Things Are Looking Up

Things are looking up. When soul is lemon-squeezed and gutter-balled, where else can it go? When spirit is avalanche-prone, barreling spiral of mountain-top madness plunging to certain death in cataclysmic fury, getting up is supreme progress!

Things are looking up.

When soul is lemon-squeezed

and gutter-balled,

where else can it go?

When spirit is avalanche-prone,

barreling spiral of mountain-top madness

plunging to certain death in

cataclysmic fury,

getting up is

supreme progress!

When  bottom is a taste in the teeth

and a grit in the face,

raising head to heaven

is elevation,

promotion,

accession to the Throne.

    How, how, how do you continue to write such wonderful interpretations? Fantastic. And, it is wonderful for me that you chose to write about sunflowers – one of my Dad’s favorite flower to grow.

      I write about each type of flower in turn, as they erupt in my garden. It is sunflower season, so expect more in the days ahead! It is a lovely legacy to remember a father who loved God’s creation so much..

        Again – you are SO incredibly talented. Do you sing, too?

      2. melodylowes

        Yep – write music and perform for my church. But there are a LOT of things I CAN’T do – so it all evens out in the wash! 🙂
