On Theology

There’s a reason
For the seasons
And why the sun
Is outside…

~*~

Do you think
God put a wink
In water’s ripple
Just to invite us in?

~*~

God put laughter
In children after
He put a skip
Into a song

~*~

God gave poets poems
As a chance to show them
What’s right
About our world

~*~

If you like this
He would like it
If you kiss a poem
And tag it on

~*~

Dedicated to Nightshade

So much beauty to take in,
Sometimes to stop feels like a sin,
A kiss and a touch,
Like natures caress,
So beautiful and sweet,
A blessing nothing less .

Kari darling sister of my heart this is utterly utterly perfect, do I like it? I love it your words are so beautiful, they cover my soul with wonder. You are an amazing writer and your images are simply divine. This is truly amazing the reasons HE gave us a soul and love, as always you’ve painted the picture so well. I love this utterly. And my prayers go out to Nightshade, be well soon darling girl.


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh

He gave us dreams
so that we would know hope
when they came true
He gave us joy

when they did not
He gave us strength

To those who see
               bare branches....
           and know they hold the buds of spring

to those who see
    stars falling in the heavens....
          and know the constellations will remain forever

            to those who see
                         long lines of snow geese
                                      fade far beyond....
                   and know they come back again to nest

            to those who Believe
                         with wonder in their hearts....
            and know....what glories there can be

                              for those who Believe.

I give to you the strength of heart
and wisdom of my many years
I help you hold, not take apart
I wipe away your tears

I pray for you a prayer of peace
and hope and so much more
I give to you and want release
of pain from your mind's door

I say to you a tender thought
I hold you ever close to me
I know not what God has wrought
I'll just walk on faithfully

HUGS Chris...get well soon little lady...

God made morning people
to wake evening people
otherwise, nothing
would get done

God made differences
catch the inferences
this is why
you caught my eye

~*~

Snippets of thought
walk the talk
lending hands
a simple command

have you ever
     looked at the sky
        when there wasn't anything
                  in it
and found
             beauty??

then
     you've seen
the face of God

and He's seen you

don't forget
          to say "Hi". . .


you always know how to inspire my friend. . . and that's why you're special. . .

You're so right dear Sunshine...once again!!

From where I stand I see the thaw
and on the frozen floor
the sun upon the glowing crust
is glistening wet and pure.

Upon the marbled rolling hills
the glossy snow drifts ride;
there is no place nor earthly thrill
like greenwood springtime life.

A musty scent is on the air,
I lift my head and breathe
out of the sky I seem to hear
a calling on the breeze.

The sound of God and life and wild
the sound of earth that grows
out of the wind that whispers by
the sound of trees that moan.

I know now why it is I care;
I bend my head and pray,
I cannot lock them in my heart
these teardrops on my face.


Write on dear poet lady!

When poets ponder
God smiles
he knows they up
to some rhyme

God knows poetry
isn't dead
He shows us
every day

Ron isn't God
he doesn't want to be
but he gave us a house
to place our Poetry

God gave us poetry
to read beautiful thoughts
and God gave us poets
to write them

God gave us humor
to help us laugh
and God gave us laughter
to help us heal

God gave us friends
to show us love
and God gave us love
so that we would have friends

God gives us
the simple pleasures
we enjoy so much
~*~
God gave us
His Ultimate Gift
His precious Son
~*~
We see Him at work
in everything
we see and do
~*~
behold the bloom
of a rose
blossoming into life
~*~
behold  the words
of all poets here
expressing love and life
~*~
behold the birth
of our children
our own miracles
~*~
behold the death
of our loved ones
going home to Him


Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

spreading health
lifting each other

Do you think
God created Poets
to show others
how it's done?

This is truly a beautiful poem, and a beautiful family of friends.  Just reading the responses here, I'm smiling with tears in my eyes.  You are all wonderful people and I'm glad to have found you.

What a beautiful thread!  I thank God for the poet in you, Karilea, and the beauty it inspires.
