War Chest Wednesday: Something is Different, Awestruck,

Wednesday, July 26, 2017

The Withered Petals of the Rose

One by one petals frown,
Joyless fall to the ground,
One by one petals weep,
As u p their stems terror creeps.

The War Chest Wednesday prompt for "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS"  is from a previous challenger.
Tell us about one major change in you or something different about you between now and this time last year.

Something Is Different

Something has changed,
there is something different about me,
something more calming
and less fearful.

Sometime,
I ask myself "What has changed?"
"What is different?"

The still,
small voice,
that is my soul,
answers only with
a knowing smile.

I meditate upon the subject
and realize the change
concerns
an awareness of faith.

I am practicing faith more
and worrying less.

The "Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise"  prompt for Day 1229
"I will be the gladdest thing under the sun! I will touch a hundred flowers and not pick one." Have you ever felt this way about life? Write anything you want about this prompt.

Awestruck

I am awestruck
when I discover
the answer to a prayer
waving at me
from across the street
or smiling
through a neighbor's screen door.

I am awestruck
when I feel the presence
of the Holy Spirit
in a passage of sacred scripture.

I am awestruck
when a prompt for a blog entry
jumps into my mind.
