In The Garden With God

In The Garden With God

-Linda Lee Lyberg

In the garden with God

As the wind softly blows

I bow my head, awed

By the beauty of the rose.

HAIKU: THE LOVE OF THE FATHER

By Charles Robert Lindholm

I am a believer

His Spell

His Spell

-Linda Lee Lyberg

Bury the past, leave it there

For it does no earthly good

To reexamine and lay bare

Some deeds may be never understood.

Morning Praise

She sings

A song of praise

Godly Conversations…

Me: Dear God…

God: Yes God

Me: You are the god!

God: Why do you think so?

Me: you created us. You are the ultimate source for this universe, the vigour for everything that ‘exists’

God: No, you created you… You are God!

Me: I created me?

God: Of course… God!

Me: Who created you?

God: Me? We ain’t diverse

Me: Am not clear, alright… What after death?

God: Empty…

Me: Empty?

God: Yes, Empty.

Me: What is Empty?

God: Nothing… A State of vacuum. A Nullified Cognizance!

Me:  Let me put it this way, what is Death?

HAIKU: WHO IS THE CAPTAIN

By Charles Robert Lindholm

Who is the Captain

carefully written

i imagine our Gods
write and send
letters, notes, papers, and art
out into the universe

LIGHTENING ROD

By Charles Robert Lindholm 

I don’t really understand it

this gift or curse from God

I Wonder About Love

Oh it is true the feeling you might have,

the moment the mention,

the imagined response to knowing,

wanting, having, believing, sharing,

all the keywords that could be eternal,

The Veil

The Veil

-Linda Lee Lyberg

The veil between this life you see

And that of immortality

Is as thin as paper if you believe

There is more to this reality

Prisms

Prisms

-Linda Lee Lyberg

Sun dogs and moon bows

Crystal Prisms and rainbows

Relieved of any constrictions

Lay their colors upon my soul

While I, within creative throes

Of writing with utter conviction.

Constanza

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever. —Hebrews 13:8

My Savior, Jesus Christ, His name
Though many friends have I, there is
No other name so dear as His

Just As I Am

Just as I am, my broken heart
To give You the whole, and not just part.

Rest in Peace

tanka

I lie down in peace
releasing all cares to God
who works while I sleep

I Thirst

Dear Father,
I have tasted of the world’s wine,
And yet I thirst;
I have gorged myself on earth’s pleasures,
And yet I hunger.

Lord, Here Am I

Lord, here am I to labor unrewarded,
To serve unpaid, unloved, unsought, unknown,
Unknown, unloved by all but my dear children,

Eden

Eden

-Linda Lee Lyberg

Darkness falls and I am alone

Emptiness abounds, no place to call my own

Forgiven

Beholders many faults may find,
But God forgave them all
Before the earth or sea or time,

Shadow of a crown of thorns
upon there on the wall
Contrasted in the brightness
sweetest thing I saw

God is…

 

   

When the storm clouds are all around me, and there seems no place to hide

My soul cries out to Jehovah God and I reach deep down inside.

For it is deep inside my soul I find provision everlasting

Knowing Jehovah Jireh is always ready to provide.

A Cord of Three

Looking back through the years

Through the laughter and the tears,

Standing forever by my side

Standing together, husband and bride.

My Heart Hurts

 

The last few years have been strangely visited by the passing of so many friends, their parents, their spouses, their children, their best lifelong friends. When you go through such a loss it helps knowing you have friends, family, and God to turn to when the pain is overwhelming and just too much to bear.  However, there are many lonely nights where it is just you and God, sharing the burden of loss.

My Heart Hurts

Waking up this morning with life’s plans rolling along.

With children, family, and friends in their places where they belong.

Hearing that my cousin has cancer drove me to my knees in pain.

My friend called to say her granddaughter has a tumor on her brain.

Longing in my soul

I hunger for something solid
A touch that soothes my soul
Genuine Presence of God
That fills up this “heart-hole”

Sure, I have salvation
My Savior is Everything
Yes, I have Spirit revelation
Joy of Him makes me sing

Still, there must be more than this

Man in Charge

Gaze upon the twinkle stars

Who am I? A question I ask.

The Ire of God

Earl’s heart
like the rabbits and deer
gets its tides from the phases
of moon. As it wanes
all is quiet in the woods
and furrows.

Incomprehensible

Breath of Life

Reflection

Poetry Challenge: Easter poem

Shadow of a crown of thorns
high up on the wall
held there in a flickering light
sweetest thing I saw
Around me people quietly prayed
the Spirit, moving, felt
a whispered word, a silent prayer
shared as people knelt

Light of Day

Secluded by the tired night

Weary eyes no longer bright

She journeys to her quiet place
