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.

steady cold Fall rain
wind-driven on the window
a still candle burns
Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.
Romans 12:12 (NIV)

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

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.

Do you like honey? Don’t eat too much, or it will make you sick!
Proverbs 25:16 (NLT)
weary crescent moon
finds a welcome place to rest
waning is hard work
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
2 Corinthians 4:16 (NIV)
a bike on the rocks
two lighthouses grin: “look, look!”
at water’s edge
