LIKE SHIPS PASSING . . .

ART & POETRY BY PAUL & KATHY BOECHER

Spring seems so near yet so far. The ice has melted, the temps are rising, but still the shadow of winter hovers like a menacing cloud over the harbor. Soon buds will appear on the trees, birds will chirp their lovely tunes and flowers will return. New life. Fresh start. Time for a do over. Still, the memories linger, and we can’t help but long for the past. The way it was. The road trips. The love we shared. The recollection of days gone by will carry on.

A quiet, hazy morning – the wind not yet ready to hit the sails,

An ominous sky of pink tinged clouds hanging low over the still water,

Some of the boats stand anchored in the harbor while others push off to find adventure.

Where will the wind take them when once it opens billowy canvases of white?

Steam rises from heat filled waters – not a whisper of wind,

The waiting can be forever, but when the first gust fills the sails the power of God is made known.

Off to the highway of the sea.

About atimetoshare.me

As I reach the end of my years, I find I have a lot of good information stored up in this old decrepit mind of mine. If I don't write it all down, it may vanish and no one will have the advantage of my thoughts. This is why this blog exists. I love the Lord, Jesus with all my heart and soul. I know I'm undeserving of all He's done for me, but I also know that His love is beyond my comprehension. I've always wanted to write. I never kept diaries, but tucked my thoughts in my head for future reference. I use them now in creating stories, plays, poetry and my blog. I continue to learn every day. I believe the compilation of our time spent with God will have huge affect on the way we live. I know I'm a sinner and I need a Savior. I have One through Jesus, Christ. My book, "Stages - a memoir," is about the seven stages of life from the perspective of a woman. It addresses all the things girls and women go through in life as they travel it with Jesus, and it is available on Amazon.com.

    May we remain in the High-Way of God.

    Thank you for the seed thought today!
