Sharing with dVerse…fits earlier prompts for list poem and sensory play.
hope smells
like fresh petrichor
of welcome spring rain
hope tastes
like first juicy tomato
of sun-ripened summer
hope sounds
like migration call
of swan o’er autumn field
hope feels
like flickering flame
of log in winter hearth
For in this hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
(Romans 8:24-25 ESV)

in prayer, quadrille, scripture Tags: grace, hope, love, shepherd, truth
Prayer in “quadrille” form, exactly forty-four words…link to dVerse Poets
Open my hands
to receive extravagant grace
Open my ears
to hear shepherd’s voice
Open my eyes
to see beauty of narrow way
Open my mind
to know transforming truth
Open my mouth
to speak words of hope
Open my heart
to love courageously.
Jesus spoke “Ephphatha!” to deaf/mute man (see Mark 7:31-37)

Doesn’t this beautiful photo of apple blossoms on orange background lift one’s spirit? One more day of NaPoWriMo challenge to write 30 poems in 30 days! A lot of mine were haiku/haiga 🙂

A promise to return
after darkness falls deepest.
Hope hangs on the eastern
edge of history’s horizon.
Nothing can stop the dawn
from overtaking night’s domain.
The whole sky brightens with
cloud colors of blazing glory.
Light reclaims this world and
we earthlings stare, illuminated.
That morning begs a question:
Will you fly toward Him…or away?
