Why is it just so hard
For some to tell the truth?

Breakthrough
A feeling of hope
Arises from the gray mist
Sun shines through the trees

Summer’s Last Day
Goodbye Summer.
So sad to see you go.
Enjoyed the
Warmth you gave.
I’ll miss your daily presence,
And sunshine and flowers.
Shadorma
Which Gate?
Wide gate
Opens to pleasures,
Worldly fun,
Care-free,
Yet it ends in destruction,
And utter darkness.
Narrow gate
Is chosen by few
Difficult ,
Obstacles,
Yet leads to everlasting life.
Which gate to choose?
Double Shadorma
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matthew 7:13-14
Pause to Praise
Is your life full
Of good things sent from the Lord?
Abundantly blessed,
Crowned with tender mercies?
Have you been divinely
Healed, Forgiven, Redeemed?
May you never forget
To always praise the Lord daily
For everything He does for you
Choka
Based on Psalm 103:1-5
Fire’s Aftermath
Plight of the forest
A terrain caked in ash
Smoke filled air
Choked by blackened trees
Smoldering and empty of life
Tanka
Tree’s Lament
I am a tree
I am a living thing
I hurt when fire touches me
I am a tree
From fire i cannot flee
Nor any protection bring
I am a tree
I am a living thing
