As children
Playing board games
Innocence sparkles
Without igniting flames
Daily joy
Nourishing trust
Every hour brightens
Happiness never rusts
World ignores
Destroying hope
Daylight now darkens
War viewed through every scope
Man’s nature
Mapping each clash
Nations torn apart
Battlefields burned to ash
Future doubts
Flowing with tears
Children’s hearts saddened
Tomorrow’s constant fears

Darkness of morning
Massive thunderstorm gathers—
Waiting light of peace
Nighttime without joy
Storm’s anger now exhausted—
Brilliant sunrise
Today’s windy breath
Questions about tomorrow—
Navigating hope

Every day begins with an act of courage and hope; getting out of bed.
Reality is the name we give to our disappointments.
Mason Cooley (1927-2002) was an American professor. As an aphorist, he was known for his witty expressions, which articulated accepted truths about life.
Big Sky Buckeye has been growing since its inception back in October, 2018. My enthusiasm for writing continues to fulfill the frequency of its posts.
Lately, I’ve been falling behind in keeping up with readers’ comments shared on my posts. In addition, I want to devote more time for reading and commenting on other bloggers’ sites. This interaction with readers and writers is essential for my own personal journey.
I have decided to make changes in the frequency of my daily posts. Instead of posting each day, Big Sky Buckeye will feature posts on alternating days of each week.
This week’s posts will be published on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. The following week’s posts will be published on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. This alternating bi-weekly schedule will continue in the coming weeks.
I appreciate each of you so very much. God’s peace be with you all.
From 1 John 4:9-10: “God’s love was revealed among us in this way: God sent His only Son into the world so that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins.”
Lost in darkest wilderness
Uncertain where to turn
Truth’s light marked with God’s love
Finding hope’s blessed return
Sky above filling with light
Destiny of Christ’s gift
Assurance of God’s love
Trusting, no longer adrift
Every breath of Spirit’s grace
Heaven’s light to behold
Radiance of God’s love
Removing sinner’s blindfold
Together at Calvary
Who can be against man?
Forgiveness through God’s love
Knowing from where light began
Every heart redirected
Strengthened from faithful light
Steadfast stream of God’s love
Redeeming on mercy’s flight
From Romans 5:3-5: “And not only that, but we also boast in our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.”
