Destination—Ovi Poetry Challenge

Past reds and greens on pond or stream,
dangling from a drifting dream:
Why does that small voice ever seem
a lecture from the Lord?

Ronovan Hester offers the word “destination” as the inspiration for this week’s Ovi Poetry Challenge. Also posted on Poet’s Corner.

1 Kings 19:11-13
11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord. And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was not in the earthquake:
12 And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.
13 And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entering in of the cave. And, behold, there came a voice unto him, and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?

I enjoy walking, poetry and short prose as well as taking pictures with my phone.

    2. I am glad you liked that trumpet vine. I am the photographer on any non-attributed photo I post. I don’t have a camera, but figure my phone will do. Thank you, Dan!
