Some words spoken
Float past us like wispy
Feathers in the sky
Nebulous clouds bringing doubt
Uncertainty and confusion
Tanka

Some words spoken
Float past us like wispy
Feathers in the sky
Nebulous clouds bringing doubt
Uncertainty and confusion
Tanka

Each day
Above us loom
Clouds of uncertainty
Attempting to blanket our hope
We sigh,
And then,
We see the sun, our smiling friend,
Appear, chasing the clouds,
Restoring hope,
And life

April’s thirty days
Filled with uncertainty
Are history
Senryu
Goodbye April 2020. You can claim you were the first full month of the pandemic.

My mind wasn’t focused on You
Like a leaf in the wind
It swirled and twirled
And got carried away
To wander in places of doubt
Coming to rest on the fence of indecision
Caught in the fear of unknown
Where it began to wither away
Without purpose
Until the force of Your divine breath
Caused it to stir, awaken, and break free
To soar to higher places
And sit in the heavenlies
At Your feet
Soaking in the truth of Your word
Now it’s a mind renewed
To do good works
And walk in Your Spirit on earth
It no longer wanders aimlessly
Blown by winds of uncertainty
For it awaits resurrection
Where it will live forever
On the tree of life.
