Oregon’s Evergreens – Arbor Day 2020
Stately they stand
Strong branches holding new life
Sheltered from storms
As wind and rain beat
Steadily upon their mossy boughs
Stately they stand
Green giants waving
Strong branches holding new life
All across our land
Some are chosen
As lumber to keep people
Sheltered from storms

“To exist as a nation, to prosper as a state, and to live as a people, we must have trees.” — President Theodore Roosevelt.
“Other holidays repose upon the past; Arbor Day proposes for the future.”

Palindrome
Since today is a “Palindrome Day”—9/19/19–19/19/9, I decided to write a Palindrome Poem.
Rooted in the Word
How long
The winds do blow
Upon my weary head!
I dig in my heels, standing firm
In Him.
Cinquain
As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him,
rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
Colossians 2:6-7 NKJV
Dorian
Prayers out sent to cover
Those its fury hath touched
Prayers sent up to gather
And bring winds of change
Turning the path’s course
To remain at sea
Syllabic Verse
Prayers for those in the Bahamas who are facing the destruction of Dorian’s wrath at this time.
Praying it’s fury will be lessened and it’s path turned out to sea so it will not make landfall anywhere else.
Tarry Time
New Year days in flight,
Flying away like fall leaves.
What is your vision?
Are your dreams anchored down,
To withstand the winds of time?
Tanka
And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry Habakkuk 2:2-3
Fall Fruition
November winds blow
And leaves huddle together
Raindrops falling fast
Haiku
Winds of Change
Winds of change
Blowing around us
Rearranging
Uprooting
Replacing old things with new
Wafting, swirling, winds
Shadorma
Like a Tree
When The Winds Change
