Poetry Sunday ~ Soul Harvest

Gen. 8:22 “While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.”

Soul Harvest

The time is near, the hour nigh 
Moonbeams droop in a blackened sky 
Blazing sun scorches the land 
Earth erupts in a quivering stand 

Encircling us is ravaging hate
Lust and greed severs our fate 
I sit and watch as lives unravel 
The boulder of strength now merely gravel 

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Souls bewildered by mistrust 
Doubt and fear, they give rise 
To muted pleas and mournful cries

As souls ascend and souls descend 
It is our own that we must mend
Bringing forth joy, love and peace 
The decorum of beauty will never cease

Firmly tread as the time is here 
To boldly proclaim, all we revere 
The harvest of souls its beckoning plea 
It's craving you; devouring me

Come forth and share your wholesome beauty
Unleash love, as is our duty 
Reap what you sow, seek and find 
Then you my friend, won't be left behind.

Rev. 14:15 “And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.”

I wrote this many years ago and have posted it before but this seems timely to this very day. God Bless you all.

Poetry Sunday ~ Emergence

 Gen 1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

Emergence
by: Joni Zipp

What’s this I see beneath the snow
ever so green and lush
stately blades of grass I glimpse
with sun-dripped grains of blush.

The buds are beginning to burst
right forth from branches bare.
Soon will be an abundance of leaves
with twigs and arms to spare.

The fields are dancing with life right now
the squirrels they run and play.
Scampering about from tree to tree,
enjoying the expanded day.

Approaching are the winds of Spring,
the season will emerge.
The final day of death occurs
when mind and soul converge.
