Worrying thoughts creep
Disturbing sleep
Fears rise steep
Calm hard to keep
Doubts start to heap
But faith runs deep
Causing joy to leap
Courage to seep
And victory does reap

Walking Circumspectly
Walking thru my day
Avoiding worry puddles
Watching where I walk
Stepping over the pitfalls
Of the fear induced cracks

Do Not Worry

Power Outage
As darkness creeps in,
Fear raises its ugly head.
Silence prevails.
I pray for a solution.
Suddenly light fills the room!
Tanka
The power went out this evening all over town. No one seemed to know what caused the widespread outage.
It was near supper time and getting close to sunset. Darkness was slowly coming upon us and hunger was also. The silence was deafening in my home as I’d become accustomed to hearing the sound of the refrigerator, computer and hum of other appliances. Time passed slowly. I wondered how much longer we all would be without the conveniences electricity brings. I tried not to use my phone in order to save the battery since I didn’t know when I’d be able to charge it again. I prayed whatever happened would get repaired soon.
And then, after waiting an hour and a half the lights came back on! What a welcoming sight! It’s amazing how dependent we’ve become on electricity isn’t it?
Arrayed Like a Lily
Wonder not,
Nor worry today,
Nor even
Tomorrow.
If Overmorrow arrives,
Give thanks to God
Shadorma
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Matthew 6:34
(Inspired by “The Word of the Day” on Dictionary.com which is “Overmorrow”)
Resting in Him
As my heart fills with perplexity
And threatens to overwhelm my soul
My minds fills with Your words to me
Comforting with precious
Promises so sweet
And remembrance
Of Your care
Towards
Me
Nonet
In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul. Psalm 94:19 KJV
The Promise Of Spring
Oh worry not weary one
Spring shall surely come
Winter shall soon be done
Oh worry not weary one
Spring’s life has begun
And winter must succum
Oh worry not weary one
Spring shall surely come
Triolet
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. Genesis 8:22
Color Beyond Better
Broken crayons still color
Broken hearts still love
Color your world bright
Color is beautiful
Love everyone
Love never fails
Bright spots attract growth
Bright days attract smiles
Beautiful smiles
Beautiful thoughts
Everyone needs a smile
Everyone matters
Fails are bound to happen
Fails are opportunities to try again
Growth comes from fails
Growth often happens slowly
Smiles are free
Smiles are needed
Smiles are upside down frowns
Smiles lighten up the world
Thoughts spoken can cause regret
Thoughts unspoken can cause regret
Smile at life, you only get one chance
Smile at life and things will go better
Matters of the heart
Matters of the mind
Happen to all of us
Happen unexpectedly
Again and again and
Again and again
Fails are just one time errs not failures
Fails are a chance to try something new
Slowly time goes for those who wait
Slowly time goes for the lonely
Free yourself from doubts trust God
Free yourself from worry trust God
Needed people who are friendly
Needed people who care
Frowns compliment garments of gloom
Frowns are smiles upside down
World needs your love
World needs your smile
Regret steals happiness
Regret steals time
Chance offers new opportunities
Chance offers new life
Better life can be yours today
Better take a chance before it’s too late
Better
Better
Blitz
#OctPoWriMo 2018
Whew! This is my first try at writing a Blitz poem! It was a challenge, somewhat confusing at times, and took me awhile but I enjoyed it and I will be trying this form out again! Info is below if you would like to try writing one.
The Blitz Poem, a poetry form created by Robert Keim.
This form of poetry is a stream of short phrases and images with repetition and rapid flow.
Begin with one short phrase, it can be a cliché. Begin the next line with another phrase that begins with the same first word as line 1. The first 48 lines should be short, but at least two words.
The third and fourth lines are phrases that begin with the last word of the 2nd phrase, the 5th and 6th lines begin with the last word of the 4th line, and so on, continuing, with each subsequent pair beginning with the last word of the line above them, which establishes a pattern of repetition.
Continue for 48 total lines with this pattern, And then the last two lines repeat the last word of line 48, then the last word of line 47.
The title must be only three words, with some sort of preposition or conjunction joining the first word from the third line to the first word from the 47th line, in that order.
There should be no punctuation. When reading a BLITZ, it is read very quickly, pausing only to breathe.
(Blitz poem info was taken from Poetry Soup website )
Again
I worried
And wondered although
God said don’t
Syllable Lune
Sound familiar?
God says not to worry yet again I find myself doing so.
God says not to wonder about the future yet I often do that too.
Why do I do that?
He’s shown me time and time again that He’s trustworthy, that He’ll always be there for me, that He loves me and cares for me, and wants to heal me and give me an abundant blessed life, yet when a new problem arises I somehow find myself lapsing back into worry and wonder.
Ah, “the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak” said Jesus (Matthew 26:41)
Forgive me God.
I love You and I am so happy that you love me and are patient with me.
…“Lord, I believe; help thou my unbelief” Mark 9:24
Copper Rain
Pennies from heaven?
It seems with each worry I find
A coin at my feet.
