Get Out of The Way
Get out of the way
A change is coming to stay
Growing closer each & every day
This world, HIS earth
God is going to shake!!
Everything around us
Everything that is now seen
Done away with
Will it be
Before our eyes
Will it flee
Death, evil, satan’s darkness
Prepare your hearts
Your very soul
To transform, change us
Save Us
Has always been
Christ’s deepest most heartfelt goal
But heed the ancient Book’s warning
All who refuse His Loving Voice
For you,
At His spectacular second coming,
Will be no more second choice
Put away, endlessly forever roaming
In infinity’s Pain-filled Outer Darkness
So prepare yourselves
Get ready
Remain in your faith
Ever-Steady
Watch as He comes
This One & Only Son
Once again to change,
Re-create His Earth!!
Knee Deep
There you are
Knee deep in those waters
Where most sense danger
And then run & scatter
Yet you have wandered outward
Seemingly without a care
All around you life’s flows never cease
But do not be so foolish
As to let all your follies increase
Beware those seemingly
Placid waters for now
Do not upward rise quickly
& underneath them drag you down
God still cries, holds out arms
To bring you home
Back onto a safer ground
Wishes for you to cease to roam
No longer within his voice’s sound
Or out of his love’s caresses
Leave those roaring depths of satan’s dangers
All those lurid temptations hold nothing
but the cunning voice of a stranger
Yield to Christ’s love flowing freely
In His bright blood on a cross
Step out of those cold dark powers
That carry only the pain of sin’s deepest loss
There is another level to existence
Unseen but not entirely unknown
Ever since we humans walked
Upon this spinning planet so green
lived under its sun, breathed in its air,
Of other beings were we fully aware
this other side was completely seen
Until we rebelled against its Leader
The One completely in charge
Ran everything, owned everything,
Loved everything & everyone
Decided to be our own Leader
Replaced God with man
Pushed Him aside to follow a deceiver
And the self’s desires
A schism, a chasm was created
Across which we cannot go
Now we turn our backs, harden the heart
To the things we should strive to know
Build webs of cables, darkened lies
Given by someone who only strives
To bring about our destruction
Entangled in this deceit,
We now ignore what we once knew
We encase our hearts in stone
Refusing to see the reality of You
The Owner, Creator, Lord & Master
(gave His life on our cruel cross)
Of this beautifully created Universe!
Twisted Beauty
Long and lithe
Luxurious
In your sensuality
Yet some would only see
A twisted beauty
Gnarled, darkened in spots
Your limbs still dance at
Water’s edge
Yet still of a life to tell
Do you quietly beg
Even though not nearly as bright
as those rainbow’s lights
Cascading upon a watery top
Once you were the same
As any other
Green, alive, strong
For those days perchance
do you still reminisce & long?
But I say with all sincerity
I find your beauty refreshing
Entrancing
It reminds us that life is life
No matter its age
Or regardless of the stage
Within which it is found
God’s love & care perhaps
May yet best be seen or found
Enwrapped around those
Who all their long life
Have best fulfilled the purposes
of His grace, beauty & His light!
I could not resist this shot of the contrast between the brilliant light of the day’s sun on the dark surface of the river’s water. Have a blessed day!
A Study In Contrasts
Would we know
Happy without sad
The good without the bad
Light without the dark
Or hot without the cold
Or even God if we had
Not eternal souls?
I do not think I have
The answer for such things
Or can even begin to truly understand
Only our God holds in His gentle hands
The reason behind all such things intendedin His eternity’s great plans.

In between the hospital stay and now my husband’s rehab clinic stay, I found a few minutes to take photos and write another poem. I hope you enjoy these and have a very blessed day. Praise God!
Fall’s Gilded Girls
Fall’s gilded girls
All in a row
Why would one ever think
In you resides no soul?
Your curly locks
Bright splashes of color
Adorn your heads
As upon no others
Some look at you and
See merely trees
But from only one glance
I believe is seen
The Spirit, the Soul,
If you please,
Of the one who designed
Your bright glistens & gleams
With a powerful hand and
With the greatest of glee
Your bright glories were created
By our God for all to see
And to know that they are truly loved
From His all-joyful Heaven up above
So for our pure pleasure it can be found
To be placed upon your yellowed brow
The brightest of creation’s most golden of crowns
