Walked on a path and
I heard distinctive chirps of
A red-winged blackbird.

Message of the Silent Sun
Shimmering over the glistening water
Is the glowing distant sunset
Casting down a glimmering reflection
Of vivid yellow and gold.
Sitting above the shadowy tree line
Appearing suspended as it hovers
While mirroring a watery reflection below.
Oh how since creation of this universe that brilliant orb
Has kept its assigned place through the centuries,
Decades and years; months, days, and hours.
The ancient star today remains in silent yet illuminating continuation.
As if prodding me to also persevere and endeavor
In this journey of life in quiet peace and hopeful celebration.
Becky’s Haiku: Rein and Quest
Holding tight to reins of
Control; found I must let go
While on quest of hope.
I have just attempted yet another haiku challenge from Ronovan Writes blog using the words “rein” and “quest”. I am enjoying the challenge of putting different and even opposite words in such a short poem.

SPRING DAY
Sun shimmering light brightens the crystal blue sky
Purple lilac blossoms emitting their fragrant perfume.
Rain fed grass glistens like sparkling green Depression glass.
Ivy plants and trees sway ever so softly in the breeze.
Nesting robins call and sing forming a musical chanting ring.
Gentle warmth surrounds me like a soft cloak of perfect peace.
Dandelions dot the emerald lawns displaying their lemon hue at morning’s dawn.
A quiet walk along the tranquil street proves to be a pleasant journey.
Yielding my still heart and mind to the presence of God; holy and divine.
Becky’s Haiku: Glimmer of Hope
Magical sunset
Reflection shimmers casting
A hopeful glimmer.
Cloudy Cloudy
Cloudy cloudy;
The sky is gray and pouty
Threatening to weep and rain.
Hidden from sight
Is the sun’s orbed light
As raindrops fall again.
Thunder, thunder
And flashes of lightning wonder
Peal across the darkened sky
Streaking crooked paths
Against the cloudy mass
In electric zigzag light.
Rainbow, Rainbow
Arching over the dewy green meadow
After a long and stormy night.
Inspiring chirps of gladness and hope
across the forested slopes
Beneath the blue crystal sky.
Morning Prayer
As I quietly pause to pray,
I asked Jesus to be with me today.
For at the start of each morning
I am preparing for a new day’s journey.
What each day has in store
Is only known by the Lord.
Must keep on trusting him
To lead me safely home each evening.
Where I can sit and be at rest;
With gladness and peace I am blessed
As I know by faith God is still with me;
Holding and keeping me for eternity.
Becky’s Haiku: Lightning and Rain
Lightning flashed across
The stormy sky while rain dripped
And drizzled outside.
A dark and gloomy
Day filled with clouds and peals of
Thunder claps aloud.
Tis nice to remain
At home inside where I can
Watch the storm and hide.

Pressing Forward
Stepping towards each tomorrow,
Set aside sorrow;
Let hope reign for the future.
Days and nights will soon follow
Beneath sun’s shadow
And the pale moon’s faint glimmer.
Let joy enter that hollow
While peace, like marrow,
Fill the heart’s deepest chamber.
Another Gloomy Day?
Clouds were thick and gray;
Dreary morn to my disdain.
Even so, God told,
“Do not be dismayed.”
Quietly I sat to pray
For his help to cope
On this darkened day.
He then brightened my pathway
With his Light of Hope.
Isaiah 41:10 (Holy Bible New International Version):
“Do not fear for I am with you; do not be dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help me: I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
