Golden

Light
Dawn or night
falling
Warming air
Frost forming
Ice melting
Night gold
dawns a new day
of light

golden.

Ball of Fire

The ball of fire sets the sky,
My aching heart just stands by...

Ornamental

It's the time of year
Where many things come together
People, regrets, and time is spent
Hopefully forgetting what lays behind
And looking forward to the days ahead

The Christ child came to cover our sins:
past, present, future.
To give us new life...
To take out the heart of stone
And put in a heart of flesh.

Soften your heart to the precious child,
He comes to you this day.

May our ornamented season
Point us to the real reason
We celebrate at all...

Blessings this Christmas!

Gold Coming

There is a color
Gold
Where stories unfold...

Where people walked and treasure was hidden

In words
and gestures and
Expressions

and more
Pure gold
making impressions.

Where do you sit?

Where do you like to sit to relax?
What do you accomplish, any one task?
Do you sip tea, or coffee, or chai?
Or, simply watch the passersby?

What do you see when sitting side by?
The man, or the child, the women wearing pearls?
The elderly lady, her hair surely gray?
Makes you happy or sad to see her this age?

Whatever you think when sitting on down
will hopefully graduate to coming around
to joy and peace and hope for the future
afterall, this is only the beginning of your journey...

So, where do you like to sit to relax?
What do you see when sitting side by?
Whatever you think when sitting on down
Will hopefully graduate to coming around
to a better place,
the beginning face
with newfound grace
for the rest of your days...

Fire

There is a fire in the sky
And I expected it not
The rain had been falling
dogs, cats and whatnot.

We drove ever slowly
not wanting to leave
The tears were still staining
my shirt and my sleeve.

I chose a route known
by only my heart
And ventured again
at will my will to jumpstart.

May they not be here
if only others would be
Gently my heart seeks
to seek only Thee.

But, You know me too well
this existence can be so sterile
Until before me You unfold
After rain
Your pure gold.

You speak to my heart.

Lady Dancin'

Producing fruit in life. A challenge. A work that God does as we obey Him. How to obey Him better? That is often a very good question to ask.

I will ask again now.
