muse – Poetry, Short Prose and Walking

Promise—Ovi Poetry Challenge

The Holy Spirit is my muse
and all I have is His to use.
No other spirit need I choose.
Through Him there’s living water.

Ronovan Hester offers the inspiration “promise” to be used in this week’s Ovi Poetry Challenge. Also posted on Poet’s Corner.

John 4:10
Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

That’s a reflection of me at the bottom taking the picture from the bridge.

Beyond Worries

Muses are real
Like angels defending
Whose promises feel
Fulfilled and unending.

Impossible deeds
Make way for a blessing.
Obedience leads
Through trials caressing.

Lingering Day

Some days I get out of bed and all the night’s rest must have organized something because things appear obvious at least the things that I am aware of. There is much that I am not aware of and that by default isn’t clear because I am not even aware of it.

That lack of clarity is also a good thing. It gives me reason to go to sleep again tonight, trust the muse to do whatever she wants, so I can awaken with a new present, painful or not. And if there should be pain, I will be searching through whatever opportunity sorrow provides to find joy.

EVENING TAKES MY HAND
LINGERS AS THE DAY GROWS LONG
THERE’S THE MORNING SUN
