Our Next Family Reunion

just yesterday we were laughing
crying having a good time
remembering what was given to be together
our life was meant to be
and just like that.......

gone.......

GOD.......

just.......

and just like that.......
sleep sleep sleep until Jesus comes
but just like that when we all
get to Heaven our song
remembering our promise we'll cast our Heavenly crowns at Jesus feet

Prayer

Time is running out
Experiencing shipwrecked hope
Prayer is all you need

Jack and Jill

Jack and Jill Went Up the Hill, I Don't know what they did,
Suddenly Jill ran down shouting, i-pill, i-pill, i-pill...

Longing Paradise (Haiku)

Longing paradise
I rubbed sand in my long hair
Leaping in the air

Love

Love has to grow
Sometimes a bit faster
And sometimes a bit slower

But in any way deep enough
To hold for a life time.

Ressurection (Haiku)

Mindful is madness
Mindless mannequins baffle
Steady stream of flies

Trapped in burning light
Painful electrocution
Pesky human plight

Zapping to a crisp
Attracted in blinded faith
Antidote to sin

Greater by design
Most darkful persecution
Guilt that lies within

Cast over water
Departed spirits will fly
Life begins again

About this poem:
Once again I am confounded by constant ressurection of life from one life form recylced into another life form through cylces of death and darkness and life and light spinning and falling like a shooting star or a bug on fire.....whatever existed before will exist again.

A few Haiku Poems

Lily pads floating
Tranquil waters undisturbed
Beauty of Nature

Icy mountain tops
Glistening in the sunshine
Snow begins to melt

The sun sinks slowly
Dipping into water’s edge
Traces of color

Sunset streaked skyline
Painted with artistic hand
Lasting but moments

Eternity (Haiku)

On the edge of time
one step eternity calls
home I shall be then

Morning

Morning light calling
together our voices raised
sweet heavenly sound

Only One

ONLY ONE

Three ladies I admire the most,
For whom I would like to host
A party for the women three
To get acquainted, you see.

Three acres is all we need,
Airfare included for all three.
Into the night we shall speak
As aquaintance we will seek.

Morning light doth come too soon,
As light fades from the moon.
Breakfast smells soon awake,
As we discover what's at stake.

Homeward bound we soon go,
With thoughts aplenty not for show.
Lots to think about, one to choose
Only one will suit the muse.

Alphabetically, start names of three.
C and J and L makes just three.
Anyone would be just fine,
One of these to wine and dine.

About this poem:
The blog asked who we admire the most, so I wrote this poem in code to show who I like on CS. I really like these three women, and this poem expresses the desire to get acquainted.
