THE COMMING OF HIS FEET

In the crimson of the morning, in the whiteness of the noon,

In the amber glory of the day's retreat,

In the midnight, robed in darkness, or the gleaming of the moon,

I listen to the coming of His feet.

*****

I heard His weary footsteps on the sands of Galilee,

On the Temple's marble pavement, on the street,

Worn with weight of sorrow, faltering up the slopes of Calvary,

The sorrow of the coming of His feet.

*****

Down the minster aisles of splendor, from betwixt the cherubim,

Through the wondering throng, with motion strong and fleet,

Sounds His victor tread approaching, with a music far and dim-

The music of the coming of His feet.

*****

Sandaled not with sheen of silver, girded not with woven gold,

Weighted not with shimmering gems and odors sweet,

But white-winged and shod with glory in the Tabor light of old-

The glory of the coming of His feet.

*****

He is coming, O my spirt, with His everlasting peace,

Whit His blessedness immortal and complete;

He is coming, O my spirit, and His coming brings release-

I listen for the coming of His feet.

A BIT OF COLOR

I know it is WINTER most everyone is knee deep in snow, well maybe...giggle..

So I thought I share a photograph of

FALL

 This was taken in my garden area.

This photo was taken with my Coolpix P4 it is such a good little camera.

ART DECO SWAP

My friend CattyCat is hosing a swap over at ATCsforALL.com 

DECO ART

CattyCat sent each of us 9 cards that where printed up into a pattern

with plenty of bare white spaces of all size. 

Now that was a challenge! 

We were not to cover much of the printed sections of the card

these cards go together like a puzzel.

Once everyone turn their cards in, we will be given

9 different cards back.

I can't imagine how they will go together with all the

different styles, patterns, collages, drawings

that each artist did to their cards. 

Here is my 9 cards that I will be sending in.

 

It is hard to cypher here which part is hand drawn and which part is the pre-printed Art Deco Pattern.

I am making another set just for me all in children I notice on the one I am making for myself that I am covering up a bit of the patterns. Since it is for me it does not matter.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

THE DOOR-BELL

I never hear it ring without

A creepy little thrill

Expectant of some possible

Adventure, good or ill.

***

It may be just a friend who comes

To have a cup of tea;

It may be just a letter's old

Familiar mystery.

***

It may be one who comes to sell

Some queer, unwanted thing;

Or one who brings the latest news

Of war and uncrowned king.

***

It may be just these happenings

Of every-day, but still

I never hear it ring without

That funny little thrill.
