Nature
(in broken Haiku)

Despite the war of
words that embellish our lives,
The flower still blooms.

Despite the struggle
of man and his rivals, the
bloom still creates seeds,

That drift across the
Lands of promise, that assures
Us that life and love
always makes a way.

Their Hands

And in a moment 
He reached his hand toward her 
​
And in an automatic symphony
Of familiarity and love

She clasped her hand in his
 
And intertwined
Were their spirits.
Amen.

​The Prophecy - The Prayer
In Haiku

My Lord My God, we
Pray that you show us the path
That was prophesied


We pray that you guide
Our steps through the doors you have
Set forth to be opened


Or those doors destined
To be closed as you see fit
For redirection


Father, we seek to
Hear you in this time and space
So we may be sure


That we are in place
For kingdom building for the
Salvation of souls


Father
Hear our prayer.
Amen.
