Hope
Slipping away
Light’s heavenly truth
Called to trust God
Embracing
Challenges
Encroaching darkness
Light’s heavenly fortitude
Battle shall be God’s
Overcoming
Faith’s
Enduring presence
Light’s heavenly breath
Fears evaporate before God
Persevering

Early morning darkness
Peace fills wakening mind
Gathering every word
Another light he finds
Candle flickers nearby
Aroma filling room
Harvesting one more thought
Imagination blooms
Pen continues journey
Filled with inner meaning
Opening up heart’s spirit
His garden now greening
Breath of past dropping in
Memories full of light
Remembering again
Solitude always bright
Blessed sunrise arrives
New day now waits to fill
Cascading to new page
Ripples from writer’s quill

God’s invitation to pray
Strengthening faith’s shallow roots
Blessing hope’s journey each day
Harvesting heavenly fruit
God’s mercy never relents
Building faith’s firm foundation
Sending Christ as light unbent
Kindling peace in each nation
God’s energized light exhales
Writing faith’s eternal hymn
Witnessing Calvary’s nails
Deepening closeness to Him
God’s approaching grace descends
Filling faith’s heart to now trust
Raising His Son’s love to mend
Redeeming through actions just
God’s unselfish approach heals
Trusting righteousness to lead
Living waters now reveal
Transforming faith’s hardy seeds
From Acts 3:16: “And by faith in His name, His name itself has made this man strong, whom you see and know, and the faith that is through Jesus has given Him this perfect health in the presence of all of you.”

Nature’s plot thickens
September’s story finished—
Revised with color
Days growing shorter
September’s warmth slowly cools—
Nights sleeping longer
Forgetting summer
September’s move to autumn—
Leaves express color
From the words of American poet, Helen Hunt Jackson: “By all these lovely tokens, September days here with summer’s best of weather and autumn’s best of cheer.”
