Surrounds and protects me with his Light
Helps and comforts me day and night.
Indwelling Holy Spirit
Enables me to see and hear him.
Living each moment by trusting him only.
Depending on him for all I need today and for eternity.
Today as I sit,
Ponder and recline, a new
Haiku comes to mind.
I have just attempted yet another haiku challenge from Ronovan Writes blog using the words “haiku” and “mind”. These prompts from Ronovan can really be a challenge. If you like poetry challenges and haiku’s then I invite you to also accept his latest challenge at this link: https://ronovanwrites.wordpress.com/2015/11/02/
You are the everlasting Lord;
You make the sun rise
And hover in the vaulted blue sky.
You are the everlasting Lord;
You paint the glowing pink sunset
And let me know it is time to rest.
You are the Everlasting Lord:
You brighten each day with your light
Showing me which path to take; which way is right.
You are the everlasting Lord;
You are Creator of the heavens and earth
And each spring you create new life and give us rebirth.
You are the everlasting Lord;
You created the flowers and the trees
And pave the path for my daily journey.
You are the everlasting Lord;
You continue to watch from the heavens above
And live in my heart and instill me with your love.
You are the everlasting Lord:
You generously provide all that I need
As I trek through this world to my final destiny.
You are the everlasting Lord:
You watch over me as I sleep at night;
You stay by my side in case I awake in tears or fright.
You are the everlasting Lord;
You give us a heavenly view and new hope
Through the lens of your word; your own telescope.
You are the everlasting Lord:
You save and forgive me for all that I have done wrong
And wait to welcome me in heaven with praise and song.
You are the everlasting Lord;
Reigning forever and ever,
You are Lord.
Be still and be enveloped by his peace.
Be still in prayer; for his love and forgiveness you’ll receive.
Be still as the morning light filters in;
Be still and let this day gently begin.
Be still in the lull and quiet moments of the day
For they are raindrops of blessings along the way.
Be still when the western sun rests on the horizon;
Be still to absorb his glowing love and affection.
Be still as you lay awake in the depths of night.
Be still and know he is Lord and everything will be made right.
Just be still.
Secret hiding place
Amid the moments of darkened days.
Flowing with love and peace;
Eternal and everlasting.
Holy Spirit hovering near
And gently wiping away our tears.
Void in heart now filled with Jesus
Ever present; ever with us.
Never letting go;
keeping us forever beneath his shadow.
In the deep night when
I feel distressed, help me Lord
To find peaceful rest.
One bright autumn day
I strolled along a waterway
Where the river curved and meandered
As contently, I walked and wandered.
Although shallow and quite low
Beneath the sun’s brilliant halo,
The stream displayed a calm vivid blue
As hardly a current rippled through;
Nature’s own reflective looking glass
Embedded between rocks and rust tinted grass.
And lo! An amazing glistening surprise
That met my wandering eyes;
As I peered across the aqua blue stream
to see a cluster of vibrant gold trees
Standing poised as their finely dressed branches hover
Over the tranquil and ever gentle river
Which mirrored in glorious reflection
A scene of equal and brilliant perfection
Of the trees crowned in leafy gold majesty
Glimmering in the water below my feet.
Such was the scene of blazing autumn gold
For my eyes and memory to grasp and behold.
I slowly continued my contemplative trek to the path’s end
And reluctantly turned around to walk back homeagain.
And as I retraced my strolling steps,
I intently gazed so that I wouldn’t soon forget
This grand gift provided by peaceful nature;
A wondrous stroll along the Golden River.
“Trust me and remain
In good cheer,” God answers when
I call with new tears.
I have just attempted yet another haiku challenge from Ronovan Writes blog using the words “cheer” and “call”. I am enjoying the challenge of trying to use such seemingly different and even opposite words in such a short poem. These prompts from Ronovan can really be a challenge to the mind.

Jesus’ parables
Reveal heaven’s mysteries;
Must have faith to see.
“What in Life gives me the Most Pleasure?”
Today I sit and pause in deep contemplation
As I search inside my soul to truthfully answer
A mind provoking and piercing question,
“What in life gives me the most pleasure?”
This small mental quest indeed causes me to ponder.
Well I do enjoy being with friends and visiting family,
Traveling, and embarking on some adventures.
I also like reading, writing stories, and poetry.
I also anticipate strolling on long journeys
Into the forest, along a beach, or across a meadow.
Where in nature I might find some lovely discovery
And with my camera take some new photos.
But the most pleasing thing is quiet and lasting peace
In my mind and heart which only Jesus can give to me.
