Canopy


Canopy



A canopy overhead

People talk about 

Such lovely skies

But they miss

The other

A power grows

Above

So now instead

Of only puffy clouds

Feel that which is 

Growing stronger



Everywhere

As I stare

Upward

Alive, so, so powerful,

Your Presence

Filled with all

That is your essence

The Beautiful Reality

Of You

Praise You, Lord God



The light falls down

On my head, shoulders

All around

Nowhere can I go 

You are not

And so I stop

Bend to the knees

So I may please

The LORD of all



Throw back my head

Fears, insecurities I shed

To worship, to praise

Holy anthems, hands to raise

Toward Your throne

Waiting, joy-filled

Looking toward 

A heavenly home

Pulsating with Your Light,

Your Glory, Your Might

Forever!

Winds

Above is the below poem set to video and music. It’s also on my youtube channel at https://youtu.be/l3K1XIiPDXU Hope you enjoy. Have a blessed day and Praise God!

Winds

Winds of heaven blowing
Falling to bless
Rising back on praise
Turning eyes upward
We gaze
With hands upraised
In giving we receive

God needs nothing from 
Man
Unselfishly He sends
To all if they choose
His gracious, loving winds
Meant to teach, uplift
Souls to transform, win

For us this is His glory’s gift
And in those winds at times 
So powerful, so swift
received even thru stormy skies
Thunders the promise of
His Infinity’s Gracious Paradise!

The Deluge

Here is a short video of some of the water scenes along our town’s greenway system. I mixed one of my poems previously loaded onto my blogsite into the water video. Hope you enjoy and may God bless your day! This video is also available on my youtube channel https://youtu.be/HyC7laMEhDQ

Summer Sounds

I love the walk along our city’s greenway. It’s right on the river, and you get to hear the water and all the animals, bugs and sights that go along with all of the place. Here’s only a short video of some of the sight and sounds I managed to capture along with a short poem. Hope you enjoy!

Summer Sounds

Oh the joy of those
Summer sounds
Of water, birds, bugs
All types of critters on the ground

Of water roaring in its strength
Or just a lazier hot day’s trickle
Of this I will not dare to be fickle
I love all of this summer’s show

Try to take a break
From your daily rush
Do not let this world
On your soul’s wellbeing
Force a wearing attrition
Take the time to just listen
To your sweet Summer’s Sounds!

Beauty Sublime

Here’s a short, simple slide show of some photos I took on my bike rides along our greenway system where I live. Hope you enjoy and Praise God!

Beauty Sublime

Beauty Sublime
O’ for me sheer bliss
No matter the season 
Or the time
Lovely forms and colors
Upon his creation
God left one more kiss

Multitudes, varieties
No two exactly the same
To help us enjoy
And our senses to please
All this beauty
Was for man’s gain

So wander the world
Drink in its wondrous sights
Leaving it whole
Let it lift you to
New heavenly heights!

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Clear Waters

It is getting into the drier part of the summer so the water in the river is down lower than usual, still just as pretty just more shallow. Here’s a poem and have a blessed day!

Clear Waters

Clear waters flow
Revealing for all to know
What lies beneath their surface
Every swimming creature, pebble 
Even every hard stone
To everyone is shown
Thru its moving, reflective face

Christ’s heart is the same
To us, He longs, desires
To reveal His Royal Name
His innermost being
But we must be willing
To accept the truth
Waiting to be seen

So take the time to look
Inside His written book
Those scriptures that reveal
His heart, about us how
He truly feels
Beneath the surface
of His Living Waters
Flows the glory of your own life!
