Autumn says good-bye leaving us gifts to bring new life back to the earth. Praise God for the workings of nature!!
Dying Breath (Haiku)
Leaves float on water
Brown, dying, hint of new life
Fall, enrich the earth

Dying Breath (Haiku)
Leaves float on water
Brown, dying, hint of new life
Fall, enrich the earth

I saw these red berries on the greenway the other day. They’re everywhere this fall. Just thought I would try my hand at a haiku to fit this photo. May God bless your day!!

It was beautiful yesterday in my part of the world. The sky was a crystal clear blue with no clouds. The sun was out, and it was cool but not too cool. I could not resist a photo of one of the gorgeous trees. I hope God blesses your day. Praise God!!
Fire Goddess
Tentacles reach
With at first timid
Gestures toward space,
That crystal blue dome
Above the flames.
Fiery red, consuming
Summer’s older green
Pledging life
Although different
Yet just as good.
The goddess blows by
Whispering their names
Touching, brushing
With her burning hands
And brilliance, her spirit.
Consuming flames
Brilliant reds, golds,
Oranges
She touches, flings,
Breathes out her power
Over life, more colorful
Exuberant from her
Passing by.
Her gift of this last glory
Before the cold sleep
Returns to place a
Blanket of chilly rest
Upon the trees, ground
And airy sky.
Insisting on being remembered
She moves on, painting
Slinging bright colors
Unavoidably in plain view
Every warm hue
Possible from an earthly palette.
She will not be
Overlooked, extolling
her beauty without words
she sighs, simpers,
fully satisfied with this self
she is, will be.
We see, enjoy, grateful
For a last beautiful bliss
Before winter’s icy fingers
Destroy her unrelenting work.
We look up. Stay, stay
We beg. Tell us your
Name
Pleading we listen, hoping
To learn what to call
This creator of glorious color
Even if only temporary.
She stops in passing, hesitating
To reveal, at last relinquishes to
Whisper. . . . Autumn.

I hope you have a very blessed day!!
Alive !!
Glory, light
Flying, encircling
A golden crown
Face and head of love
Fully alive.
Joy sings
From voices
Shouting your name
Bliss at the foot of
Your throne
Ecstasy unknown below
Fills
Spirit lands with warmth
Beauty
Throbs, pulsates
From your Face.
All shout for
Joy
Voices above
And below!
Your fingers bend
To caress
Earth to bring
Loved ones home
To save, replenish
Nourish
This world starved
For your love!

Radiant
Glory, soft, gentle
Radiant on a face
Purity once encased
In flesh
Extends a hand
An invitation
Never forced.
Join
Become one with
The eternal
Lifting he sighs
Longing to give
Show, eternity
Inscribed upon
His face, Holy
Joy, all life
Beaming from a
Head enveloped
Within a crown
Of radiant pure glory.
Light dances,
Rainbow’s colors
Revolve around
His Head of grace
Wanting, desiring
To give more than
Imagination can speak
Of Himself
Spirit of all life, joy
Contentment, fulfillment
Love, peace beyond
The scope of a cruel
world’s grasp, deluded
blinded by an evil one
ancient enemy of life
cruel and destructive
Take the offered hand
Receive the gift
Written in blood but
Yet still offered
Life, eternity awaits
All are welcome
No restraints, barriers
Join the dance
Joy, bliss, ecstasy
At the foot of a
Throne of forgiveness
And His radiant face.
I hope you have a blessed Sunday. Praise God!!
Life’s Creation
A breath above, spoken word sent out
Spreads, thoughts coalesce
Take form, into the
physical
Transcendent wind
Blows from, beginning at the
Gates of power radiating off His face
Images, wishes formed within a Father’s heart
Become concrete, written in
The outlines of energy,
Light
Moving, spinning, coming
Together, suns, planets twirl
Laughing, His pleasure overflows as He looks
Sees how easily ideas become hardened into
A home for creatures, small and
Great, springing into
Reality
Rocks harden, form
From fire, water springs, gurgles,
Rises from the gathered dust of an earth’s
Thickened crust, left stable, solid enough at last
To walk upon, empty at first, but
Waiting, hoping for new
Life
To begin, anticipating
Eager and yearning, for a type of
Joy unknown until His fingers caress the
Surface of its spinning face, revealing, giving
Transforming barrenness, a word given
Trees bend, flowers bloom
Winds
Move across this aspect of
a new world yearning for more creation,
Work of His hands to be revealed upon this exterior façade
Smiles, joy burns within winds being blown by a voice
In power speaks, light expands, a form
Struggles to move then stops, a
Breath
Is gasped, a hand reaches up
Seeking its beginning, from whence it
Came, blindly knowing within it exists not without
The love, power floating overhead, singing within
Songs unheard before this first breath
Taken, started, thought of
Created
Anticipated, hoped for,
Longing to share, releasing all that is good
Into this place made for, created only to be & dance within His Love
