CHALLENGE

Posted on February 6, 2018 by Leonas Lines

Queen Victoria on horse

Call out someone or thing

Hang in until your heard

Assert yourself

Leave out rudeness

Leave out negativity

Examine all sides

Now go forward

Goad your beliefs

Engage in action

Nevermore

Posted on February 4, 2018 by Leonas Lines

I’m a winner

Buried

My fear today.

As my courage surfaced,

Fear was put to rest, and is now

No more

WIND in all seasons

Dandelion Puff in the wind

Whispering

In the trees

Nipping at my nose

Dancing with the leaves

Overcomer

Posted on January 29, 2018 by Leonas Lines

Mountaintop Jumping Life seemed mediocre

As it sometimes can be

I didn’t sit and mope

But made hum drums flee

Rose up, did what i could

Actively fought mediocrity

Now happily I can say

There’s no more nonentity

Quietude

Posted on January 26, 2018 by Leonas Lines

Quiet. No speaking

Could it be that you

At times need to

Listen and learn, see and seek?

Two eyes, two ears can,

Relay thoughts better than,

One mouth can often speak.

National Compliment Day

Posted on January 24, 2018 by Leonas Lines

Bouquet of Flowers, compliments

Admire someone today

Bless them too

Compliments pay

Delights spew

Encouraging words say

Favors do

Give thanks or pray

Honor a few

Inspire not inveigh

Just give a hug or two

Kindness display

Laud anew

Make someone’s day

Nod out of the blue

Ovation convey

Praise imbue

Quiet gratitude portray

Uplift in the midst of ado

Visit to chase away gray

Write thoughtful words true

X-out actions that cause dismay

Yes, bless others all day through

Zip berating, give a kudos bouquet

Suspiration

Posted on January 23, 2018 by Leonas Lines

Tearful sad face

Tear in eye

Saying goodbye

Dont know why

Long deep sigh

I perspire

Lungs respire

I do aspire

To so inquire

Beguiled In the Garden

Posted on January 22, 2018January 23, 2018 by Leonas Lines

Girl in a garden with trees

Beguiled her towards the tree.

Yes, Beguiled her with trickery.

Charmed and Beguiled was she.

Serpent Deluded and Beguiled Eve

Towards tasting his tree,Beguiled!

Possible?

Posted on January 20, 2018 by Leonas Lines

Sunrise from space

Is it possible

To be in the world, but not of?

Yes it is, if we are in Christ

Katauta

… if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new

2Corinthians 5:1

Life in the End

Posted on January 19, 2018 by Leonas Lines

Sunrise over the earth taken from outer space

Living in the End Times

In the world but not of it

Have to admit it’s

Sometimes difficult

But it is always worth it

Tanka

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. 1 John 2
