The poem, titled “Stones Speaking: The Unsilenced Choir of Creation Sings Victorious Songs About Jesus Christ Our Lord”, reimagines the biblical moment from Luke 19:40 (KJV): “And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.” It portrays a world where human praise falls silent, and the gemstones of the earth—ruby, sapphire, emerald, amethyst, diamond, topaz, onyx, garnet, and quartz—rise in a triumphant chorus for Jesus Christ. Each stone sings with a unique voice: ruby trumpets His victorious blood, sapphire offers deep hallelujahs, emerald exults in His eternal dawn, and so on. These rocks are not quiet because they are forged by the Creator’s hand to proclaim His triumph—songs of war won, hosannas, and battle hymns—celebrating Jesus as Lord. The poem blends vivid imagery, concise language, and a contemplative yet victorious tone, emphasizing creation’s unyielding praise for Christ’s redemptive glory.

What if we hush?
The ruby blazes—a trumpet blast,
not quiet, for it shouts
a victor’s anthem,
red as Jesus’ blood that won.
Sapphire resounds,
a deep blue hallelujah,
sung to Christ from caverns unbowed.

Emeralds flare,
green with the thrill of rising,
their chorus a bold alleluia
to Jesus, Lord of dawn unbroken.
Amethyst rings out triumph,
violet and fierce,
diamond strikes the air—
a fanfare for Christ’s unshattered light.

Topaz ignites,
gold as the crown Jesus reclaimed,
its song a battle hymn of joy.
Onyx rolls deep,
a thunder of glory
to our Lord from earth’s own vault.
Garnet pulses—red, relentless—
a march of overcome for Jesus,
quartz gleams clear,
a peal of hosannas
no shadow can mute.

They are not quiet,
these unshaken singers.
Forged in fire,
split for splendor,
they bear the triumph of Jesus Christ—
anthems of a war He won,
praises that storm the silence,
a roar of victory
etched in their bones,
sung when we cannot
to crown the air with His light.

The poem, titled “The Rocks Cry Out in Jeweled Praise”, imagines a world where human voices fall silent, and gemstones take up the task of praise. Inspired by Luke 19:40, it describes various gems—ruby, sapphire, emerald, amethyst, diamond, topaz, onyx, garnet, and quartz—each contributing its unique voice to a divine chorus. From fiery shouts to deep rumbles, the rocks and gems sing eternally, their vibrant cries rising from the earth to proclaim our Savior’s truth and glory.

If mortal lips should cease to sing,
The earth itself will praise its King.
The ruby glows with fiery shout,
While sapphire hums a hymn devout.

Emeralds gleam with verdant cheer,
Their whispers rise for all to hear.
Amethyst in purple tones,
Joins diamond’s chime from ancient stones.

Topaz sparks with golden cries,
Onyx rumbles, deep and wise.
Garnet wails a crimson plea,
Quartz resounds in harmony.

From jagged cliffs to polished gems,
The rocks cry out through roots and stems,
A chorus vast, unyielding, free,
Proclaiming truth eternally.

“The Horrors of Antisemitism” depicts Israel and the Jewish people as enduring beacons of faith and resilience against a relentless, shape-shifting hatred. It paints antisemitism as a pervasive evil—ancient yet thriving in modern forms like online vitriol and physical attacks—threatening a people bound by a sacred covenant. The poem suggests that supporting them aligns with justice and divine will, reflecting their unyielding spirit in the face of persecution. It ends with a resolute call to sustain the Jewish people, portrayed as precious and indelibly marked, protected by God’s unwavering watch.

Beneath the sky where history weeps,
A nation stands where faith runs deep.
To lift its star is to hold a light,
Against the shadows that claw the night.

The venom spreads, a whispered hate,
Through screens and streets, it lies in wait.
A specter old, with modern guise,
Defiles the truth with ancient lies.

Synagogues burn, the words turn vile,
A people marked by time’s long trial.
Yet still they rise, unbroken, bold,
A covenant carved in tales of old.

To stand with them, some say, is just,
To echo God through ash and dust.
For in their struggle, a mirror gleams—
The fight for hope amid the screams.

The horror creeps, a rising tide,
Antisemitism’s ceaseless stride.
Sustain the precious, etched in stone,
God’s gaze their shield, never alone.

This poem celebrates the enchanting beauty of birds singing at dawn, weaving their voices into a vibrant symphony. It opens with the first light trembling through a chorus of sparrows, finches, and warblers, their notes threading silver, gold, and sapphire into the air, piercing the quiet with delicate yet bold melodies. The scene deepens as trees hold still to cradle the thrush’s amber song and the blackbird’s velvet tones, creating a rising and falling tide of sound amid misty leaves and dewy grass—an ancient yet fresh music. The poem closes with a reflective wonder at the unseen force tuning this wild choir, each bird’s chirp a prayerful note, blending into a serene, enduring beauty that hints at a divine hand behind the morning’s dawn.

At dawn’s first blush, the air trembles—
a chorus spills from twig and bough,
the sparrow’s trill, a silver needle,
stitching light through shadow’s shroud.
The finch ignites a thread of gold,
warbler weaves a sapphire hum,
each note a wingbeat, soft, yet bold,
a symphony the silence drums.

The trees stand still, their branches cupped,
to catch this fleeting, fragile grace—
a thrush unravels amber threads,
blackbird flings a velvet trace.
It rises, falls, a living tide,
through mist that clings to leaf and stem,
a music older than the sky,
yet new as dew on grass again.

What hand tunes this untamed choir,
this riot of beak and breath and flight?
The morning holds its secret close,
a whisper stitched in shards of light.
Each song a prayer, a fleeting psalm,
sung to the One who strung the dawn—
in every chirp, a holy calm,
a beauty wild, and never gone.

This poem exalts the divine splendor and eternal worth of the Bible, Jesus’ names, and all elements tied to His redemptive story. It begins by revering the Bible as a radiant, royal scroll—its words a scepter of heavenly power, adorned with jewel-like verses that echo grace and glory through time. The names of Jesus—King of kings, Lord of lords, Prince of Peace, and more—resound like trumpets, each title a shining testament to His unending reign. The poem then honors the sacred symbols of His life—the cross, tomb, blood, bread, and wine—as treasures of a kingdom where darkness yields to day. It concludes with a call to worship in awe, lifting praise to the timeless gifts of Scripture and Jesus’ legacy, culminating in a vision of an unfading crown raised to Jesus, to whom all hearts bow in adoration.

O hallowed Word, enthroned in light,
The Bible gleams, a royal scroll,
Its pages breathe with heaven’s might,
A scepter for the seeking soul.
Each verse a jewel, each line a crown,
Through ages vast, its truth resounds,
A golden thread from throne to town,
Where grace and glory know no bounds.

The names of Jesus—King of kings,
Lord of lords, the Prince of Peace—
Like trumpets bold, their echo rings,
A reign that never shall decrease.
Emmanuel, the Word made flesh,
Redeemer, Savior, Morning Star,
Each title shines, divinely fresh,
A regal chorus near and far.

All things of Him, the cross, the tomb,
The blood that washes sin away,
Are treasures of the sacred womb,
Where night surrenders to the day.
The bread, the wine, the whispered prayer,
The Spirit’s flame, the Father’s call,
In every sign, His beauty there,
A kingdom vast, embracing all.

Bow low, ye hearts, in awe adore,
Lift high the praise that never fades,
For Scripture’s voice and Jesus’ lore
Are royal gifts that time evades.
With trembling hands and bended knee,
We worship at this holy flame,
A crown unfading, pure, and high,
To Jesus raised, our hearts comply.

Thorns To Triumph by Debbie Harris

This poem reflects on the obedience Jesus learned through suffering, as described in Hebrews 5:8, tracing His journey from agony to triumph. It begins in Gethsemane’s shadowed gloom, where the divine Son, wrapped in human flesh, endures thorns and blood-red sweat. Suffering weaves a harsh lesson through the cross’s brutality—whips, nails, and a burdened sigh—yet this obedience breaks open in resurrection. The tomb yields to dawn’s golden spill, revealing a King risen with star-like scars, His hands bearing the warmth of sacrifice. Nature whispers His victory—sparrows sing, winds murmur—while the poem crescendos to a triumphant close: Jesus floods the darkness with day, shattering death through His costly obedience.

In Gethsemane’s bruised dusk,
the olive trees leaned close,
their gnarled fingers tracing
a shadow’s weight across His brow.
Son though He was—
eternity’s pulse in fragile skin—
He knelt where thorns whispered,
where sweat bloomed red as poppies.

Obedience was no golden thread,
no harp strung taut with triumph,
but a jagged seam stitched
through the sinew of suffering—
a whip’s crack, a nail’s bite,
the slow creak of a cross
bearing heaven’s own sigh.

Yet see how the lesson broke open:
a stone rolled loose like a sigh,
dawn spilling gold across the tomb’s lip,
lilies nodding at the impossible—
a King schooled in sorrow,
rising with scars like stars,
His hands still warm with the cost.

The sparrow knows this tune,
the wind hums it through reeds,
how suffering bent the royal knee
and crowned it with a wilder grace.
Through the dark classroom of pain,
He learned what sons of dust forget:
to obey is to shatter death,
For Jesus floods the dark with day.
