The Wheel was an obvious invention ─ after the fact,
So the final Judgment, when eternity's locked.

#couplets

About my burden I don't complain or ask,
But pray that with it I fulfill my task.

#couplets #SmallPoems

After he arose, to Heaven's glory Christ was taken;
By the power of God, the devil's deathly hold was shaken.

#couplets #SmallPoems

God among us is his greatest gift;
No longer need we be forever adrift.

#couplets #SmallPoems

TIME TO MOVE

Too long have limbs gone numb, inactive;
The moving, working body is most attractive.

#couplets #SmallPoems

The darkness softly calls, but do not answer;
Its enticement is a hypnotic dancer.

#couplets #SmallPoems

Rain and wind are forces to be reckoned with;
Behind them stands the One who's no man's myth.

#couplets #SmallPoems

Heaven stepped to Earth and all was changed;
God brought his perfect peace to man estranged.

#couplets #SmallPoems

Fill me, Lord, with wisdom, strength, and fire;
Let life in Jesus be the church's spire.

#couplets #SmallPoems

Oh no! "An error has occurred" it tells me.
Such failure of the popular app begalls me!

#couplets #SmallPoems

You suffered at the hands of harmful people.
Blaming them for your choices makes you feeble.

#couplets #SmallPoems

So little to say, so many ways to say it,
And ignorance always finds a way to display it.

#couplets #SmallPoems

It's past the time of night to call it quits
Much longer and my mind will crash in fits.

#couplets #SmallPoems

Can humility recognize itself? Of course!
It knows when self is moved aside, and will is quashed, by force.

#couplets #SmallPoems

Take a walk! Stretch your legs! Go for a stroll,
Before your limbs grow weak and nature takes its toll.

#couplets #SmallPoems

Needed: balance! Some are too serious, some not enough;
Some are threatening, some clownish, some never call their bluff.

#couplets #SmallPoems

What moves the world are money, power, and fame,
So most folk think. But God still rules and reigns.

#couplets #SmallPoems

More than meat is doing the Father's will,
Which leads to a cross upon a darkened hill.

#couplets #SmallPoems

For every job there's a right and proper tool;
And every interaction has its rule.

#couplets #SmallPoems

The sky is not the limit of possibility;
There's much beyond the azure -- God's eternity.

#couplets #SmallPoems

Each moment of life from God is a precious gift.
Each Scripture Word we read is a powerful lift.

#couplets #SmallPoems

God's not merely good all the time,
He defines it! Goodness is divine.

#couplets #SmallPoems

The potential is great, the farthest possible reach.
If one will hear, this is why we teach.

#couplets #SmallPoems

Silent sentinels circle the cottage door;
Falling leaves damper the forest floor.

#couplets #SmallPoems

The Lord created the world and gave it order:
For everything, a place, and space, and border.

#couplets #SmallPoetry

We fear the silence, so invest in noise;
To avoid the serious life, we buy more toys.

#couplets #SmallPoems

Each season has its beauty, speaks its language,
Presents its special hurdles, shares its advantage.

#couplets #SmallPoems

We've lost our minds for goblins, ghosts, and spooks,
With billions spent to celebrate dead works.

#couplets #SmallPoems

God's love and power will lead you far, where fear
Would hold you back, for he is always near.

#introduction
No stranger to #fediverse. Tried them all. Doing intro here with new #misskey account.
Started with the end in view, living the moment in light of the new day.
Enjoying the empty nest, with a full house.
Ink flows in the veins, #poetry bubbles to the surface at unexpected moments.
Favorites are #smallpoems, #couplets, #quatrains, and form with function.
#Equality is a concept of Creation, as all are made in the image of God.
It is practiced in the family of #faith, where all are #welcome on his terms.

Make use of powerful words in shorter text,
Where even folly has a running chance.
