in list poem Tags: glory, colors, sky, night, afternoon, morning, dawn, paint, evening, wash, dusl
He paints pale pewter twilight
with splash of blood-orange dawn;
a wash of lemon yellow morning,
with buttermilk clouds layered
on cornflower background,
blends to tangerine afternoon;
then, sweet lavender dusk which
transforms eggplant evening
into deep indigo night.

in music poem Tags: day, gift, LORD, love, morning, sing
every evening i rest in you
grant sleep to those you love
every morning i’m still with you
awakened by Spirit above
rejoice with the sun, the dawn is breaking
come greet the new day the Lord is making
every day is a gift from you
give me a song to sing
every moment is breath from you
give purpose to everything
rejoice with the birds, the day is breaking
come see the new day the Lord is making
every blessing comes from you
good gifts from God above
every morning given by you
our generous Father of love

Dear God, why does everyone have to die? One by one, we leave this world cold and those left standing feel abandoned, depressed, hurt, and angry. We know that you understand deep emotion. After all, you lost your only Son…and that son wept at the grave of his friend. We believe you mourn with us. Yes, our final enemy wields a cruel stinger but you took the sting out of death for Uncle Raymond (“Rip”). You called him quietly in his sleep; he passed unexpectedly, without suffering. Thank you, Father, for your mercy, even in his final breath. We grieve but he rejoices, celebrating in your presence today; reunited with his wife, son, and sisters. He fell asleep in mysterious darkness and woke to a glorious morning!
Raymond (right) died in early morning of brother Willis’ 90th birthday (8-18-18)

waking teenage boy
in morning proves real challenge
he’s wired to sleep sound
after three alarms buzz on
you will find him still snoozing
“What time did you go to bed?” is my first question 🙂 Join Elsie’s weekly tanka challenge at Ramblings of a Writer.

“O Lord, in the morning you hear my voice;
in the morning I direct my prayer to you and watch.”
Lord, in the morning
under shadow of pines
you will hear my voice
sunlight filters through forest
in distant sky, eagle soars

if i could write
the story
of us,
i’d wake up
to you next to me
every morning
and watch
you breathe
regular
and gently
trace the edge
of your angular
shoulder blade
and feel your
warmth
even before
we sleepily
embrace,
entangled…
