Summer’s been sleeping,
Wasting her alotted days
Procrastinating.
Weather man keeps promising
Tomorrow for sure
We’ll see her warm sunny smile,
Yet so far it seems
She keeps on hibernating.
Will tomorrow ever come?

Fruitful
Abounding in fruit
Aged life forecast
Fresh and flourishing
Haiku
Based on Psalm 92:14
“They shall still bear fruit in old age;
They shall be fresh and flourishing,”
Cloudy Days
Promises
Of sunny days
Dissolve as the dark clouds linger.
Each day summer’s warmth is cut short
It seems.
Cinquain
This summer we have not seen many sunny warm days.
The weather has been usually cool and even rainy.
Our fruit and vegetables have been aching for sunshine in order to ripen.
Each day I check the Weather App and smile as it tells me the high will be 80-85 and then as the day progresses my smile fades as the sun stays hidden and the temp doesn’t rise as predicted.
I keep hoping though that one of these days I will see summer arise again!
Life Walk
My joyful journey
Brings me beside still waters
Trusting my Shepherd
To lead through pastures of green
Peacefully I stroll
Pockets filled with promises
Walking with my King
Over mountains high and wide
And valleys deep and narrow

My Life from A to Z
Alien
Because I was without
Christ, living in
Darkness
Ensnared, a
Foreigner to Israel, without
God and without
Hope, a gentile in
Israel and to all
Jews
Knowing not the
Love of God, believing in
Myths
Not knowing the truth
Of the wonderful
Promises of God
Questioning life’s purpose
Running from truth, a
Stranger to the covenant of Promise
Then, through God’s grace
Understanding the gospel brought me to
Victory in Christ, and I was a
Wanderer no more, a
Xenos no more, I belonged and was
Yoked to Christ forever in
Zion, the New Jerusalem.
Abecedarian
(Based on Ephesians 2)

Resting in Him
As my heart fills with perplexity
And threatens to overwhelm my soul
My minds fills with Your words to me
Comforting with precious
Promises so sweet
And remembrance
Of Your care
Towards
Me
Nonet
In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul. Psalm 94:19 KJV
Realistic Dreaming
In your search for a way to live your dream
Make sure its better than what you’ve got
Before you leave the pond and swim upstream
In your search for a way to live your dream
Make sure its not just an empty scheme
Promising you somethings that are not
In your search for a way to live your dream
Make sure its better than what you’ve got
Triolet
Like a Vapor
Empty words
Have no meaning,
No purpose.
Floating phrases
Warming the air with promises
Dissolve in thin air
