Setting sun like a
Glowing flame kissed the earth with
A good night blessing.
I have attempted yet another haiku challenge from Ronovan Writes blog using the words “flame” and “kiss”. I am enjoying the challenge of putting different and even opposite words in such a short poem. 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/
Once upon a warm winter day
When gladly the birds did sing
As banks of snow melted away
While melodious carols did ring.
When gladly the birds did sing
As the radiant sun steadily climbed
While melodious carols did ring
Filling the lofty, brightened sky.
As the radiant sun steadily climbed
Chasing away the blanket of clouds
Filling the lofty, brightened sky,
And softly caressing the dampened ground.
Chasing away the blanket of clouds,
The glowing orb continued to shine
And softly caressing the dampened ground
While also reaching the hearts of mankind.
The glowing orb continued to shine
Delivering a message of hope and peace;
While also reaching the hearts of mankind
To instill a gentle tune of harmony.
Delivering a message of hope and peace
As banks of snow melted away
To instill a gentle tune of harmony
Once upon a warm winter day.

North wind spins frigid
Air: water puddle freezes.
Where you step, beware!

New dreams, opportunities, and possibilities
Every day dawn’s a new beginning
Willing to wait and live by God’s love, mercy, and grace.
Yesterday is gone but lessons and memories remain.
Each bright morning is a treasured gift; each starlit evening a cherished blessing
Already looking forward in solid and steadfast faith
Ready to continue this life journey on the path of hope and grace.
Winter wind blows to
Fill all land and space til I
Can’t feel my numb face.
No more going out
In the cold; must stay inside
And let the wind blow.
Yes! Stay warm indoors
And dream of Spring when lilacs
Bloom and grass turns green.

Enter his glorious presence by prayer;
Meditate on his voice in his Holy Word.
Be open-minded with a teachable heart;
Remember the infinite truths he imparts.
Acknowledge and visit him through the day;
Center your thoughts on his nearness along your pathway.
Immerse in his saving grace and unending love
Never forgetting he watches over you from above.
Gently, gently he leads you like young sheep
From dawn of morn and while you quietly sleep.
“Your word is lamp for my feet, a light on my path.”
Psalms 119:105 (Holy Bible NIV)
Kiss and taste this Christmas season;
Enjoy quiet moments with God’s Son.
Remember and keep in your heart
How God promised his Son from afar
To descend from the glory of heaven
And dwell with sinful and erring man.
He arrived as a babe born in a stable
Where a manger of hay was his cradle.
He lived on earth to teach us about heaven
Where all who believe will live with him.
Baptized and touched by a descending dove,
He came to share with us God’s never ending love.
Though he died on a cross he also rose again
And has returned to the realms of heaven.
But as the Holy Spirit, he descends
To live in the hearts of believing men.
For all who choose to joyously believe
And this eternal gift of God has gladly received,
May your heart be filled to the brim
Of everlasting Christmas blessings from Him.
MERRY CHRISTMAS
