Dear lovely friends, it has been a tough year all in all, with the pandemic raging everywhere. But God is good and He continues to be Sovereign. Glory be to His name. I pray the holidays find you well and keep you safe.

Merry Christmas to you all and a Prosperous and Safe New year. Thank you so much for being part of my blogging journey. We are family now! 🙂

Joy

and one with the firmament
I croon out this joy

Done for Mindlovemisery’s Menagerie – Heeding Haiku with HA. This week we are to carefully analyze an emotion within ourselves, attribute a word to it and then let it out in the nature of a haiku or tanka. This is a re-work of an earlier poem. 🙂
Joy
my joy un-fettered
heart flutters in abandon
above snarling waves
but wait, I shall not drown.
for my praise is magnified
by echoes of gratitude
 2
my halleluyah
soars above buffeting tides
pummeling currents
 I refuse to be sucked in
I’m graced to be a victress

Posted in Challenges, Haibun
This week, the prompts at Ligo Haibun are the following quotes by Ingrid Bergman and Marilyn Monroe respectively: ‘A kiss is a lovely trick by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous’ and ‘ Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.’ I choose to go with Ingrid Bergman’s quote.
Nature’s Kiss
It’s a joy when Chris and I wake up every dawn to the beauty of the silvery dew drops glistening on the leaves and flowers in our yard. I’m always stunned gazing at the splendour of swaying colours in the cool breeze as they open up and glow under the kiss of the drops. Wordlessly, my husband then pulls me gently to him and kisses me ever so tenderly by the bedroom window, in celebration of such a wonderful gift from nature.
