Like Music Notes (In a Brand, New Love Song)
Happy April!
My, how a month doth fly!!April is the month of the poem-a-day challenge! From ...here is today's prompt.
"It's time for the first day of the ! Each day, I'll provide a poetry prompt and a poem to get things started. You can secretly poem along at home, or you can share your poem in the comments below.
For today's prompt, write an optimistic poem. I find the beginnings of things to be a time of great optimism. Whether it's the beginning of a sporting season or a month (or even a week), there's so much opportunity available. But optimism can exist anywhere and at any time; so don't limit your optimism to the beginnings of things."
Today we embark ona new day, a new week and a new month!All great new reasons to embrace optimism!
Behind us lies the dust and ash of seasons spilled and spentUnfurling in its aftermath a bittersweet tableauOf what may sometimes seem like a cosmic experimentOf love, learning how to hold on while learning to let go
Like an unblemished phoenix today gleams, a priceless stoneIn hands where we, fumbling proprietors of precious timeProceed, through daybreak's gaping door, vessels of skin and boneAnd Soul, shouldering grin and groan as on and up we climb
I love the loveliness of a new day, like a clean sweepLike a fresh page, rather than yesterday's returned 'so-long' I love the way the ending as we drifted off to sleepEvolves into the Intro of a whole new worship song
Behind us lies the old; the dust and ash of ages set Before us gleams the new; like treasure from an unplumbed trove Beneath us streams a fresh measure of moments never met Like music notes composing brand-new hymns of hope and love Janet Martin
Psalm 100 is a glorious way to refresh optimism withunfaltering truth from the Word of GodA perfect wat to start a newday-week-month!
Make a joyful noise to the LORD,
all the earth.
Serve the LORD with gladness;
come into His presence with joyful songs.
Know that the LORD is God.
It is He who made us, and we are His;
we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter His gates with thanksgiving
and His courts with praise;
give thanks to Him and bless His name.
For the LORD is good,
and His loving devotion endures forever;
His faithfulness continues to all generations.
