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
Flash Floods in the land
Fall has come to Oregon
The rains are back
Haiku
I think that i shall never see
Nor ever come to know
A time when I tire of poetry
And in it desire not to grow
Rhyme
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
Tribal flags fly proudly
At our State Capitol
Liberty and Justice
Stand together on this ground
Oregonians respect

Living with Deadlines
A Stressed, stretched schedule
Learning to juggle

Love Locks.
Symbol of two hearts
Committing,
Declaring,
Their love locked forever
For all the world to see
Shadorma

Beautiful bow
Arcing across the bright sky
Rising from storm’s shade
Haiku
Don’t give up
Be the change you want
Have courage
Always hope
Relax and take a deep breath
Life is important
Shadorma
( I happened to see this very inspiring display of Life Message Rocks at my local community college today and it prompted me to write this poem. )
As Moon shrouds the Sun
Crescent patterns cover earth
Shade of Eclipse
