Epigram
A reflection
o youth,where did you go
those yesterdays,still glow
pure white,as virgin snow
whose face is this I see,
is this really me;
where,where did youth flee
inside,still seems bran new
my youthful outlook,stays
albeit,passing days
a future lies ahead
beyond the grave,He said
the narrow path,to tread
in a resurrected body,new
for what I did for you

A QUATERNION
When the buds are tender green
And the fig leaves begin to sprout
None will mistake the end time scene,
The earth itself will shout.
Upon a horse,faithful and true,
He returns on a cloud,
As, in the air He comes into view
Every knee is bowed.
The book of life is opened,last
Sin meets it's heart's desire;
The deceiver and the deceived,cast
Into the lake of fire.
Water ,clear as crystal now,flows
Reviving,the once dead;
Those faithful,who Jesus knows,have
His name on their forehead.
A new earth,no more fire,sunlight or sea,
But living water that heals,thee and me.

What if you opened that door
when you heard His voice
and made this choice
What lies in store?
After He enters in
and forgives your sin
what lies in store,
after you open that door?
New life now,and then,
when we begin again;
Truth sets us free,
His perspective to see
Placed as a son and co-heir..
open that door ..if you dare
inspired by Rev 3:20

IN PEACE
When winter in quietness sleeps
not long indoor nights or snowfall deep
not wreaths upon the door nor trees in stark silhouette
not lights in windows bright or the holiday banquet;
not nativity plays nor carols, joyful sung
not presents exchanged nor hallway baubles hung;
but God with us ,Emmanuel
Jesus,come to us,to dwell.
after hymnal style of Tim Dudey-Smith

A hymn of

Constant,caring and all knowing
A love none can deny;
Morning,evening ever showing
A grace no deeds can buy.
All sufficient,all forgiving
Transgressions,we deny;
Gofts and blessings freely bringing
If we,to self,will die.
Peace,new life and healing
New birth,none can deny;
By the Holy Spirit sealing
With Hallelujahs cry
this common metre hymnody form inspired by Eph 1:13

A SMALL VOICE WITHIN
The flutter of an eyelid
The beating of a heart,
A blushing burning skin-
Knowing words of wisdom
Discerned by prompts within.
