More shadows of silence

Light hidden at high tide

Overlapped with mystery

Waiting, tomorrow’s blindside

 

Each unique human trait

Some filled with brilliant light

Others covered in darkness

One choice strengthens in flight

 

Embers from steadfast light

Arriving at low tide

Covered with hope’s lasting peace

No longer with saddened eyes

 

Today’s filtering voice

Gentleness coming forth

Praises all filled with goodness

Compass treasures light’s true north

 

Tomorrow’s joy arrives

Without any delay

Time’s faithful persistence

Welcomed light of grace now stays

Believing in Jesus

Faith built upon His love

Following God’s law

Hope sown from above

 

Walking in light with Christ

Faith’s strength breathes, as God planned

Conquering darkness

Peace fills each heartland

 

Beholding Savior’s grace

Faith’s cornerstone reborn

Seeing empty tomb

Redemption airborne

 

Hearing Messiah’s voice

Faith embraces His Word

Fearing no longer

Mountaintop unblurred

 

Weeping replaced with joy

Faith’s enriched Living Bread

Coming home at last

Trust forever fed

Monday Memories: Night

From Colossians 1:13-14 “He has rescued us from the power of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”

From the Creator, comes the day’s light

Why then, is there perpetual night?

 

Sin-filled darkness, traverses borders

Nations breathing endless disorders

 

Not a single country shall be spared

Few if any, seem ready . . . prepared

 

Partisan turmoil ignites unrest

Another sleepless night, minus rest

 

Social illness parks at each corner

Past ills, leaving many a mourner

 

Violence, injustice never pause

Out of this gloom, marches a new cause

 

Shroud of night’s blackness, tearing apart

Light conquers night, crashing our Lord’s heart

 

Blood-stained Cross, now-empty tomb proclaim

Son of Man, Son of God lights new flame

From Revelation 22:5:  “And there will be no more night; they need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.”

Autumn’s fading pulse

Winter’s joy arrives

Bearing gifts from darkness

Morning’s sky alive

 

Welcome transition

Wood stove’s warmth alive

Sharing gifts from darkness

Morning’s peace high-five

 

Clearest eastern sky

Alarm clock shows five

Yielding gifts from darkness

Morning’s grace now thrives

 

Crisp winter sunrise

Treasured light now thrives

Raising gifts from darkness

Morning’s spirit drives

 

Clouds moving away

Distant light shall drive

Bearing gifts from darkness

Morning’s breath survives

From Jeremiah 31:2-3:  “Thus says the Lord:  The people who survived the sword found grace in the wilderness; when Israel sought for rest, the Lord appeared to him from far away.  I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you.”

Bethlehem bears God’s Son

Enemy gives up chase

Spirit transforms faith’s lease

From John 10:14-16:  “I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and my own know me, just as the Father knows me, and I know the Father.  And I lay down my life for the sheep.  I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd.”

From 1 Corinthians 15:56-58:  “The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.  But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.  Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord because you know that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.”

From Luke 2:8-11:  “Now in that same region there were shepherds living in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night.  Then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.  But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid, for see, I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord.'”
