Overcoming Joy

Consistent chagrin
Yet forgiven by God’s grace –
Overcoming joy

written in response to the RonovanWrites Weekly Haiku Poetry Prompt Challenge – #143: “Chagrin” and “Joy”

Lead me into Something New

Standing on the cusp
With my head and hands held high
My heart open wide
Expectantly waiting, Lord –
Lead me into something new

In earlier times –
Church meetings
Held in secret;
Tombs marked,
Hallmarked,
Under the
Sign of the Fish

Day 4 of Na/GloPoWriMo, and today’s challenge is to write a poem with a secret – which functions as a sort of riddle with a word or idea or line that it isn’t expressing directly.
