He always works it out
I dont know how He does it
But I know He does
Senryu
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28

Everyday Life
While the world is falling apart
My neighbors and I are building
Relationships, gardens, and ideas
In our little corner of the world
We are making the most of each day
That we have to build friendships and
Create beauty while we can
No not burying our heads in the sand
But focusing on the positive
And ignoring negativity
We live sensibly in unity
Praying, trusting in theLord and doing good
Syllabic Verse
I Don’t Know
I don’t know the why
But I know the One who does
He sits upon high
I don’t know the when
But I know the One who does
And He knows the time to begin
I don’t know the how
But I know the One who does
And I’ll trust Him in the now
I don’t know the where
But I know the One who does
And He’s already there
I don’t know the end
But I know the One who does
And I’m glad He’s my friend

Perfect peace.
Provided by
The One in who created me.
His workmanship, encased by
His love.
Cinquain
This poem is based on Isaiah 26:3. I have prayed that verse many times over myself at night before shutting my eyes to sleep and as I read that verse this morning I wondered for the first time just what the original words for “perfect peace” were. An interlinear word search showed me that both words mean the same, or as we would say “shalom shalom” the highest peace possible. What a blessed way to sleep at night!
Provision
At a time when
Gatherings are discouraged
Sparrows meet together
Feasting on food provided
By their Father in heaven
Tanka
Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Matthew 6:26
(Seeing these birds in the parking lot at my local grocery was a great reminder that God will provide during these unstable times and like the birds I should not worry about what I will eat or drink.)
World’s Spinning Wheel
What I’m hearing so unreal!
Things happening so surreal!
So to God I appeal,
Ask Him To reveal,
Just how I should deal,
With this strange ordeal,
And still try to be genteel.
He said “ Don’t let it your faith steal,
Nor let fear loudly peal.
My word is true and real,
And My hand can surely heal.
So don’t live by how things feel
For to Me all things must kneel.“

Be Still
Let go
Be still and know
Rest and trust Him to empower
Breathe in His wonder and sweet song

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10 KJV
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
Choka
(Based on Psalm 23)
Living Life
Living in an imperfect world
With imperfect people
As we struggle to survive
Searching for answers
With imperfect people
We walk, talk and dwell
Searching for answers
Only God can help us achieve
We walk, talk and dwell
Climbing mountains
Only God can help us achieve
Are we willing to trust Him?
Climbing mountains
Living in an imperfect world
Are we willing to trust Him?
As we struggle to survive

#NaPoWriMo 2019–Day 26–Prompt: Today, I’d like to challenge you to write a poem that uses repetition.
Faith
Not once, in all times I’ve cried,
Coming to you broken,
In sorrow on bended knee,
Heart burdened with pain,
Not once, have You not heard.
Yet, of certain things
You’ve not replied though
In tears I ask again and again.
My heart knows as I walk
Taking steps my eyes can’t see,
That someday soon You will answer,
Fulfilling things hoped for
By this trusting soul, for
Not once, have You not heard.
Sonnet (Modern-unrhymed)
(Based on Hebrews 11:1 and 2Corinthians 5:7)
