Becky’s Haiku: Passing Time

beach

Strolling along the

Beach; passing time by slowly

Sinking my bare feet.

I am still enjoying these poetic challenges: they are like brainteasers.  If you like word challenges and haiku’s then I invite you to also accept Ronovan’s latest challenge at this link: https://ronovanwrites.wordpress.com/category/haiku-prompt-challenge/

Ripples spread in a

 Widening quiver as a

Stone strikes the river.

By reason summer

Fades to autumn splendor; rhyme

Conveys fall wonder.

Becky’s Haiku: Hope and Up

052

In hope I depend

On Jesus, my friend; lifting

My eyes up to him.

The Narrow Bridge

052

Crossing the narrow

Bridge, I wondered what new place

Lay over the ridge.

Perhaps a meadow

Of flowers or a stream filled

With rippling water.

Or perhaps a new

Mountain to climb and reach its’

Peak to touch the sky.

Sometimes a problem

needing a solution and

I must trust in him.

Sometimes it is pain

And grief when sad news reaches

Me; must still believe.

In life I’ve learned each

day is a journey to lean

on Jesus only.

Letting him lead the

Way through the trials and

Triumphs each new day.

He continues to be

My Savior, Lord and true friend

For eternity.

So as I cross a

New bridge I’ll lean on him to

Reach that distant ridge.

Becky’s Haiku: The Lord Leads Me

The Lord always leads

Me even though I don’t see

His hand holding me.

He does forever

Stay in my heart this moment.

This hour and all day.

Teaching and even

Guiding me in his love while

Sitting high above.

In heaven over

The clouds and the rain reaching

With his outstretched hand.

He holds on never

Letting go while I rest or

Walk this road alone.

Raining sunshine to

Brighten my way so I know

This day he has made.

Angelic singing,

Like flowers blooming, sweetens

My innermost soul.

As time journeys through

Each year, I grow in lasting

Hope instead of fear.

Sunlight dazzled in

 The clouded sky; rays of hope

In the gray twilight.
