Excitement of new appliances may cooking continue
freshness in the field
the joy of a budding life -
the pathway of spring
April 1, 2025.
The Tiger Lily is gently removed from the lounge
so it wont ever come in contact with the cats fur
My visitor asks for Steppenwolf on the player
The song "Tenderness" has reticence
Its hard to know if we are romantically involved
having never kissed
Perhaps we share too much intelligence on one another
the quiet detective work overplayed !
We agree the floorboards creak
they may need replacing
She inquires if the boiler needs replacing too
Newness
she walks slow
I sit on a bench
waiting for her
in cracks I see
the beginning
of newness
among *** butts
office worker
sits here when
there is a break
today is sunny
I face the new sun
she catches up
sits slowly down
and speaks
we need a new kitchen
New sun, new life
New tune, new song
New heat, new light
New day, new hope
Keep the spirit alive.
I step into the newness of the night
feeling sticky in the warm air
It is twenty degrees cooler now
Still warm at eighty degrees
But this is Kansas in August
a streak across the sky grabs my attention
blinking red and yellow lights, a commercial flight
we are fifteen minutes south of a large airport
wolves or coyotes are howling in the distance
excited yipping commences, they have cornered something
the yipping seems to have ceased, they must be eating
the night’s freshness taunts me
this is an opportunity to write something new
but what? I sit in a lawn chair, surrounded by my dogs
where to begin? I pick up my pen, waiting for my muse.
The Great Lord keeps making things new
A few might only understand this
The Lord renews, revives, and restores
In His Name, we have a New Birth
This is worth so much
In His Name, we have a New Covenant
This is worth so much
The Great Lord keeps making things new
A few might only understand this
The Lord renews, revives, and restores
In His Name
No matter how broken you are and
No matter how messed up you are
God through Christ Jesus can make you new
The Great Lord keeps making things new
A few might only understand this
The Lord renews, revives, and restores
The Unapologetic God of Newness
Can do New things in your life
He is the God of the New
A few might only understand this
The Lord renews, revives, and restores
Good New Day
Newness such a mindset.
We all need renewed mindset
Before the Son sets.
Not the Star sun set
The 2nd coming God in man,
The Christ Jesus
Amen
