I am Poetic Bloomings, ae freislighe

 

The Plumbline

 

Designed by my Creator,

To love Him, I am inclined.

His Spirit my translator,

But with free choice I’m designed.

 

 Sometimes I am defiant  ,

And fall a bit off plumbline.

On His grace I’m reliant,

And I am centered, sometimes.

Invitation

 

I come to You,

N ow a bit before dawn,

V ery hungry for You as

I stifle a yawn.

T oday, I’ll be busy as I usually

A m. I need to walk with You,

T enaciously, hand in hand.  

I love You, Lord Jesus,

O pen my eyes to Your grace,

N ow and always as I seek Your face.

Abstract/sound poem

 

Mermaids

 

Mermaids swimming out in sea

Loving what it is to be free

Romping, playing, laughing in glee

Reveling in hidden beauty

 

Glistening angel fish swimming by

Razor fish waving side by side

Dolphins and marlin leaping high

Living in wonder to the eye

 

Plants adding color to their home

Purples, reds, yellows as they roam

Rainbow-leaf seaweed shines like chrome

Lovely and wonderful biome

 

Mermaids swimming out in sea

Loving what it is to be free

Romping, playing, laughing in glee

Reveling in hidden beauty

To Live is Christ

 

Christ Jesus, my eyes are on You

You are it for me

One and true God

Understanding and forgiving

 

Forgiving, loving, living

Love that fills my soul

I invite You in to stay

Vine and branches

I need You desperately

Now and always

God help me abide in You always

 

Always filling me, stabilizing me

My life is in You. You are my

Eternal hope.

Fear Poetic Asides

 

Fear Versus Faith

Fear like sludge in the veins

Paralyzes, impedes, slows down

Life in general and specifically.

 

Fear grips and won’t let go,

Unless faith is involved.

 

Faith, like a hammer,

Pounds the fingers of fear’s grip

Allowing life to flow more freely.

Twenty, Twenty-five

The year twenty-five is winding up.
We have Christmas yet to go.
Plugging along and singing a song.
Did I reach my goals? I do not know.

I set goals at the start of each year.
Set out with what’s before me.
Singing a song and plugging along.
Thanking Lord Jesus who set me free.

Some goals have followed me through the years.
They remain for year to come.
Plugging along and singing a song.
I’ll just thank God for what has been done.

Wrapped Refrain

 

The One We Praise

 

The One we praise created us.

In Him we can completely trust.

His loving heart is pure and right.

He sent His Son to be our light.

We would do well to yield to Him and know His ways,

All faithful obedience to the One we praise.

 

Let’s praise Him now in sweet accord,

Inviting in our Holy Lord.

Let’s thank Him for the things He’s done,

For all good things beneath the sun.

He’s worthy, and omnipotent, to Him we bow.

We love Him for who He is, so let’s praise Him now.
