About

16, 2-6-SHOW NOTESToday’s poems have not been published.  Some were a continuation of my writing and posting on Facebook as I had done with the poems in Living In God’s Rhyme.  Three of today’s poems are about color.   I am not an artist so I write words of color that are not seen by the eyes, but hopefully are seen by the heart.   THE COLOR OF WORDS Can words paint  picturesLike a brush on a canvas?That was the question.What is the answer? The brush paints a scene,But what does it meanAs its many colored huesPresent many varied views? The brush paints with color,The color of the rain,The color of one’s pain,The color of life’s strain,The color of a smile,The color of a traveled mile,The color of two in love,The color of the sky above.The colors of the worldBy the brush are swirled. The colors of our dreams,Just what do they mean?Colors are everywhere,A breath of fresh air. Words, what do they doIn their monotone hue?Words paint the emotionsOf peace and the commotionsOf the life we liveAnd what God does give. There is color in our pain,There is color in God’s reign,There is color as we strainOur tear filled eyes to seeBeyond the dark what will be.There is color in our story,There is color in God’s glory. Through words we will seeColors, the many colored hues,Through words holding the cluesTo blessings from above,The blessings of God’s love. Every word spoken, every word heard is another brush stroke in the painting of our story in Gods’ glory.What do the dictionary and a box of crayons have in common?  They tell our story. 6/4/19, tcarter  (read date)   It has been a few years since I had read today’s poems.  I was surprised when I could find three about colors.  I was especially surprised at the short period of time between writing the previous poem and the next one.  More on that after this, A Flood of Colors.  A FLOOD OF COLORS Red,Orange,Yellow,And green,Blue,Indigo,And violet,Together become a rainbow,A promise of God so long ago. The blood of Jesus, The blood of the lamb,The blood that saves us,Salvation, God’s plan. The fire of God’s deliveranceAs we passionately praiseThrough our faithful observanceOf the life God did raise. The glory of God now shown,Finding joy in our faith,Knowing we will see God’s face.Through His reign we have grown. The new beginning,Promised restorationFrom  lives of sinning,Now with adoration. The authority of Heaven,Fed on bread unleavened,Led by the Holy Spirit,God’s word, we hear it. The infinite and the finite,One is God, the other man.Jesus is the bridge over the chasmThat was created by Adam. The priesthood, the kingship,The royalty, the mediator,It is Jesus we worshipWho is One with the Creator. The rainbow, a sign of the mercy of God  (Genesis),The colors, the glory of God (Ezekiel),At the end, the power of God (Revelation),The rainbow, a reflection of God, Yesterday,Today,And...
