Poetry
Great Northern
Great Northern fronts
Can be quite blunt
Blowing back and forth
With a kick, pass punt
–
Shock waves that sound
The chiming windmill
Which cannot behave
Then becomes still
–
With tears on my face
I tend to the mill
But I have fulfillment
In this long winters’ chill
–
Trusting in God
The key to my strength
Endurance, resilience
To go the length
–
Soft winter cloths
Caress nightly with salve
For this cracked deepened smile
At the frozen improv
–
Crisp sunny days
Leading love to the verse
Settling yesterdays’ bout
With the cold winters burst

Lessons
Time, it cannot melt the truth
Or wax itself unkind
I felt the pain, yet don’t regret
The love it left behind
–
The long long road
Built up in strength
Where God’s sweet mercy
Sowed in length
–
With needles hidden
Bound all wounds
Stopped the bleeding
Healed the pain
–
A place where all one’s pride
Must die
Where pity pays no mind to mix
Stupefying fights … all fixed
–
Where eye for eye and tooth for tooth
Give way for selfless mercies truth
Loves greatest lessons
To be learned
–
On the cross
The work is done
The victory in Christ
Already won

Sanctuary
I long for you my Jesus Lord
I walk into Your vestibule
My strength renewed, fully restored
Your grace is my refuge
–
In Your sanctuary sweet
I am sheltered from the storm
Your word, my sword, and shield
Your grace is my refuge
–
Your arms so tight around me
So soft and oh so warm
I am always safe…I’m with You
Sheltered from all storms
–
For Thou Oh Lord art with me
Above the dark deluge
My precious Savior Jesus
Your grace is my refuge

We always have to remind ourselves that Jesus is with us no matter how dismal the situation that comes our way. He is always beside us, behind us and inside us. He will never leave us. We need to let Him comfort us.

Continuously communicate with Him and tell Him how you feel. Trust in His perfect and everlasting love for you. Pray unceasingly. Let His Holy Spirit fill you. Feel the healing power of Jesus. Even on the coldest of days our hearts are kindled by the fire of His love for us. Ooh… It’s getting warm in here!
You are so loved!

Rest well my friend
Flickering Sun
The seasons revolution
Earth’s axis tilting up
Trajectory is lower
More shadows from the sun
–
Flickers supersonic speed
Strike the blinking lense
Blue eyes are a tearing
Fluttering with the wren
–
Wintertime needs not confine
More time alone with God
Frosted windows etching stars
Wood trips are good to trod
–
Do be very cautious now
The bird said, on the steed
Eyes ahead upon on the path
The snowy meadow treed

Have a great night friend
Keep warm! k
Strong Song
God love always keeps us strong
–
The sweetest sounds
Are handed down
The hardest love
Takes time to shine
Deep and mellowed through the years
They will surely calm the biggest fears
–
New green leaves grow on and on
Drawing trees up to the sun
As God sends love from up above
His faithful song to soothe the soul
Fill the hollows
One by one
