Distress

in my distress

I seek your face
beyond the blue vastness

a whisper, just a breeze
will do
for this soul on fire

Living Water

a droplet of water

as if from the branches
soothing my parched soul

spring of living water
a covenant
that I thirst no more

APED – Prompt 39: Thrill

Tags

Christianity, Jesus Christ, Nature, thrill

Done for Gilly and a A Prompt Each Day. Inspired by the following words and photo

Thrill

remembered days

are a filter in my mind

seeping with long forgotten snippets

of words laced with the echoing tenor

of promises broken

but those golden moments

of a lull

in breathing

and a hush

in the singing of birds

that glorious moment

when the dew is still fresh on the blooms

and I’m hypnotised by the beady shimmers

time stands still.

those moments

when from fluffy clouds

breaking through the dawn

I hear your whispers

in the gentle swaying of palms

I hear your voice

in the aroma of melodies 

brewing from the mahogany

behind my window

that moment

I sigh in exultation

You thrill me, Lord.

Haiku Horizons: Cut

Tags

Christianity, cut, horror, Iraq, ISIS, Islam, terrorism, war

Done for Haiku Horizons. Today, my haiku is about the pain I’m having in my heart, a physical one as I saw videos of the horrors going on in Iraq. Please if you have the time, visit Lotenna Blog. Kindly note that the pictures are disturbing, to say the least.

cutting, lingering

ache sits on my heart, I bleed.

oh ISIS, what next!
