Working through one creative mind
Marking day’s journey with words
Discovering everyday joy
Sometimes thoughts need to be stirred
Writing breathes through life’s marathon
Joining one more puzzle piece
Painting another sketch to share
Sometimes thoughts stir words’ new lease
Picking one theme to create from
Pouring forth from active voice
Sharing words’ unique perspective
Sometimes thoughts stir sharpest choice
Gathering daily momentum
Setting comfortable pace
Harvesting each page filled with words
Sometimes thoughts stir one more chase

Any author’s writing journey will feel even more fulfilling when he allows it to share his voice within the words he chooses.

From 2 Corinthians 3:17: “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”
Oceans of Father’s mercy
Flowing deep and wide
Replacing darkness with kindness
His eternal light, our guide
No mountain ever too high
Praising His glory
Entering Father’s safe fortress
His Word reveals our story
Calvary’s dark cross conquered
Viewing empty tomb
Looking to heavens, Christ risen
His grace spares life’s sinful doom
Eternity’s gate opened
Breaking evil’s chains
Following Jesus, freedom calls
His righteousness grabs life’s reins
Every precious life matters
Redeeming each heart
Nourishing with faith’s Living Bread
Father’s plan offers fresh start
From Galatians 5:1: “For freedom Christ has set us free. Stand firm, therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.”

Normally, Saturday’s post features “Trivia’s Facts and More.” The highway has led me to my native home of Montana. Enjoy this poem.
Heading west again
Leaving Buckeye land
Passing fields of corn
Highway’s singing band
Heading always west
Looking for blue sky
Small towns say hello
Highway time flies by
Heading west each day
Indiana waits
Illinois rolls by
Highway distance great
Heading ever west
Iowa belongs
Minnesota treats
Highway rolls along
Heading west for sure
South Dakota smiles
Wyoming roams free
Highway conquers miles
Heading west today
Montana’s hello
Big Sky welcomes home
Highway’s final show
My writing will be taking a well-deserved vacation while I wander under the Big Sky. My next post will be published on Tuesday, August 22. Everyone take care.
