Woven

Woven by Emily Boulter He weaves with thread dyed colors you have not yet seen. Colors that fold in and out that frame and trace your journey. Do not think you can undo His work. Tapestries are always two-sided. While you dwell… gazing at the backside ribbed with knots, remember. You only see distortion. TheContinue reading “Woven”

Dying in Beauty Reveals God in Goodness

Dying in Beauty Reveals God in Goodness (Palindrome for Autumn) by Michele Morin Leaves fall down (for life is short), and dying in beauty reveals God in goodness.

Steps to Picking Raspberries

Steps to Picking Raspberries by Jody Collins First, avoid the bumblebees zooming in for latent sugar dripping in the rain, their heavy soaking reflected in drops from satiated rubies you hope to pop in your mouth. Second, beware the mildew, mold and bursting moisture of berries too long on the vine, having missed the summer sunContinue reading “Steps to Picking Raspberries”

Autumn on the Island

Autumn on the Island by Jodie McCallie The wind sighing high in the tree tops sounds like the surf until I reach the beach where the waves crash ashore with a louder declaration until they reach the sand where they sough up the shoreline and sound like the wind high in the treetops where doesContinue reading “Autumn on the Island”

Light Dancing

Light Dancing by Charlotte-Anne Allen Light dancing on splashes of gold, red, and orange beckons to passers-by. Greens and browns wave their fronds, seasons past and to come. Evening’s chill brings thoughts of tomorrow, as time tolls; prepare! Day’s warmth welcomes memories of life, laughter, and tears. And so we dance, welcoming light’s hope, inContinue reading “Light Dancing”

Love compelled me to climb. He had invited, hoping to inspire my fitness and long life. I had accepted, hoping to share in his passion forContinue reading “Mountain Metaphor”

When I Fail to be Faithful

When I Fail to be Faithful by Leslie Jones I watch the waves lap at the shoreline from my seat on the beach, the glistening Sea of Galilee spread before me. Kicking off my sandals, I lift my face skyward, relishing the warmth of the afternoon sun. My eyes close as a slight breeze rufflesContinue reading “When I Fail to be Faithful”

Infinity Within

Infinity Within by Sarah Freymuth Smoke rises into the night, plumes of flame in the barrel. Stars scattered across the sky; Milky Way bow tie stretched against the black. My friend Jordan and his pipe, sweet scent of tobacco. We scan the dark, silent water, which stretches on and on, shrouded in the back ofContinue reading “Infinity Within”

Hope Among Thwarted Plans

Hope Among Thwarted Plans by Rachel Britton My husband turned the key in the lock. “We’ll live here for ten years at least,” he said as we stepped over the threshold. I smiled. After twelve months of house hunting, we had signed papers on the perfect home. Blue wisteria flowers hung over the doorway, formingContinue reading “Hope Among Thwarted Plans”

Rain in the Desert

Rain in the Desert by ST Chapman I call them prayer walks. But are they really? I walk, I meditate, I plan, and I just appreciate. I imagine as I set out from my car that Jesus is walking with me. I invite him and of course, he graciously agrees to come along. And IContinue reading “Rain in the Desert”
