Shared through countless scenes
Multitude of pages speak—
Creator crafts script
Nature’s adventure
Invited by Creator—
Endless dynamics
Each cherished landscape
Mother Earth sharing her gifts—
Creator’s vision
We are mirrors reflecting mirrors reflecting mirrors, showing one another what we can’t yet see.
We grow in connection with others.
Lori Gottlieb (born 1966) is an American bestselling author, therapist, and speaker.
Looking through honest lens
Working from novel ways
Encouraging chorus
Filling every hour with praise
Setting aside worries
Embracing revisions
Writing life’s next chapter
Seeing tomorrow’s vision
Stepping forward with hope
Gazing at clouds afar
Embracing each treasure
Reaching for another star
Tasting sweeter moments
Moving from perfection
Pursuing unique path
Mirroring heart’s reflections
In life, every ending is just the start of another story.
The writer must be universal in sympathy and an outcast by nature: only then can he see clearly.
Julian Barnes (born 1946) is an English writer. He has also written fictional crime dramas under the pseudonym of Dan Kavanagh.
Day’s quiet journey
Focus on vision’s outlook—
Seeing tomorrow
One more obstacle
Slowing down, being patient—
Sometimes life just asks
Walking endless maze
Life’s evolving transitions—
New door opening
From Daniel 1:17: “To these four young men God gave knowledge and skill in every aspect of literature and wisdom; Daniel also had insight into all visions and dreams.”
Life’s empty vision
Forsaking this heart
Empty days and nights
Waiting for restart
Wisdom comes forward
Warming this cold heart
Heaven’s power stirs
Blessing life’s jumpstart
Father’s divine Word
Lifting up this heart
Treasures of mercy
Bringing life’s kick start
Victory arrives
Restoring this heart
Wisdom’s vision breathes
Gracing life’s bold start
This poem is inspired from the blessed Irish hymn, “Be Thou My Vision.”
Waking up early on a darkened, rainy day
Unable to walk, disrupting my morn with gray
Turning off the news, craving a necessary break
Immersing in other blogs, with their unique take
Sharing thoughtful comments, here and there
Always reminded, so many people truly care
This stubborn mind stores much, obsolete clutter
Causing my mature engine to cough and sputter
Life’s music sometimes offers a stimulating tune
Witnessing other perspectives, into an afternoon
Discovering positive discussions, comforting my mind
Challenging me to see, steps lead to future grace to find
Life’s lens sometimes fails, entirely clouded over
Like searching for a four-leaf, in a field of clover
As a culture, broadcasting anew from many landscapes
Exchanging ideas, opening our lens to exciting escapes
Our Lord, fashioning in us a curious intellect to wear
Stepping out, witnessing life as others wish to share
Reading God’s Word, helping to clear the murky view
Seeing life through His lens, aligning honest and true
