I looked up high
To see the stars in the night sky.
I looked up high
To see the crescent moon’s pale light.
The sky turned pitch black by midnight;
A dark cape to hold the starry lights.
I looked up high.
A brisk, blowing breeze
Creeps up onto me
Today.
As I sit outside
In the late twilight
And pray.
Considering God
And his faithful love
I sigh.
Thankful to just be
Sitting quietly
This night.
The late afternoon sky resembled a
Tranquil and deep blue sea.
A hint of powder white clouds
Are floating by so effortlessly.
A crescent moon has settled on high
Like a heavenly nightlight in the sky.
The streaming sunlight continues to diminish
Being chased away by the encroaching darkness.
The air is cool as evening approaches
Reminding me to don on warmer clothes.
A quietness reigns in the brisk mountain air
With the soft chirping of a cricket choir.
I sat on the porch waiting in anticipation
To see all the stars that nighttime may bring.
Such a long time since I have seen
The stars at night so brightly shining;
Glowing and glittering in awesome wonder
While stretching above across the universe.
I shall sit and wait here in this still quietness
To see those twinkling gems before I rest.
Walking in the wilderness, I
Gaze with awe and wonder feeling blessed.
This world tries to guide
Me in lies of “liberty”
Til I’m mad, you see.
For I become too
Confused to see God’s Truth and
What is right for me.
So I hide in a
Solitary place seeking
God and his sweet grace.
I have just attempted another haiku challenge from Ronovan Writes blog using the words “guide” and “mad” and this time I wrote a three stanza poem. I am enjoying the challenges and I have no idea how he chooses the words to use. If you like poetry and haiku’s then I invite you to also accept his latest challenge at this link: https://ronovanwrites.wordpress.com/2015/07/13/
When a rainbow streaks the sky after the thunder and the rain
Is a time to remember that God keeps all his promises to the end:
Remember Jesus as the Son of God and Lord
And he will also remember us according to his word.
Always faithful: God’s love and faithfulness never end;
For once he’s with us, he remains as our Father and friend.
Individual and personal as he calls us each by name
While through the ages, his deep love remains the same.
Never forgetting: as we live a new life with Jesus,
God promises to never leave nor forsake us.
Blessings and kindnesses he will gladly show
By answering our prayers and giving us lasting hope.
Omnipresent: God’s unseen spirit is everywhere;
In our hearts and in the breeze that filters the air.
Whispering in the soft wind at night, he reminds us of his word
As we lay quietly in that stillness remembering he is Lord.
Living Forever
In the
Bountiful Blessings of God
Eternally free
Redeemed and resurrected from our life of
Transgressions and wickedness, to live forever
Young but loving, caring, and wise in His everlasting kingdom
HAPPY JULY 4TH EVERYONE!!
Looking towards the unknown future, God
Gives me firm hope to press forward.

Red: Jesus’ blood was shed on the cross so my sins may be washed away in forgiveness.
Orange: Like the brilliant glowing sunset, Jesus’ light is brightly shining within us.
Yellow: As the day dawns with morning sunlight, Jesus’ presence stays with me as my guide in life.
Green: He’s the Good Shepherd keeping us in his scope; He watches and gives us eternal hope.
Blue: Like the clear sky that stretches with no end, so it is with heaven, God’s everlasting kingdom.
Purple: Jesus arose from his grave victoriously and will reign forever in glorious majesty.
