Morning’s Mystery

Posted on February 2, 2023 by bigskybuckeye

Transforming night’s darkness

Morning’s mystery calls

Covering land with mist

Sunrise waiting, now stalls

Spirit’s sentinels stand

Towering, leafless trees

Daybreak’s silent twilight

Catching whisper of breeze

Sharing message of peace

Stillness joining crisp air

Breathing with day’s fresh hope

Spring waits as winter’s heir

Time forgets to advance

Hitting snooze, stardust reigns

Nature’s one vacation

Filling cold-blooded veins

Freezing rain descending

Sleep’s final ticket home

Chilling another day

Winter ready to roam

Years Ago

Posted on January 28, 2023 by bigskybuckeye

Hidden in forest’s midst

Ancient homestead’s landscape

Under winter blanket

Wakening, day takes shape

One more snowy morning

Old barn wrapped up in white

Barely able to stand

Making for quite a sight

Corral broken, rails split

Livestock forever gone

Snow-painted grass smiles back

Waiting for spring’s new fawn

But wait, life still stirring

Chimney’s smoke drifting high

Rustic cabin’s fireplace

Warming urge to drop by

All welcome, step inside

Plenty of room to share

Coffee’s hot, feel at home

Sitting on kitchen’s chairs

Hilltop looking back down

So many years ago

Memories slowly fade

Covering up in snow

Winter’s Evening Cue

Quiet fog whispers

Hanging above trees

Clouds resting on pines

Mist wanting to freeze

Landscape’s gentle peace

Transcending spirit

Now wanting to rest

Stillness, now hear it

Time ready to pause

Watching scene outside

Afternoon nap calls

Sleepy thoughts collide

Awake, look outdoors

Falling in rhythm

Fresh flakes floating down

Snow’s algorithm

White transformation

Mesmerizing view

Nature’s snowy blanket

Winter’s evening cue

If we expect God to work according to our timetable, we’re likely to face disappointment. Ours is a long-term walk of faith.

From Hebrews 11:1-3: “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. Indeed, by faith our ancestors received approval. By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was made from things that are not visible.”

Charles Swindoll Quote

God doesn’t tell time as we do. He does remarkable things, regardless of our time of day. He will leave our particular Red Sea absolutely closed, without an opening, without a sign, until He has finished teaching us the lessons we need to learn.

From 1 Chronicles 16:27: “Honor and majesty are before Him; strength and joy are in His place.”

Richard Halverson Quote

God has a time for everything, a perfect schedule. He is never too soon, never too late. The when of His will is as important as the what and the how.

From Galatians 4:4-5: “But when the fullness of time had come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, in order to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as children.”

Generations marching

Clock’s hands never stand still

Time’s traveler journeys

Years navigate downhill

History’s recorder

Passport to each event

Time’s traveler writing

Every book’s contents

Stories fill with people

Exploits reign paramount

Time’s traveler sees all

His recollections count

Worldly landmarks indexed

Mile after mile recalls

Time’s traveler postcards

Destination now calls

Energy never sleeps

Chronicles each step

Time’s traveler breathing

At library’s doorstep
