Nouns Verbs and Adjectives – v4

We added words, one by one

onto the blackboard;

in front of the classroom

Little arms raised in the air

sometimes too excited to wait.

Words blurted out,

urgent, important words

They were nouns, verbs, and adjectives

words of a walk in the woods;

All are worthy, all valid,

at least for him, for her,

the ones who spoke them out loud.

String together, communally

amid laughter, easy, fun

together writing a poem

before they wrote their own

with their own words;

Nouns, Verbs, Adjectives

and Adverbs, daringly!

Beneficial – v6

God’s offer of grace

releasing us from the law.

All permissible, allowed

by our choice, our will;

but not all is beneficial

for the raising up of the body

for the people of Christ.

The flock of the shepherd

to prepare for paradise.

To reassure us of His love – v3

The whispers of the Spirit

God calling to us

our spirits stirring;

Gathering together

the sheep of His flock.

Bearing witness

to the Lord’s power

singing to the heavens;

Joyfully being filled

that we may be poured out.

kindling a friendship – v2

finding others,

our friendships growing,

when we had been apart

choosing sides

because od an old dispute

kindling a friendship

making up for lost time

when we were in the middle

when we were forced to pick sides.

Jesus climbed the altar – v3

this act of submission

this manifest moment of grace

more than the cup, His prayer,

in the moment of Gethsemane;

beyond the lash, the mocking,

the horrible scourging

the beating He took for us.

Jesus the lamb,

the Son of the Father,

became the sacrifice;

God, like Abraham,

climbing the mountain;

Jesus climbed the altar,

dying as a sacrifice

to set us free from sin.

http://www.cokesbury.com/forms/ProductDetail.aspx?pid=9781426746802

The unused path

the bramble overflowing,

undergrowth abloom

but a hint of a path,

just an impression really.

One long abandoned

left to grow fallow

forgotten, up the bank

out into the wood.

Like that unknown journey

maybe a hidden rock wall

the unused path before me

calling me to walk.

the unused path into the wood

calling, beckoning me onward

to move from my comfort

out into the unknown.

The whisper of the wind

a shiver at my back,

yet a call echoing within me

to turn and not look back.

Venturing forth, yet uncertain,

not knowing yet the way

needing the Spirit to guide me

each and every day.
