Once again our ‘Weekend Inspiration’ comes from Lorraine Sazbo, who is a wonderful friend of the ministry. To know Lorraine, is to know what an inspiring lady of faith she is. so we hope you enjoy her poem ‘Summer Echoes’.

SUMMER ECHOES

 

A DISTANT DRONE OF A LAWNMOWER

REMINDS ME OF GRASS REGROWTH,

OF LEAVES DANCING IN A WALTZ WITH BREEZES

RUSTLING IN NATURE’S MUSIC.

SUMMER STORMS THAT RELEASE SKIES

OF EBONY THUNDER AND SPIKED LIGHTNING,

REMIND ME THAT SORROWS PASS

AS DO SEASONS OF HUMANITY.

LIVES AND LOVE CHANGES AND ARE RE-ARRANGED

AS GOD MAKES IT INFINITELY SO,

OF PAIN, SUFFERING AND GRIEF TO BE LET GO

AS DID HE, THE ONE WHO FELT IT ALL,

KNOWING HOW MUCH MORE SEED

TO SOW FOR YOU TOWARDS HIM GROW

RISE UP, SEEK HIS WILL FROM ABOVE,

TO BLESS, TO LIFT YOUR SPIRIT FROM BELOW.

 

LILAC JACARANDAS BLOOM AND SHED

TO SCATTER LIKE A CARPET EVERYWHERE.

RAINBOW ROSE PETALS COLOUR GREY FENCES

AND WEAVE SCENT AS WE PASS BY.

HEAT BEATS, SHADOWS FLEE,

SILENT DUST SWIRLS IN SLOW DRIFTS,

SEA AND SAND SCARCELY MOVE

UNDER STILL CLOUDS

AND WARM SHELLS SLEEPING LIE

TO CRACKLE AND SINK UNDER FEET BARE

CAN YOU NOT SEE THAT GOD IS HERE,

 

EVERYWHERE NEAR

 

LISTEN, HIS SPIRIT YOU WILL HEAR
