Verse
Un-Committed
Procrastination
Playing games with time
Putting dreams on hold
Complacent to rest
Up against a fence
Syllabic Verse
Seasonal Splendor
Abundance of life
Found in the ordinary things
The colors of Fall
Haiku
God’s Gameplan
Fall fades into
Winter white rest, Spring is
Life’s game changer
Haiku
Autumn Thoughts
Beauty
In the brown and gold
Tears for times
Past when we
Young and verdant without care
Lived the high life

November
Dressed in flaming red
Standing tall, yet she weeps for
The warm days of summer

Dear God
,
Do you see the real me
Beneath the heavenly skies
Leaf covered path
On my daily walk I pass by and over so many fallen leaves, some noticeable, some not. Some freshly fallen are filled with beautiful colors while some are withered, lifeless, or hidden beneath others.
It causes me to think that they are like many of us in this world. Some of us are more noticeable than others, perhaps more lively, active or attractive while others might be older, less active, or perhaps feel insignificant or hidden because they are covered in worries or burdens.
Just like the many leaves they may wonder if anyone sees the real them.
But the truth is that God does.
He sees us all, for that is one of His names.
In Genesis 16:13 it says “So she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, “You are ‘God who sees,’ because I have truly seen the one who looks after me.”
Hagar was a runaway who was alone in the wilderness with her child, she figured no one cared about her and she thought she and her son were going to die—alone….but God saw her and He spoke to her and helped her.
Matthew 10:29 says that not even a sparrow falls to the earth without God knowing about it, so I am thinking it must be the same for leaves and people too. He sees us all.
Everbody matters
For the clear truth is written
He’s “God who sees me”
