Haiku – Early Spring Haiku


Today was fairly overcast but without the sun, it was nice and cool. Couldn’t resist some more flower pictures from the riverwalk. I even managed to get a red cardinal to pose for me. The locust bushes were heavy with white flowers, and there were cascades of honeysuckle flowers everywhere. Their sweet smells were heavy in the morning air. Have a blessed day and Praise God!!!
The sun finally came out from behind the grey clouds this morning, and I decided to take the camera out for a few pictures. The wild flowers are just starting to appear in larger numbers. I love to see that although I do not know the types of flowers they are. Some of the small, white daisy-like ones had tinges of a pretty pink to them. There were several large fields full of the white and yellow flowers both. I guess the big question is whether the chiggers and the ticks are out too! Have a blessed day and Praise God!!

No More Death
(no such thing)
On a hill, long long ago,
A poor man
Died
Once for all
Abolishing death for all
If you choose HIM
Carrying Eternity within
Himself
He allowed us to destroy
His earthly body
In order to recreate
A perfect body
A new man
Living forever in
Glory
Resurrected to wait
To return us
And all nature
To
Its original glory
The rocks, trees
Even grass
Will sing a
New song
No more death,
Decay
All will live
Every plant, human
Animal
In perfection’s glory
And new obedience,
To Worship!!

Yes, I am going a little stir crazy! Because of my age and health issues, I am weaker than most people. I have had a few rounds of chemotherapy and taken off my hormones so I still have issues of fatigue. Naturally, I have stayed at home to keep away from the corona virus. But I am getting a little tired of staying away from other people.
My husband in his kindness drove me around town so I could take a few pictures of the beauty of this spring’s flowering trees. I don’t know exactly what kind some of them are, but I do recognize the tulip poplars and what we always called pink bud trees. God in the midst of troubles still delivers beauty in His natural world. Praise God!! I pray you have a very blessed day.
