Rev 21:23
And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb [is] the light thereof.

During the night time,
Do flowers forget the sun?
Can we forget God?

Fo real

Rom 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Rom 3:11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
Rom 3:12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

YOU will not murmur.
It's His rules, His way, His grace.
Surely, word, fosho.

Play time is over,
A loser keeps on playing,
When holiness calls.

Genesis 1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Gen 1:4 And God saw the light, that [it was] good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
Haiku:

When I say"Be Light,"
nothing happens, I'm not God.
Mabey I'm the light.

Rev 22:5
And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.


the sun is setting?
truely the earth turns away
the Light shines always

Mal 3:6
For I [am] the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.




Change is coming trees,
It gets cold your leaves will fall,
You need this to live.

1Cr 13:10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
1Cr 13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
1Cr 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
1Cr 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these [is] charity.


Haiku

Hiddin the beauty,
Eyes see not what the mind hides.
I see. It looks dark.

Hero of mine

It's like the night time when the sun should shine,
It's like it's cloudy on brightest day,
I see the glimpses of the rainbow's ray,
Only when I pray oh Hope Divine.

Deaths shadow valley twisted me like twine,
I prayed a prayer of praise with out delay,
Devourer was then rebuked away,
Twas by the Lord of Hosts hero of mine.

From that moment on I changed my mind,
For I heard HIS voice in mine own ears,
The few words that he said baptized my soul,
HIS voice had depth, command was loving kind,
I'm glad HE is my shepherd, glad with tears,
No burdens now, rejoice I will be whole.

narrow gate

Mat 7:13 "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide [is] the gate and broad [is] the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.


Mat 7:14 Because [fn] narrow [is] the gate and difficult [is] the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

Haiku;

So comfortable,

It's a wide easy straight road,

Not narrow and rough.





Lord Jesus says there are few that find it. In Noah's day it was only 8 people.

Luk 12:27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Luk 12:28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more [will he clothe] you, O ye of little faith?

Luk 12:29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.

Luk 12:30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth


Arrayed with glory
And Solomon was not close
Lilies like themselves

1Cr 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
1Cr 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these [is] charity.

Rev 3:17
Because you say, 'I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing'--and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked--
Rev 3:18
I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, [that] the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.

Inward and hidden?
Our Father sees all our thoughts

Gen 22:12
And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only [son] from me.

Haiku,

What I'm looking for
I'm not sure what it looks like,
I know how it feels.

The Suns light is free
All other light costs too much,
Artificial light

And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

1Peter 2:

1Peter 2:2
as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby, [fn]

if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.

What is beauty?

Pslam 27:4
One [thing] have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple


Mortal man is beautifully made,
But Gods beauty is more.
children playing growing strong,
Gods beauty is more.
A virtuous woman loving and wise,
Gods beauty is more.
The work of your hands and passing it on,
Gods beauty is more
A friend through peace a friend through war,
Gods beauty is more.
The Creatures of land of sea and air,
Gods beauty is more.
Niagara falls and mountain tops,
Gods beauty is more.
Massive stars through endless space
Gods beauty is more

Jesus as a baby,
Fathers beauty.
Jesus growing strong,
Fathers beauty.
Him crucified,
Fathers beauty.
He is risen
Fathers beauty
Jesus Kings of Kings ,
Fathers beauty.
Jesus High priest
Fathers beauty
Father loved us first,
Our Fathers beauty.
Giving us His Kingdom
This is our Fathers beauty.

True Work

Do waves get fired?
Do the young trees get laid off,
Not when God hires.


Our Honduran friend at work got laid off this week.
I wrote a haiku for him. Whether one is laid off or working, the work of the Father should still go on.

A free verse, my rare attempt

James 4:5
Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously"?
Jam 4:6
But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble." [fn]
Jam 4:7
Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.


2Thessalonians 2:9
The coming of the [lawless one] is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders,

2Th 2:10
and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

2Th 2:11
And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,

2Th 2:12
that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.










A man some how he grows alone
ah that is a myth,
the Fathers hand is seen all over one just has to look,
and never with your blindness, never with your deafness,
for surely pride will say out loud I see and I am healed,
and this great pride we keep secure
this pride our enemy within,
Our Father resists on every count and
sends his guidance always,
He creates the truth and creates delusion for Creator is his name,
we have to know
and see
and hear
and pray to the real Father
this is the true work of our life
work hard oh work hard
Our Fathers story is in the scriptures written between our lines.
And true Love for God cannot be faked or fooled or proud of you,
we're safe through Jesus Loving our Father this is not a myth.
I'm sad that some are knowingly ignorant on the true way to grow,
so sad that in our short 120 years some will never find,
or see
or hear
the real truth
they are stuck in strong, strong delusion,
For Our loving Father sends us what we want,
and He just may tell us that some day.

2Peter 3:3
Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
2Pe 3:4
And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as [they were] from the beginning of the creation.
2Pe 3:5
For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
2Pe 3:6
Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
2Pe 3:7
But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition

haiku:

They say look at me,
From Stars to beasts they're always
Bragging about God

Psa 23:1¶
[[A Psalm of David.]] The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall not want.
Psa 23:2
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

The prior two verses are is King Davids statement. This is what King David says after he is in green pastures and beside still waters:
1. He restoreth my soul
2. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
3. I will fear no evil
4. in the presence of mine enemies

His soul needs restoring, he walks through and around death, He is tempted to be afraid and he is still in the presence of his enemies.

This haiku helps me understand the 23 rd Pslam and life:

Restful green pastures,
I'm lead beside still waters,
These bugs break my peace.

He giveth power to the faint; and to [them that have] no might he increaseth strength.
Isa 40:30
Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

Isa 40:31
but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Haiku

At the mornings hope,
My days tasks are so simple,
Stop you weary night.

Exd 20:5

And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandment.

Haiku:
Children I am poor,
But I leave you great treasure,
My deep love for God.




Mat 13:18 ¶
Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.
Mat 13:19
When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth [it] not, then cometh the wicked [one], and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.
Mat 13:20
But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it;
Mat 13:21
Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
Mat 13:22
He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
Mat 13:23
But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth [it]; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

Haiku:
Some fly on the wind,
some grow when burned, few live
but all seeds are loved

Isa 61:3

To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

haiku:

Must be losing weight,
This dark garment does not fit,
Garment of praise does.

Ezekiel 34:16
I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up [that which was] broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.

the haiku:

You ask, what I seek?
To much, mabey I am lost,
Gods the seeker.

I wonder, Is this scriptural?

Sin you are now dead I see,
Covet you have no draw on me,
Cause won't miss my time on the Tee,
Daily with Jesus fore eternity.

Jeremiah 17 verse 5 Thus says the LORD: "Cursed [is] the man who trusts in man And makes flesh his strength, Whose heart departs from the LORD.
Jer 17:6 For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, And shall not see when good comes, But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, [In] a salt land [which is] not inhabited.


Jer 17:7 "Blessed [is] the man who trusts in the LORD, And whose hope is the LORD.
Jer 17:8 For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear [fn] when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.


I will trust upon the Lord,
The river shall meet my roots,
In years of drought, the heats ignored,
My fruit will yield new shoots.

Most of the time he was strong,
Most of the time he thought on what he wanted,
So at times his life was dry,
Living in a wilderness of non friends,
He was hopeful he would see pleasant times.
Nope.

when I look on Earth
Gods glory seems so hidden,
what a miracle.

Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Luke 12:27


Lilies of the field
have more joy and strength than I,
and Solomon too.

For thus saith the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel; In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength: and ye would not.
From Isaiah 30 verse 15


A haiku
I see mature trees
as confident and quiet
such a useful strength

Care for your garden,
but know which garden it is,
you will harvest yours

I wonder how my living will turn out
Our Father sure gives us a joyous end
but selfish ones live curse that God does send
I pray I'll wake like you Lord dispel doubt

And train me in your way your truth and walk
Oh pour the gift tenacity on me
And bless me in The Christs community
So I can be your hands and not all talk

I think I know you only just a bit
My wondrous God you are still to unknown
And magnify your name to help us quit
The worship of false gods with hearts of stone
Oh dwell inside our hearts Gods holy Son
The King and the High priest, your love has won

A haiku

I ask and wonder,
For Gods likeness is fresh fruit,
Am I fermenting?

This is a poem is in a style I made up I call Free Hymm. The first four lines in a hymm style. The next 5 lines are in free style, and this free style part has a one or two word ending.


Because you love me Father God,
I have hope this day,
Because you love me Father God,
no longer can I stray.

No longer am I a loser in the after life.
No longer do I cry bound by chains and anchors.
No longer do I serve a false King.
No longer do I serve a false High Priest
No longer for I put my life in Jesus Anointed.
Because.

Arcata Vacation

Arcata's misty morning sears me deep,
Coast Redwoods and Sequoias standing tall,
It wakes me to a beauty from a sleep,
a sleep I never knew was there at all,

Arcata's misty morning scent I reap,
the Pine and Eucalyptus blend I fall,
in love with life again I weep,
great works of God on us they did befall.

Pacific's ocean hits the cliffs so steep,
this Moonstone beach its wonders so enthrall,
a little river hits the salt tides neap,
huge boulders from the sand, this is my thrall,
My parents ashes sailed out from this shore
I now see why I walk and just adore

Have a clue

I really do not have a clue,
if I did I would now do,
something smart and something new,
I'd shut my mouth and act dumb too

the sight is awesome,
at the edge of this crevasse,
again I fall in

Our Shadow Man

within my grasp for years and so well versed,
he saw the angles of life's game and then,
with this insight he never lost again,
his poison asps were calmed like infants nursed.

and fame's not sought these men think it's the worst,
it's family first and for these shadow men,
these master gamers have it in their ken,
Yaohushua has said the last are first,

Oh God why would make one such as this?
I think of heavens loss when he was here,
I think Dads heart attack made heavens bliss,
his passing over made the angels cheer,
his life just shows how far I have to go,
that really hasn't his me yet you know.

The pond is stagnant,
it seems of no use to me,
but it teems with life

Hippopotamus,
the master of his river,
no money no school.

the old growth forest,
must burn a bit to clean out,
else the fall is great,

as I look you soar,
and I wonder why can't I?
High one walk with me?

The seed appears dead,
It will not grow in this light,
It needs dark and dirt.

What bear would not eat?
what eagle would not fly?
Love, is that my task?

they grow with great care
light, design and love team up,
I see, even weeds?

young turtles beach born,
run for their lives and end up food,
Gods beautiful work

His watchful eye

I'll abide in full some day,
this hope will never die,
though partially now I run astray,
My shepherds' still close by.

Some live full Kingdom lives,
some get saved on their death bed,
some are stuck just where God puts them,
some have freedom to fly,
whatever it takes Lord of Hosts,
crucify.

The things that are

The few years I've been alive,
most things are hard for me,
so lost the holy help my strive,
I'm humbled Lord by thee.

my youth was hope for hopeful things,
my youth was fun with playful things,
the hope and the fun and the playful things are put aside,
I am now at times a protector and a guider and a father
for a deep driving purpose,
family.

wisdom

the old redwood,
how to live feast and famine,
can you teach me tree?

My Issac's Eyes

The sunsets never seen with his young eyes,
and ocean waters that he ne'er will touch,
the good friends missed a wife he'd love so much,
so sad for for us we never sad goodbyes.

He'll never feel moms hugs to comfort cries,
missed family dinners, siblings gifts and such,
he'll never feel dads pride or hand shakes clutch,
and ne'er a stone will say here Issac lies.

He was miscarried born my little guy,
lays in his mothers hand a hepleless one,
she looks and cries bout one she didn't know,
I'll see you Issac in the bye and bye
the dad quick looks and sheds a tear my son
Ne'er fly my dear young arrow from my bow

I Sing

As years pass by I needs Ya's wisdom more,
Us men are oh so drivin to command,
A President or on a soap box stand,
It matters not, menkind just want to roar.

Our Father humbles me no flight, can't soar,
And when I'm snared I pray "God send your hand,
and place me on the Rock from sifting sand
Come honor integrety we fight a war,"

You beast you're not a man, can you still think?
So fat so strong your are a phony King,
for as you steal and kill as you destroy,
your heart grows harder surely you will sink,
A true man worships God to Ya he 'll sing
For men were made to give Our Father joy.
