Giving My Gift Away


 Giving My Gift Away   by Clara Mitchell 5/29/2024


I am giving multiple births over my lifetime.

The births are not flesh and blood.

The births are words inside of me.

The words have my voice.

My DNA is etched inside each line.

The imagery is developed over time.

It grows and grows till it is understood.


Poetry has a lifespan--

It depends on the words.

It can live on and on

Or pass away by evening.


Creativity is not bound by its passing.

Inside every poet or writer is an inkwell.

An inkwell that patiently waits to be filled up.

Inspiration helps,

Prayer invites our ears to hear God,

I meditate on different concepts.

The pen begins to use the inkwell.

There are signs of life across the page.


At last, another overflow of ink.

Many lines appear out of nowhere.

It is like a sudden shower

Only to be gone in an hour.


I am in the final push of birthing new poems.

I have more inside.

I gladly give my gift away.

The timing is of the Lord.

There comes an end for all things,

So new things can begin.

I will endure to the end.


Again, ideal for a devotional. The birthing imagery is clear as God gave me the words for this poem. He is the creator of all life, and our gifts and talents are given by Him. The Bible says, "Today is the day of Salvation!" 2 Corinthians 6:2. Confess with mouth and believe in our hearts that Jesus is our Lord and Savior, who paid the price for our sins and gave us by faith thru grace, true salvation. Amen

  by Clara Mitchell   To be or not to be? Hamlet's question is still and remains very interesting. What if God had asked the same question at the start of creation? Instead of Light be, what if He had asked Light be or not to be? God was teaching us as our creator from the get go. Words can create what we cannot see. Words when spoken create an energy around us. The energy takes shape to form our world. Our faith in God's Word is activated as we decree it. Faith builds on scriptures and it is a substance. In today's language it is a controlled substance. Faith is in God's control and we wait for His Word to activate. God aligns us to His will for His glory. His plan is always higher than our own. Seeking God requires anyone one of us to believe. Without faith, we cannot please God. But with faith many rewards are given by God To those who diligently seek him. (Hebrews 11:6)

Winds of Change Continue

Winds of Change Continue         by Clara Mitchell 4/21/2024 Am I losing my touch? I mean, am I out of touch? My mood moves like a child's swing, What is pushing me to go higher? Is it God or is it me, Or is it both? My life is going in many new directions. It is because of the winds of change set over me. The winds will die down soon- As soon as the changes take hold of me. Until that time, I am looking down from a whirlwind. What changes will God arrange That cause such mighty winds to blow? Is there a way to know my next? I am held in suspense by a spiritual whirlwind. The Holy Spirit calls me to deeper faith. I am no longer looking down from this whirlwind. When I grow in faith, I cannot remain the same. Over time, other winds of change Will remove more doubt and unbelief. Faith lifts me higher. Now I can move mountains. The Holy Spirit is my guide into all truth. (John 16:13) He sends the winds of change at the right time.

Content Creators and More

  Content Creators The writers and poets, Creators of content and more, Face every morning as if A new idea will appear out of nowhere. Wishful thinking my friend. Ideas are content makers. My content calendar is spotty. I have a morning routine. After my routine, I am fast at work creating A new poem for my calendar. The creation process is in stages An inkwell hides from the pen. The writer or poet mistakes the spotty calendars as empty days. What often appears blank or invisible Is necessary to complete the thought process. The ideas all come together. Each idea embeds like a player Inside my mind until all the ideas orchestrate a symphony of sounds. The sounds of each creation Plays out until the time Comes for more calendar content. My calendar is like a talent scout. Needs summon talent. Who needs my talent? What ideas and inkwells are still hiding? The writers are content creators. I see my poetic pen move by God's Spirit.
