In Christ
In Christ,I live
His kingdom lives within;
blind once
now,I see,
sin,that He could see.
Sorrow-filled
each day,I miss the mark,
wander from the path,
in ashes,soiled,I lie;
to Him alone
my cry.
In Christ
In Christ,I live,
elsewhere..I would die.

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 quatorzain-free form sonnet

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

Spring awoke this morn
new birth,new life,He rose this dawn
Winter faded fast

A sacrifice,once,for all
turn backand trust ,our call
This Jesus,lives today
to Him in worship,pray

This is my beloved Son

Note:'spaces' is an imagism form .It has a title and three line ,the middle being blank and left to the readers imagination. I labelled it 'spaces' as the middle line is an unsaid poignant pause or image.

Fig trees do not flower
our grapes die on the vine
olive harvests fail,and
frustrations will prevail-
Fine words just will not flow

again,high places to walk,
where,once more, we can grow

From coast to coast
From land to land
The earth proclaims you
The living God.
We see you in creation
In all people of this world;
In your image we are made.
Jesus,our living God
Our saviour and our redeemer
Our loving God,our faithful friend
Comforter and King.

from you I cannot hide,
my jireh

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
