Birth of summer brings
Good cheer as warmer days and
Late sunsets are here.
I have just attempted yet another haiku challenge from Ronovan Writes blog using the words “birth” and “cheer”. I am enjoying the challenge of putting different and even opposite words in such a short poem.

Light streamed the top edge
Of my door; I wondered what
This day has in store?
I learned the answer
Clear and fair; God provided
For my earnest prayer.
A day of blessing
It came to be because he
Filled my heartfelt plea.
A plaguing problem
Needed a solution; solved
By his provision.
Oh how it had nagged
At me until I felt in
Deep despairing need.
I so anguished and
Agonized for days not quite
Trusting God has a way.
Suddenly a plan
Came to be as God seemed to
Say, “believe in me.”
And just as he has
Provided before, he soon
sent help to my door.
Why do I not trust
And believe that Jesus in
His love cares for me?
He who for my sins
Died so I may live in him
In faith and new life?
Why did I question
For days if God did hear when
I so wept and prayed?
I had doubted him
With a frown though he told me
to not be cast down.
His love is sure and
Everlasting; he always
There, ne’er forsaking.
Lo, he listens to
Me and answers in his own
Time so patiently.
Sweet peace now nurtured
My soul; must remember: God
Is ever faithful.
Whether at noon, morn,
Or at night, he’s my hope; a
Constant stream of light.

Walked on a path and
I heard distinctive chirps of
A red-winged blackbird.
Holding tight to reins of
Control; found I must let go
While on quest of hope.

Magical sunset
Reflection shimmers casting
A hopeful glimmer.
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.

Like a dragon roar,
The uninvited storm then
Thundered through the door.

Sun fades into night;
A dark reflection appears
Beneath the moonlight.

Step outside and breathe;
See the sunlit sky stretch out
Like the rolling sea.
Inhale the sweet scent
Of Spring with new grass and leaves
Vibrantly blooming.
Hear the wind blow; A
warm yet rustling breeze jostling
the tall dancing trees.
Feel the sun’s warmth as
It softly surrounds you in
It’s orange glowing hue.
Hark the song bird’s chirps
In melodious trills in
The forest and hills.
Look with hope upon
The sunrise letting it fill
Your soul searching eyes.
And let the peace of
This gentle beginning stay
In your heart resting.
May the journey of
This new day begin; a fresh
Though unearned blessing.
Savor the moments
Knowing each is fleeting and
Yet a treasured gift.
Stroll and wander on
Your way remembering this
Day that God has made.
Somewhere along this
Life’s journey is the one way path
To eternity.
