Randomly in my head
Thoughts abounding
Think on these things
God’s word reminds me
I take thoughts
Captive in my head

Finally brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:8
The excited butterfly
Shouted at his friend below:
“Fly! Reach for the sky!”
“My time has not yet come”
Said the waiting caterpillar.
Tanka
In its own appointed time, eventually every caterpillar will fly, for it will transform into either a butterfly or a moth.
Perhaps that is the same timing for some people, therefore we should not judge.
To everything there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven:…
Eccl. 3:1
“Abide in Me” He said
And I try to Remain
When my flesh groans instead
“Abide in Me” He said
“Wait on Me, do not dread,
Endure pruning’s pain”
Abide in Me” He said
And I try to Remain

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. John 15:4
Accept His word and you will
Bear fruit abundantly as you
Inhabit and
Dwell with Him, you will
Endure all seasons of life

The hustle and bustle
On the city sidewalks
Disappears from view
As the two weary travelers
Seek shelter in a stable
Tanka
And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Luke 2:7
Overcome by
Evil doers
Who will take a stand?
In slavery to
Wickedness
Who’ll stand against it?

(Revision of Original Poem published in September 2019)
His Star
In the Eastern sky
Was a sign
Of His birth
Pointing towards Bethlehem
Leading Wise Men
Shadorma
Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.
Matthew 2:1-2 KJV
