Autumn Almanac

All the stars in the sky will be dissolved 

 and the heavens rolled up like a scroll; 

all the starry host will fall 

like withered leaves from the vine, 

 like shriveled figs from the fig tree.

~  Isaiah 34

The Future

 

See, Damascus will no longer be a city 

but will become a heap of ruins.

~ Isaiah 17

I Ain't That Kind Of Baby

Can a mother forget 

the baby at her breast 

and have no compassion 

on the child she has borne? 

Though she may forget, 

 I will not forget you!

~ Isaiah 49

Black Coffee

I go about blackened, but not by the sun; 

I stand up in the assembly and cry for help.

~ Job 30

Autumn Stone

Do I have the strength of stone?

~ Job 6
