Flip flop,  
Tick tock,  
Time goes.

Stealing,  
Swapping,  
He or she knows. 

Your place,  
Your space,  
They desire.

Backstabber,  
Doppelganger,  
For hire....

Quiet Life.

(Inspired by Ecclesiastes 10:4b)

Quiet life has more volume
Quiet life is more sublime
Quiet life has more freedom
Quiet life has more limelight
Quiet life, Jesus recommended
A quiet life you ought to pursue.

Enjoy your life; do all that you can
with purpose
because you can’t live it again.

Embrace what you do with great zeal
and with joy.
Your life the Grim Reaper shall steal.

Don’t think that your life God will save
just like that
if good works you put off till your grave....

Wise Solomon called it vanity
that men should strive to gain
more earthly possessions than wisdom
even tho it brings strife and pain.

For we know not what time we are given
tho we be snared in an evil time.
So live joyfully with whom thou lovest
that true joy your heart shall find....

Laughter Minichu

 “Time to Weep, Time to Laugh,” 
two emotional responses to win or lose.
Epitaph?

To live or die?
A time to mourn and a time to
be high…

a chance
to love, and to
dance

time to weep, time to laugh 
a time to mourn and a time to
dance

Ecclesiastes 3:2-8 
“There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens:” 


A flower embraces our mind 
And soul with its beauty, 
It’s not meant to live forever, 
It’s to be enjoyed for now. 

We try to hang on for dear life, 
Grow up like that flower,
Leaving memories for those around us, 
Wither and die....

While to myth seers, leap year is mysterious

Science explains it, never injurious

For me, the Lord meant such as victorious

Wondrous grand bonus for gracious day’s gift*.

*Ecclesiastes 3:13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.

I
Waiting ...
Not on the LORD
But on a phone call
So, I turn to poetry
Led by Jesus & His Word
"All is vanity"

II
I know there's nothing new
Something Solomon knew
Wrote about in "Ecclesiastes"
All is vanity, under the sun
I seek heat under His Son
But the dead world will beckon
If not for wealth, then a wise wife
Will I make her my new idol?...

Mankind's finite days,
as minute grains of sand.
Methodically exit the hourglass,
That God possesses in hand.

Mankind fathoms not hours,
nor discerns time of day.
Nor perceives what God,
has chosen as parting way.

But when hourglass is empty,
and judgment day's at hand.
excuses then, will not subsist,
Nor will God grant more sand.

Each Is Different
(But in HIS Likeness)
Written: by Miracle Man
8/6/2019

God didn’t intend for same kind thinking,
But gave each a free will, and sense of reason.
He placed within each, a need for interlinking,
And for every purpose He specified a season.

"To everything there is a season." Ecclesiastes, Pete Seeger

Through green leaves and golden tresses, blew
Summer breezes when we were two.

Then Autumn, by ones, by twos, by threes
Swirled amber leaves off of the trees.

A white Winter storm, I was bereft,
And only leafless branches left.

A Spring zephyr on a sunny day
Told me, "Everything's OK"....

Surpassing more than Christmas super-treats

our pets bask in long festivities’ feats

feasting* with us midst sweets, veggies and meats

while dear love birds echo their carol-tweets.

Mirth* in serving God is gracious pleasure
Blessing with provision bounty
Against crises-scarcity
Bringing us heaven’s treasure.

In ministerial service is joyous empowerment
Propelling us by the Lord’s righteousness
Along His counsel’s wisdom and truthfulness
To reach-out through His enablement.

*Ecclesiastes 8:15 Then I commended mirth …which God giveth him…

Childhood*

Precocious, curious

Playing, exploring, growing

exuberance, fantasy; insurance, legacy

Praying, mentoring, laboring

Cautious, anxious

Adulthood

*Ecclesiastes 11:10 Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.

Ecclesiastes 9:11 (New International Version) 
 11 I have seen something else under the sun: 
       The race is not to the swift 
       or the battle to the strong, 
       nor does food come to the wise 
       or wealth to the brilliant 
       or favor to the learned; 
       but time and chance happen to them all. 
A fitting ending to this CharlaXFabel....
