original poems, short stories, and more by Revka Stearns

1. God made the mountains tall, and God made the trees.
God made the leaves that fall, and He made the seas.
All creatures large and small – Elephants and bees -
Aren’t you glad that God made them all?

The dampness invaded her consciousness, its chill pulling her from pleasant thoughts. Puzzled, she looked around, taking in the changes to her surroundings.
When did it become so foggy? While thin, the fog’s misty fingers were strong enough to penetrate her clothes, causing a slight shiver to tremble through her. Attempting to recapture some of the warmth that had fled in the mist’s presence, she wrapped her arms tightly around her body as she continued to survey her location.
I hate fleas, but fleas love me.
They gnaw and they chew like I’m some kind of treat.
It seems they think I’m most delicious to eat.

Legos and planes
Helicopters, too, -
Sweet golden boy, I love you.
I was lost in my sin
Had no peace or joy within

Where they preached God’s Holy Word,
And at last my sin I learned
When the gospel there I heard.

I built a fortress, tall and strong -
Built it deep and built it long.

Until they nearly reached the sky,
Sheltering, protecting, shutting out
Tears within and fears without.
