A letter to Seeker
Trying to gain the whole world
Hold fast onto your soul
A letter to a Heart
Seeking its life’s treasures
Choose your riches carefully
A letter to a Soul
Seeking to dwell in Heaven
Follow the The Lamb

A Savior who died for me

The Way, Truth, Life
Redeemer of my soul
The Wisdom and Power of God

Today’s #NaPoWriMo Prompt was to write a portrait poem about someone who was important to you. I wrote this about the One whom I love dearly.
It is a portrait of The Word based on:John 1:1, Matthew 11:19, Hebrews 2:11-12, Luke 2:11, Matthew 1:21, Matthew 22:42, John 14:6, Job 19:25, 1 Corinthians 1:24, Colossians 3:11
Where will you be at the last trump’s sound?
Will you be above or below ground?
Tis a question To consider…
Whether hither or thither?
However we ponder,
Of how we’ll go yonder,
We can’t know,
Til we,
Go.
Nonet
#NaPoWriMo 2017 Challenge today was to write a nine-line poem. I chose a Nonet, which I also rhymed.
Image is an “Angel’s Trumpet” Flower which I had the pleasure to see and photograph at a recent visit to a Spring “Garden Palousa” Event. The plant’s name caused me to ponder upon the scripture verse in 1Corinthians 15:51-52
“Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.”
A calm word went forth
Silently soothing a soul
Like a gentle breeze
Senryu
A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver. Proverbs 25:11
I am but a speck
One among a million lights
Yet the glow within
Dispels the darkness without
And brings hope to the world
Tanka
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 5:16
Teardrops
Fell over the years
Many tears, many fears
Yet He captured every one
God’s Love
Cinquain
You keep track of all my sorrows You have collected all my tears in your bottle You have recorded each one in your book. Psalm 56:8 NLT
A sweet melody
In the quiet of the night
His song comes to me
His song comes to me
And night and day I shall sing of
His lovingkindness
His lovingkindness
That He commands in daytime
Is my sweet heartsong
Senryu Cascade
The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, And in the night His song shall be with me—Psalm 42:8 NKJV
This very place
Where I once stood
Weak and frightful
Wondering if I could
Now I stand
And all’s well and good
I’m feeling strong
As I hoped I would
This brings the thought
Had I not in Him stood
If life now
Would be this good
It would not
For its understood
In His great strength
Is my livelihood
Rhyme
I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. (Jesus) John 15:5
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
Life is a mirror
Large or small, light reflects all
Nothing is hidden
Beauty or misery shows
Each heart beat of time exposed
Tanka
For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known. Luke 12:2
Venturing
Out into the cold,
Adventure
Awaits as
Frozen twigs snap beneath my
Heavy booted feet.
In the night
A weak little lamb
Strayed away
From the flock
Searching for greener pastures
Led by the enemy
My heart aches
But not from the cold
Rod in hand
I walk in
My Father’s Authority
Clinging to His Word
Fear tries to
Silently creep in
Doubt tries to
Overwhelm
But my feet are as hinds feet
And my mind is sure
Determined
To save the lost
I move on
To overcome
My face set like flint
Lord God is my help
Wintery
Brisk air fills my lungs
As I cry out
At the sight
Rejoicefully I carry
My long lost sheep home!
