Rising Sun

 

 

Wake up to sunshine!

 

Psalm 113:3 (NIV)
From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets,
the name of the Lord is to be praised.

  1. A different take on Rising Sun…

    ‘Tokko’

    Oh, Father, they are coming,
    they’ve broken every line,
    and in their closer drumming
    I do believe it’s time.
    Oh, Father, don’t despise me;
    I know that I have sinned.
    It is now my fell destiny
    to become Divine Wind.
    Let my body be the weapon
    and my heart its fissile core,
    and in my death, please reckon
    that I never left this war.
    I will rise above the blasted plain
    in hope that with you, I remain.

    ‘Tokko’ is an abbreviation of Tokobetsu Kogekitai (‘Special Attack Unit’), which was the official monniker for the kamikaze (‘Divine Wind’).

  2. Hope you like this one…it’s fresh!

    The wings of the morning
    have always stirred my soul
    with new hope a-borning
    and the dream of being whole.
    The dew-drops are a treasure-field
    of myriad precious stones
    shining with a colour-yield,
    God’s visual cologne.
    Could this be like Heaven,
    with gems as a foundation,
    and the magic air a leaven
    a balm of salutation?
    In a life so often painful flint,
    perhaps, for hope, God gives a hint.

  3. Shirlee Abbott says:

    “God’s visual cologne.” Let me spritz a bit on me and head out in the world to be the fragrance of Christ–the glow of God.
