From lands of the east, I have travelled afar, Flew over two oceans ‘midst sunshine and stars. Through deserts, o’er mountains, in hurricane gale, I journeyed, tucked snugly in Emirates’ whale. For years I had wondered how things would work out, But God showed His power without any doubt. The dream that He gave meContinue reading “From Lands of the East”

The Time to Worship
I wish I could write music. Some songwriters can express profound thoughts in gripping poetry and musical arrangements. I’ve tried, but it doesn’t come easily. I wish I could play music. I’d love to sit down at a piano and let my fingers dance. (Actually, I can do that, but the din that arises soundsContinue reading “The Time to Worship”
The Hole
Dedicated to The Great Pine, William & Isabella, and all the other unnamed trees, standing or fallen, on our property and across the world who have stood the tests of time. It grows Strong and tall. It stands Unshaken Through storm, cold, Wind, and drought. It holds In its bosom A cup of hair andContinue reading “The Hole”
Imagination
Innocence,Berry juice on fingers,Eyes sparkling like silver,Giggles lilting, tinkling through golden sunshine.Bare toes scouring dirt for a pebbleSmoother than the one beforeWhile ruffles ripple in a clement breeze.The heaping scoops of clouds aboveSail across the limitless sky,And the puff of pink midst the grasses belowSees nothing of the likes.Beneath the quivering aspen leavesShe has escapedContinue reading “Imagination”
All This Happiness
Do you also smell the smoke from spitting bonfires? The freshly-cut cornfield that rustles no more? Do you hear the yellow carpet crackling under a squeaky wheelbarrow? The hundred geese ca-honking? Do your eyes linger on the shimmering groves tucked among folds of fields? The subdued grain and grasses? Does your tongue tingle with spicyContinue reading “All This Happiness”
My Heart For You
The Lord God saith, “I will hedge up your paths with thorns. With prickles will I hem you in So that you cannot find your way. For you seem ignorant of all I’ve done for you, All that I am for you. You chase after love that can’t satisfy, Drawing dust from a well That’sContinue reading “My Heart For You”
Quite Queer
Clusters of lavender, sweetest aroma! Blooming by roadsides, arranged in a vase, Clutched in my hand, they’re the loveliest lilacs— And how the fragrance sweeps over my face! Gleaming with pride that’s as yellow as sunshine, Strong-willed and tow’ring high over my lawns With sticky stems and the sneakiest root-spread, White-headed dandelions wave their batons.Continue reading “Quite Queer”
Mosquito in the Cabin
Back in highschool, my friend and I worked through an art elective which I never regretted. Oh yes, we had lots of projects and unpredictable tests, but doing art as schoolwork was fun! I still use techniques I learned then. I also appreciate different forms of art more now than I used to. One bookContinue reading “Mosquito in the Cabin”
The Weeping City
Through a windshield splattered with mud and rain— Rain that speckles, trickles, and slides— I watch the city rush by. Reflected on puddles, windows, and mirrors, I see lights— Orange lights, green lights, red and blue blinking. I see trucks and semis, cars and buses— Weaving in and out, honking, splashing, and wailing. I seeContinue reading “The Weeping City”
The Heartbeat
A year or two ago, I received my own doctor kit. But this one didn’t come in a bright pink case with six plastic instruments. Although I had such when I was younger, this examination set included only real instruments with glass and metal! Every piece could be used just like in hospitals! WhatContinue reading “The Heartbeat”
