Breath is a blessing
Our life is but a vapor
Thankful for each breath
Senryu
If you have ever lost your breath for a moment I am sure you can relate to this poem.
Having recently had an asthma attack that literally took my breath from me for a few seconds was very scary and made me realize how precious each breath I take is.
Life is short, breathe it in and give thanks for every breath!
I walked along with Happiness
We smiled and laughed all the way
Filled with carefree bliss
We skipped with light hearts
And when the road got rough
We clung to Joy
Kept smiling
And found
Peace
Nonet
Raining roses
Droplets of color
Red, yellow,
Purple, pink
Cascading as confetti
Roundabout my feet
Shadorma
A coterie member
Revelling in the darkness
Lover of the night
Senryu
A war
Rages roundbout,
Tis tween good and evil.
Saints, are you suited up to fight
The war?
Are you wearing the Armor of God?
Is every piece in place?
Are you standing
For Him?
Butterfly Cinquain
Steady Hope, never wavering.
True to His Word.
Enduring to all generations.
Ardent Hope, always
Dependable, dedicated,
Faithful, firm, fixed.
Abiding hope, long suffering,
Staunch, sure, stable, ever
Trustworthy. This is our God.
ACROSTIC
This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast,
Hebrews 6:19
Distressed?
Oppressed?
Obsessed?
Depressed?
Repressed?
Suppressed?
Get rid of all those stresses
Banish all those presses
Remove all those sesses
Get rid of all those stresses
Add some blesses, progresses,
Impresses, and successes
Get rid of all those stresses
Banish all those presses

One after one
He listed my failures
Accusing
Fault finding
Until my Advocate’s blood
Washed him away
Shadorma
In Him [Jesus Christ]we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace. Ephesians 1:7
How many roads have you trod
In those earthly shoes?
Though worn and weary yet you’d plod,
How many roads have you trod?
Through city streets or soggy sod,
Doin your best, payin your dues,
How many roads have you trod,
In those earthly shoes?
Triolet
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind, The answer is blowin’ in the wind.
—Bob Dylan
Happy 78th Birthday today to Bob Dylan!
Breathe deep and dream!
Breathe deep, and face that fear!
Things aren’t futile as they seem,
Breathe deep and dream!
Life is just a balance beam,
Forward steps bring victory near,
Breathe deep and dream!
Breathe deep, and face that fear!
Triolet
