IMMORTALITY unfolds with Tanka Poetry

This being human is to me.
Many are, all called few chosen.
With God’s saving grace, dream to find.
Be not presumptuous but hope.
That city with many mansions
Will there be, I hope, one for me?
This being human, yes, a chance.
That city above reaches high.
Brimming with love for you and I.
The only way, one way, He said!
Being human means lasting joy
He paid the price, and now it’s free.
A prompt that creates tears to flow as a river is described here for the interested brought to my attention by reading Colleens site today! Thank you Colleen!
January 28, 2021, prompt: In 99 syllables/words (no more, no less), write a story about life as a river of consciousness. I tried a Double Ennead as Colleen’s Contribution. To participate, here’s the link: CARROT RANCH I also wrote the same in the requested 99 word (no more, no less) prompt.
My Double Ennead
Child is born, parents with
high hopes, their baby
a sprinkle grows — a world pulls child into it.
growing while still flowing
began a small stream
Gravity pulls it down
moving toward an
ocean of eternity. Banking down — down!
the river’s future with
twists and turns, the bends
The land around is life!
with uphill climbs or
easy low valley flows —rolling from a height
with ups downs. Life, that gift
ends — Begins Again!
My 99 word story
A child is born, parents have high hopes, small as a sprinkle, and grows as the world pulls the child into it.
Growing and flowing began a small stream. Gravity pulls it down, moving toward an ocean of eternity. Banking, down to the river’s future. The twists and turns, the bends. The land around is life! Changing from an uphill climb to a comfortable flow in a low valley. Life as a river flowing from height, beginning down through the world. Ups, downs, twists, bends. Life, a gift — a river that someday will end. Ends — or begins again?
This SixWordStory was a comment I read watching the hearing concerning Amy C. Barrett.
“Temperature in Hell a chilly 1degree”
Had to share it!
Don’t start your day without saying, Thank You to God!
He and He alone opened the gates of Heaven for those who accept His sacrifice. For those who do not accept Him; pray for them for as long as they have breath, God is not done with them yet.
Just thinking of the temporal things we enjoy is more reason to say, “Thank You!”
I am grateful for my Traditional Catholic Faith, family, friends, and even those I don’t agree with, for they teach me patience and make me stronger.
We all have so little time, compared to eternity (forever), be thankful for the time given. When I am grateful, I notice, the more I ask, the more I am given.
Try it!

Here we are again; time to paint a little, our paint chips can be viewed below.
The Journey, we are within —
Yesterday, like the first kiss
never again!
Bygone the golden hour of the past —
Wasted? Melted as an ice cap
Nevermore!
Will eternity be sipping amethyst wine
and camomile tea relaxing on soft clouds
or
Dodging hot pink, habanero flames
Continually seeking to devour!
How it will end depends on me!
Also, I linked this to a prompt “Euphonious” Pleasing to your eyes, reflections to ponder or food for thought. Suggested at RDP click here to join.
#FOWC the word of the day is simply “CASE.”
Just in case I’m gone tomorrow
Blogging here will be no longer
Words to be evermore swirling
Fixed speech going it seems nowhere!
Lastly, words searched do rekindle
Falling on eyes alive to see!
One person’s morality as
Who was; yet never more TO BE!
A One-Liner just for you!
