I wrote a poem today inside my head,
It’s positivity chased dread.
It’s words uplifted and carried,
Those dreary thoughts that tarried,
And freed my mind to see,
The joy awaiting me,
In a new day,
Where I may,
Start new!

Lifeless Log
Life passes by
Procrastinators remain
A motionless log

“Don’t sweat the small things”
When life tries to weary you
Keep up and keep on.
Senryu
If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan? Jeremiah 12:5
In a Flash
Youth was here and then
One blink and it was gone

Homelessness/Hopelessness
I sit alone
Watching the world
Passing me by
Wondering why
Syllabic Verse
Echinated
In the thistle patch
With nettlesome thoughts
Eeyore kind of day
Syllabic Verse
Monotonous Motion
Questioning my purpose
Walking everyday
And yet I’m going nowhere
On the treadmill of life
Need to stop and get off
That sad revolving belt
Get out in the real world
Find new paths to walk on
New voices to listen
To, and new faces to see
Realize I’m in control
Of where my feet step
I need to choose wisely
And plan future paths
Syllabic Verse
MONEY
Must have this.
One thing that is
Necessary for
Everything on earth
You plan to do.
Acrostic
As I was talking with a couple of my grandkids today, and listening to each of them tell me about their future hopes and dreams, this came to mind—MONEY.
Each plan, each action, each dream, they had depended on money. Money to finance a patent on an idea. Money to pay for a trademark, business promotion, etc, etc.
It is sad but true. So much of our future life depends on money, yet with God all things are possible, for He does not depend on money.
So I tell them if their plans, hopes and dreams are in line with what God has purposed for them, then He will make a way for it all to happen.
And with that knowledge and belief, they and any believer, can trust and expect that their future will be a good one that honors God and fulfills their dreams as well.
…The generation of the upright will be blessed. Wealth and riches will be in his house,… Psalm 112:2-3
“…with God all things are possible.”
Matthew 19:26
Destination: Barn or Bonfire?
Wheat grows among tares
Each nurtured by their source
Harvest separates
Haiku
Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. Matthew 13:30
