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
In a fog
Vision limited
Life’s walk
Vaporous
Purpose seems to be unclear
Light lifts and reveals
Shadorma
Burden’s gone
I’ve been set free
From sin’s snare
And death’s grip
I sit in the heavenly places
Safe at Jesus feet
Shadorma
Word Prompts: Float, Light, Burden, Free, Meaning, Sublime
What do you see?,
The sun shining bright
Glorious
Flecks of gold,
Streaks of light streaming downward,
Or darkness creeping?
Shadorma
Step by step
You will make it soon
Fortitude
Certitude
Determined steps always
Keep moving forward
Shadorma
This poem is based on an experience I had this summer where I faced a block walk up a steep hill, i had already walked nearly 4 miles, it was a hot day, I had no water with me, there was no place to stop and rest. I was tempted to quit, turn around, give up, but I didn’t and I am glad. It was difficult but I made it, slowly, one step at a time. And, as I look back now that was one of my best days, as I felt I had accomplished something that at the time seemed impossible.
Sometimes life is that way. Sometimes we want to just quit, give up, stop caring, stop trying, for just getting through the day seems like we are walking up a steep hill, with no place to stop and take a break, no refreshment or reprieve in sight, but if we keep moving forward, slowly, we will make it—one step at a time.
Never. Ever. Give Up.
Once again
Autumn visits us
Abounding
In color
Leaves fall at her entrance
Blushing from her touch
Shadorma
Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower. —Albert Camus
Do you like me,
My mind, my thoughts inside?
Respect me
Internally,
Or the shell which I reside?
I’m more than that.
Shadorma
Giving thanks
All along the way
Friendly note
Flower blooms
Little blessings in my day
Cup of joy runs over
Shadorma
Chasing thoughts
That swirl like clouds
High, lofty
Low, gloomy
Casting them down in Christ and
Captivating them
Shadorma
casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, 2 Corinthians 10:5
He speaks to me
In my infirmity
Feebleness
Shall not reign
I am fresh and flourishing
As His Strength triumphs
Shadorma
They shall still bear fruit in old age;
They shall be fresh and flourishing,
Psalm 92:14 KJV
