Writer's Notebook

Do you enjoy writing or reading poetry?  Most of the posts on Big Sky Buckeye are filled with poetry, but I also share short stories, photography, and a few surprises along the way.  You are invited to sit a spell and find something you like.  I enjoy sharing my curiosity through my writing.  You are welcome to like, comment, follow, share, or reblog a post.

The tabs at the top of this page offer quick access to my most recent posts and quotes. Additional tabs allow you to check out older posts dealing with the themes of Christian and general poetry, short stories, and other posts.

Big Sky Buckeye has been in motion since October, 2018. After retiring from teaching after 40 years, I was looking for a place to land. It has been a welcome blessing to meet other writers and readers.

My wife is also a gifted writer in her own right. She published her first book in July, 2025. With a theme of Christian family, BITS ‘N’ PIECES OF MY HEART, offers an outlet for her love of Jesus. The book is filled with short stories, poetry, and devotions for more mature readers. For younger children she shares energizing activities and fun songs. Her book is available on most online bookstore sites.

Tranquility’s Campsite

Journey always homeward
Strengthened with each sunrise
Leaving embers of darkness
Visions of tomorrow’s prize

Faithful compass leads on
Surrounded without light
Rising to face each challenge
Perseverance maintains flight

Soul’s courage reaches out
Destined to discover
Marching to harmony’s joy
Another hour uncovers

Tranquility’s campsite
Filled with memories past
Inviting blessed night’s rest
Single dream forever lasts

Many things I have tried to grasp and have lost. That which I have placed in God’s hands I still possess.

From 1 John 2:15:  “Do not love the world or the things in the world. The love of the Father is not in those who love the world.”

Tomorrow’s Hope

Touching each distant star
Heavens open with joy
Journey’s welcome radar
Preparing to deploy

Viewing horizon’s light
Landscape’s inviting scene
Echoes of spirit’s flight
Embracing all that’s green

Flowing from river’s grace
Life awakens from peace
Eagerly keeping pace
Fitting each puzzle piece

Scaling mountainous peak
World sharing its footprints
Tomorrow’s hope one seeks
Sharing every imprint

Hearing contented voice
Comfort softens each heart
Truth offers steadfast choice
Stepping into day’s start

Life is choices, and they are relentless. No sooner have you made one choice than another is upon you.

The battle of being mortal is the battle to maintain the integrity of one’s life.

Eternity’s Embrace

From Isaiah 61:1: “The spirit of the Lord God is upon me because the Lord has anointed me; He has sent me to bring good news to the oppressed, to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release to the prisoners.”

Every painful trial
Hijacking another heart
Spirit of God upon thee
His mercy shall impart

Comfort covers darkness
Hearing Father’s trusted voice
His deliverance at hand
Faithfulness shall rejoice

Each oak of righteousness
Raising Father’s grace-filled news
Salvation paid for through Christ
Redeemed through Heaven’s view

One more generation
Gathering upon God’s grace
Mourning replaced with gladness
Eternity’s embrace

From Isaiah 61:3: “To provide for those who mourn in Zion—to give them a garland instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the mantle of praise instead of a faint spirit. They will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, to display His glory.”
