Spring Fling
Poetry, Prayers, Praise ... how Spring can amaze
Spring Sonata For still there are so many things that I have never seen: in every wood in every spring there is a different green. - J. R. R. Tolkien Stunning light reflects the music, Softly playing in hues of beautiful, Dreamy buds, inspired by the sun, Whisper hope in gentle creams, Fragile pink and blushing mauves, Delicate peach and pale lilac – peace… Dazzling shadows, vibrant scarlet, Glittering jewels of sapphire, luminous As the pearly white that soothes, Reflecting the songs of a quiet twilight, As the leafy silence breaths hope Through the spring’s glowing blooms. Climbing, gliding, soaring over windy seas Beyond the waves, through the morning’s breeze, Perfect wings, sail gracefully… Reminding each one that nature has her life, With raspberry blessings, in quiet dreams, Her heart melts the moments that foretell of spring. Rich tints of laughter, silence the moon, Reassuring the risktaker, blessing the truths That aspire to bless us with rhythms, From a season of purity, glowing with life, Forever trembling and remembering Easter, His sacrifice… As the Spring embraces everyone who agrees Despite the winter’s muteness, There is the promise, the belief – that can see… Beyond the doubts, beyond every fear, Faith that bleeds joy into those who believe, As Spring erases the past with its lively melody – A melody of satisfaction for those who can see… Spring’s enchantment in the showers, the trees, the message Of a love that this season seems to impart – The message of hope that Spring brings to hearts, Who listen to the lyrics of a light falling through the quiet, The lyrics found inside the soul who Spring has stirred… With its unending blessings of pure sweet love.

The color of it must be spring green." - Frances Mayes Soft sun embraces souls, sentimental, Shimmering stars sing through the silence, While a heavy moon glows gently, Graceful as winds who ease moods, Skies alive with shadows, Drifting through heaven, Spring’s wavering, Like music, Soothing, Dreams. Calm, Pretty, Flowers bloom, Delighting songs, Played by lissome wings, As dewdrops flow meekly, New petals praise their Maker, While the morning groans, still hopeful, Melodies stir deep feelings, flowing, Across the hearts who know Spring’s song of love.
Written on March 24, 2024 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Spring Fling "Spring drew on...and a greenness grew over those brown beds, which, freshening daily, suggested the thought that Hope traversed them at night, and left each morning brighter traces of her steps." —Charlotte Brontë Spring heeds His voice, Prepared to rejoice… Spring showers wash away each fear, Singing light across the new year… Spring invites souls to the blessing, As sun sings hope so impressing… Spring whispers of His amazing, Silencing the past, always praising… Spring knows the time has come, The dark of winter will succumb… Spring risks the disgrace, the shame, As the wind begins to play its game… Spring, mostly alive with pleasure, Restores the spirit’s joy, a treasure… Spring erases all the tired, Bringing new, it is inspired… Spring’s smile, it is assured, Brings peace that has endured… Spring listens to His command, Spreading glory, so great and grand… Spring is God’s grace poured out, On the heart who refuses to doubt!
Season's Reasons vibrant green, laughing trace of freshly mown lawns, grass shaved to spring’s polish tender azure, seas alive with murmuring breeze fireflies sing summer kissing away leaves dancing in bold hues, waving dressing autumn’s limbs gentle snowflakes glow embracing the land, blankets frosty winter breaths miracles sing through seasons peaceful, promising reasons Haiku Sonnet Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Joanna Daniel May 4, 2023
Seeking God has so made our heart that nothing can ever fill it but God Himself ~ Charles Spurgeon I searched for happiness on shores of romance There were only passing fancies there, I needed another chance… To find the truth, the way through the dark, The life that was joyful – for this is what I sought I searched for inspiration on a trembling muse There were only gentle vibrations there, I needed to find the whispers… The stirrings of a gentling, a feeling breathing… With wonders beyond imagining – hues of pleasure I searched for beautiful on the tears that poured out There in dew, the rain, the intimacy dripping I needed to know the sensation… Coloring my dreams in splendors rising, risking The music in skies – erasing every doubt, each sorrow I searched for remarkable on the wings of each season There were whimsical winds, dancing leaves, I needed to feel the astonishment… Grace smiling through the spring sonnets, forests Alive with the tenderness – keeping soft reflections I searched for light on the stardust moments, nightly There were glistening memories there, I needed to believe, have faith… Assurance that heaven is real and I can truly see The wonder beyond the tear stained clouds, glowing I searched for serenity on the gusts of freedom’s flow There amid the clusters of psalms, prayers, I needed to understand peace… Promising me the miracles of grace that saves, Bleeding through the walls I’ve built around my heart I searched for truth on the laughing sparks shimmering There with all the fires of love growing, I needed to listen to His wisdoms… Revealing the way through the past, the darkness Into the redeeming promises, the deliverance, the gospel When I finally knew Him, the way that I could have All those many moments before, when I ignored The beautiful, the wonderful, the joyful… There in His presence, the way to see past the fears Into the life that is forever, always… eternally I’m His!
