All Haiku
the moon would not shine
without support from the sun
ponder reflection
And we, who with unveiled faces reflect the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
2 Corinthians 3:18 (NIV)
with green, red, and gold
the autumn leaves strike a pose
charm without envy
a rare fall flower
does not know the winter waits
her faith in full bloom
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
Hebrews 11:1 (NIV)
on November fourth
he came to encourage us
after the hard freeze
In memory of Coach K.
Fellow micro poet, Flowintowords, from The Good, The Truth, and the Beautiful shared a haiku yesterday that is simply superb. I share it today as my weekly post.
Life Erupts (Poem)
sometimes in silence
uncrowded words speak the best
solitude and rest
line two was inspired by Matthew Richardson, writer of fine short stories and a fellow micro poet.
In the howling wind
a familiar voice: “Save me!”
I hear, and cannot.
He has made everything beautiful in its time.
Ecclesiastes 3:11
sunshine and stained glass
dried up drifted leaves aglow
God redeems The Fall
But I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself.
Jesus—John 12:32 (NIV)
*solitary hawk
on the second day of fall
his family, flown
When my father and mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.
Psalm 27:10 (KJV)
* The Mississippi Kite is a small hawk which lives and hunts in families. These birds arrive in our area every Spring, when insects are plentiful, and fly south the next Fall, when their food supplies dwindle. The bird in the photo must be too old, sick, or injured to join his family, who left for South America about two weeks ago.
