A quest for stasis Amidst the unrelenting flux. Ought I to pursue permanence In the face of inevitable revolution? Or must I cede to the torrid blaze, Yield to the detritus and decay, Surrender to the somnolence and silence, And act as though some fleeting verdant renaissance, Forms adequate compensation For the impending gusts of…
God Of All Seasons
The summer heat can be hard to bear Tough times for good people just doesn’t seem fair The Australian summer seems intent on suffocating life Drought, flood, fire, illness – continued strife Yet the Lord watches over me and is my shade at my right hand1 Autumn leaves change colour and fall across the land…
The Carpenter
Seeing other people’s lives Cars and lights flashing by I feel we’re running out of time To think about Jesus’ sacrifice As the Son of God there was Something he was given To be made with precision He received a decision He could sacrifice himself To save undeserving people Or he could simply leave us…
1 Autumn + 2 Winters = I Surrender
I was born in Autumn, in April, Back then it was simple. The days when there were no worries in the world, Crying when hungry and I get bottled. When choosing clothes for preschool was stressful, Trying not to look like a fool, yet cool. Moved to a new country, Not easy, but quite a…
