Rain Fall

Like a mean-spirited middle school boy,
Rain cut in line and wouldn't quit.
He tickled Fall too hard until she fell
in all her glory
in front of God and everyone
her tears of red and yellow  
whimpering "it was my turn."

Laughter was your color

and joy, your song

There was music in your heartbeat

and beauty came of the things you touched

whether ivory or floral

or gardens of plenty

You made everything sing

the glory of God

You listened more than you spoke,

gave more than you took

Blessed those around you

with gentle grace and encouragement

Dancing and singing

How great is our God

Now, your true dance begins

where beauty abounds

and as Mike said,

‘you will feel at home there.’

Trust

When the world says hang on,
and God says let go...
let go.

When the world says let go,
and God says hang on...
hang on.

Fall

please wait for me

to fall fully

reveling in wonder

bursting in that for which

I’ve waited

your chill can wait

until my color comes

and drinks fully

of the fall

Joining with d'verse poets where you will find the wonderful words of poets.

This Way

Maybe our path

is already paved with gold

and we don't see it

but for the cold, gray

grindstone before us.

Trudging through the muckity muck,

our headstrong self

doesn’t really know it all

after all.

Lift up your eyes

to higher ground,

grab your boots and

get out of the Way.

Do not call to mind the former things, or ponder things of the past. For, I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.  Isaiah 43:18-19
