while the cold wind blows
the budding trees do not mind
swaying either way
Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.
Romans 12:12 (NIV)

I'm just a regular guy who was
tempted to lose all hope but did not. It was God who made the difference.

on the other side
of sadness there may be joy
the flip of a coin
A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.
Proverbs 17:22 (NKJV)


grey clouds drift apart
cold’s biting wind passes on
warmth on my shoulders

through sunny windows
the wind makes familiar songs
on the chimes of change


the chilled morning fog
rises to the warming sun
reflecting fireside
Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.
Lamentations 3:22-23 (NKJV)

wispy chimney smoke
from a warm hearth and home
first day of winter

good news of great joy
one cloudy autumn Sunday
sunlight through stained glass
But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.”
Luke 2:10-11 (NIV)

through the morning mist
he walks across sodden leaves
into the silence

good till the last leaf
fall foliage painted dance
sky flutter carpet
