The Change

Daily Prompt: For many of us, winter is blooming into spring, or fall hardening into winter. Which season do you most look forward to?

Dispelling ice from souls too long frozen

Ocean’s glimmer chosen for respite from the weary world

Changes come with dying splendor’s promise of the celebration

Of another time to seal away to rest,  a winter solstice,

Snowy embrace!

My God, inspire me

I can do so much more with you

Than I could do alone

Holy Spirit work through me.

Use me for your Kingdom’s name.- Lillian Lapoint

Wounded

I am tossed around

And my heart becomes wounded

Yet so many think

There is no wound to be found

Lord please heal this heart of mine!- Deb Maciorowski

Feeling Flat

One day I feel flat

When my life is still and dry.

God’s breath fills me up,

To the shape I need to be

To bounce for Him with my all.- Lisa Johnson

Wounded

I am tossed around

And my heart becomes wounded

Yet so many think

There is no wound to be found

Lord please heal this heart of mine!- Lisa Johnson

Yesterday I mentioned that I had encouraged C.cada’s artists to get their creative juices flowing by writing some poetry, using the Tanka rhythm,  and inspired by our monthly still-life. Here are some of the responses I got.

I have seen the light.

I have journied on life’s fight.

You are always there.

There is noone to compare.

Stay and sing within my soul.

Juggling Act

Herein lies the task…

Too many to be contained…

A reflection of…

My inner life and our times…

Working to keep all aloft.

Kicking, laughing, having fun

Throwing, falling, ouch!

Sweaty, dirty, getting hit

Playing free with abandon.
