Let Them Roar

 

Let us be poised, and wise, and our own today

R W Emerson

Let the thunder roar around us

Let the seas beat against our shores

Let those who wish us ill make their plans

Cast their nets and

Shake their fists in fury

Let the wind lash against our windows until the house fairly shakes beneath our feet

Until the  trees are stark and bare

It does not matter

because today

..

We will be poised, and wise, and our own.

and that's poetiquejustis

No weapon formed against you will prosper  

Isaiah 54:17

Patience

 

Our patience will achieve more than our force

Edmund Burke

It takes time

For bread to rise

For a tree to grow

For a flower to open

The art of living...why not try giving it a little time?

It's the time of your life

and that's poetiquejustis

But let patience have her perfect work, 

that you may be perfect and entire, 

wanting nothing. James 1:4

A Ray of Hope

 

 

“At times, our own light goes out and is rekindled
 by a spark from another person."

  Albert Schweitzer

 When the days are dark

You can be a candle in the window

When the nights are long

You can be someone's dawn

When the clouds are shifting

You can be the rays of hope

 

Today, you can bring light to someone's light

That is something you can be grateful for as well

And that's poetiquejustis

Let your light so shine forth before others that your Father in heaven may be glorified.
Matthew 5:16

The Revisionist Life

 

It is never too late

in fiction or in life

to revise

Nancy Thayer 

Do not like the "prose"

(or the cons!)

Edit your life

Don't like the way you are headed?

Revise your plan

Do not like the way things are turning out?

then start  right where you are

and 

 because

It is never too late

for many

 and that's poetiquejustis

Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.

Psalm 34:14

Let's Not Grow Up Today

 

If you carry your childhood with you

you never grow older

Abraham Sutzkever

A poem

A story

A smell

A taste

                                                                That will speak  volumes

and that's poetiquejustis

I remember the days of long ago; 

I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done.

Psalm 143:5

To dance, To sing

 

If you can walk, you can dance.

If you can talk, you can sing.

Zimbabwe saying.

Coco Chanel said:

"You only live once

you may as well be amusing."

Not a bad idea.

You know enough to close the windows

against the rain

And you know enough to open the curtains

to let in the sun

Today, do the same for your soul!

Protect your heart and your mind

from anything that does not make you want 

to dance and sing 

with joy

Go ahead...amuse yourself!

Look- you are smiling already!

and that's poetiquejustis

I will sing to the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
Psalm 104:33

Going Somewhere

 

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known

Sharon Begley

We are all headed somewhere today

Some of us will be in a hurry

Some of will be dragging our feet

                                             Some of us will only move along in our minds

                                         But today, we are all headed somewhere

 

And we will not be the same person tomorrow that we are today 

Carol King asked us why nobody stays on one place any more

Good question

Why is so much the world built to move?

Rivers flow

Tides go in and out

Birds take flight with the seasons

It seems we too are  built for the journey

and perhaps to help someone along the way

 

Because everyone is going somewhere today.

and that's poetiquejustis

 

In the way of righteousness there is life;

along that path is immortality

Proverbs 12:28
