New day saying “hello”

Revitalizing voices

Inspirations aglow

Identifying choices

 

Horizon brightens, stirs

Reawakening today

Morning opens sunrise

Illuminating gateway

 

Daylight’s rhythmic tempo

Internalizing soundtrack

Soul’s eternal rainbow

Anticipating comeback

 

Sunset’s fading skyline

Evaporating outlook

Night’s taste of moonshine

Rejuvenating guidebook

Time So Precious

Clock’s movements quietly advance

Calendar pages keep turning

Realizing now, time so precious

Yesterday, never returning

 

Today, now galloping away

Each moment quickly discarded

Vanishing minutes tearing up

Uncertain time left unguarded

 

Tomorrow arrives much too soon

Yesterday feeling incomplete

Searching for one more treasured hour

Empty time becomes bittersweet

 

Distant dreams fill with missing days

Harmony’s peacefulness arrives

Pursuing extra, precious time

Delights harvested from archives

 

Morning sunrise gathers on time

Eagerness to explore today

Looking forward, cherished outlook

Every moment planning to stay

Always Half Full

Day’s outlook, full of delight

Never empty, always half full

Another day, taking flight

Tasting life with every spoonful

 

Journey receives cherished gifts

Each experience overflows

Another sunrise uplifts

Witnessing one more tender rose

 

Unsung people, work each day

Vivacious, energized with life

Another hour’s sweet ballet

Cooperating, without strife

 

Marked with every sunset’s wink

Never empty, always half full

Precious life remains in sync

Filling another cup, brimful

Keep It Simple

From Proverbs 15:15:  “All the days of the poor are hard, but a cheerful heart has a continual feast.”

Life draining, more exhausted each day

Skies and mind, filling with darkest gray

 

Feet feeling locked, stuck in deepest mud

Fear turns on its spigot, now a flood

 

Advice shouts from all comers, all sides

Inner soul overwhelmed, faith divides

 

Daily walk, no longer stunning bright

Chaos reigns, becoming lasting night

 

Seasoned man, parked at Main Street’s corner

Life hits pause, who is this foreigner?

 

His thoughts and words, simple in their task

Holy Spirit reaches, to unmask

 

Keep it simple, fill your life with love

God’s peace, bringing comfort from above

 

In an instant, the wise sage departs

Night transforms to day, love fills this heart

From 1 John 5:3-4:  “ For the love of God is this, that we obey His commandments.  And His commandments are not burdensome, for whatever is born of God conquers the world.  And this is the victory that conquers the world, our faith.”

Cleansing Rain

Autumn rains lasting for days

Covering the land with mist

Cleansing under cloudy haze

Rising pollen, now dismissed

 

Harvest pausing, farmers wait

Parking soybeans, left to take

Drying cornstalks, know their fate

Standing ready, combines brake

 

Creeks filling, slowly at first

Running water, sent ahead

Suspending reservoirs’ thirst

Pausing for now, winter’s dread

 

Nature’s perfect cycle breathes

Singing praises to the Lord

Watching as autumn unsheathes

Waking when spring comes aboard
