Springtime Blues

Ceaseless, overnight rain

Early morn’s swollen creek

Flowing outside its bank

Nature ready to tweak

 

Smaller tributaries

Never to be left out

Gathering their volume

Flood’s growing runabout

 

Cloud’s river of moisture

Lengthy, not finished yet

Forecasting gloomy skies

Weather’s headlines typeset

 

Sun planning its comeback

But not for day or two

Waiting with humble song

Nature croons springtime blues

No Longer

Facing life’s challenges

Decisions needing to be made

Stepping with confidence

No longer feeling afraid

 

Listening to own heart

Negative thoughts fading away

Taking positive steps

No longer leading astray

 

Flexing new attitude

Tomorrow inviting fresh start

Letting yesterday go

No longer filling sad heart

 

Leaving darkness behind

Choices finding healthy outlets

Loving new direction

No longer bringing regrets

Dreaming of tomorrow’s steps

Opportunities abound

Knocking now on hope’s doorstep

Unwavering faith aground

 

Staying awake and alert

Opportunities waiting

Willing spirit to assert

Seeing Father creating

 

Counting each heavenly star

Opportunities shining

Searching each earthly bazaar

Lauding Father’s designing

 

Taking more time to observe

Opportunities praising

Fulfilling notice to serve

Accepting grace . . . amazing!
