#MicroPoetry|November ’18 Verses

Every month I tweet #MicroPoetry! In 140 characters, they are part prayer, thought, reflection, challenge or something in-between. I look forward to sharing them with you and hope that they may lead to reflection, musing and perhaps even discussion!

There is no other you
no never
no reflection
no duplicate
The gift of you
is preciously one
So
with humility
brightly shine
so we may too


Inspired by the faith that you are enough …

Watch not the hands
as they tick here to there
in time’s line
distractions detract
devalue
dismiss
In this moment
clearly see
precious Now


Inspired by letting time go …

Winter’s midst
creation slumbers
Spirit dances
in fallow’s time
Fields frozen
& branches bare
may dormant be
Within summer’s promise abides


Inspired by promises remembered …

That which might be
potential awaits birth’s pang
begins as imagination action sparks
dreams’ kindling flame
illuminating reality inspired


Inspired by taking seriously reality we co-create …

In storm’s stirring surge
Amidst turbulent tenacious trials
As challenges constantly confront
Tall standing
we are
as roots dive ever deeper


Inspired by standing upright in the midst of life’s unfolding …

Light Cracks
Light Cracks
This Now
This Now
Journey Embraced
Journey Embraced

Path Forward
Path Forward
Blessing Bound
Blessing Bound

As each day dawns
that which inspires
appears as serendipity reveals
or with intention our attention must spy
In this Now
what do you see?


Inspired by recognising ever-present inspiration …

Be bold
Wisdom’s kin
question dogmas that divide
interrogate doctrine that oppresses
Be bold
for in our questions
light cracks lies’ facade


Inspired by doubting Thomas’ audacity …

No matter what we spy
through lenses we fashion
the thing itself
course does not set
It’s what we choose to see
that shapes our path forward


Inspired by distinguishing between the thing and what we see …

Upon each horizon
dreams beckon
goals invite
The path to each
trails yet to be traversed
reveals happiness in choices
as a journey embraced


Inspired by goals’ journey revealing happiness Now …

Life’s cycle
from pupa to butterfly
points not to one
moment
transformation
that beauty encompasses
In each moment
life
is blessing bound


Inspired by beauty as unfolding journey …

Brightly Shine
Brightly Shine
Precious Now
Precious Now
Promise Abides
Promise Abides

Roots Dive
Roots Dive
Reality Inspired
Reality Inspired

    Life is reflective as we take in each moment in our minds projector. We see what we could have done and that which we did do. Living each day from waking through each emotionally charged experience we go through. When we rely on Our Savior things become clearer and more meaningful as we proceed towards the goal he wants us to have. Being more like him as we search for his attributes when dealing with others each day. I think this is what everything amounts to.

    Thanks Richard for the friendship we have built over 2018 going forward to 2019. All the best for you each day.
