Sunset

Sunset in Summer
is filled with exotic wonder.
Watching it, carries me
on celestial wings far and above.
And the sun lingers,
as if in regret-- to unwillingly set.

In Fall hues are dramatic,
blue, yellow, purple and gray,
and the clouds...

Who Has Believed?

"Who has believed our report?"
Who is listening to the voice of truth--
restoring wholeness, making anew,
raising the dead hope from the shadowy tomb?
Who has awakened to His presence and might,
To I AM who's near, within and inside?

"And to...

Truth and grace embracing man,
overcoming sin and death,
Life empowers him to be
pure, whole, forever...

Risen

No more does darkness creep,
reigns not a gloom in heart
but light and heaven's glory
illuminate a path.

In Spring the buds await
the sun's first golden glow,
may we at Easter celebrate
resurrection, new-born hope.

A full abundant life,...

Only God can cause a living experience, to know our real self -- in Him-- and be separated from the "chaff" the unreal. You imagery is biblical and the Word of Christ works and lives in us when we receive it. "He came to his own and his own received him not but to all who received him he gave the right to become the children of God" the gospel of John. Be blessed

A powerful picture of separating the wheat from the chaff... the error from truth (almost like a NDE). I lived the imagery and the profound message of this poem.

Deep content in this poem! You clearly convey peace to be an illusive concept. I particularly like the last stanza.
In the war with Ukraine however there is just one aggressor and Ukraine simply defends its freedom. ( I apologize if I am dipping in political waters)

A very powerful poem that takes the reader right into the death trap of addiction. I almost shuddered reading it. "Siren's song" ... the images make the experience real.
