Brigham Young, the Mormon prophet
Pointed to the west; they crossed it
North, east, south, west sent colonies,
And has his name on universities.
Brigham Young, who led the Mormons after the assassination of their founding prophet Joseph Smith, led the Mormon Pioneers from "Winter Quarters" (a spot near what is now Omaha Nebraska) to what is now Salt lake City, Utah, then established colonies in most of the western states, south-western Canada, and northern Mexico. Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, is the largest religious, and one of the largest private, universities in the USA, and has branches in Hawaii and Idaho. There is a monument in Washington DC to B.Y. for him being the great colonizer. Most groups that went west did so seeking gold or land, but didn't worry about those who followed. When the Mormons crossed, they widened mountain gaps, made maps, planted seeds, set up river crossings etc to make it easier for later groups to follow.
“Man became a living soul”
when the LORD God Almighty
“breathed into his nostrils the breath of life…”
according to the Scriptures’ Genesis 2:7.
Such truth makes my soul divine
always delighted for heavenly communion
ready to have fellowship with the Creator
as well as to worship in the beauty of His holiness
where sublime peace and triumphant bliss pervade.
Midst vibrant relationship with the Lord
I strive to surmount challenges
since He constantly restores my soul
directing my faith toward paths of righteousness
and stewardship journey for soulwinning pursuits
that build lives by the grace so provident.
Grateful to the Saviour for my redemption
I live for Him, optimizing moments of joyous serving
while readying to join my life Source
Who makes my being profitable
along this assertion: “…Thou wilt not leave my soul in hell.”*
*Psalm 16:10

Straight black shiny hair
Oh it's what make you fair
Gently, I'll hold don't flare
Entwining my arms around your waist
Oh time! I don't want to waste
Please don't ever ever detest
All I want is to feel and be rest
Your warmth relax breath
Along the hallow of my throat
Undeniably making my heart throb
Adding trembles that abodes
Don't release a squirm, just feel
Long before a dream but now real
Sigh and lean, do not chill
Isn't it this hug a wonderful thrill?

Hug - a gesture that comforts, soothes, encourages and cares....
Is the grass greener
On the other side,
Or just a different shade?
Could one even
Find shelter
In a single blade?
A question I had to ask
As I watched him laugh,
With his whole being...
That I could not help,
But to be taken aback.
And what was behind,
That intriguing smile?
So charming and guile,
It was his company
I've found to be,
More than worthwhile.
His secrets revealed,
Impossible for him
To hide,
For he does not know,
That when he talks
On the things
He cares about,
A passionate glint,
Suddenly appears,
Into his eyes.
And I am left,
Questioning,
How was I,
Caught by surprise.
Leading me
to wonder,
Is the grass greener,
On the other side,
Or just a different shade?
I look over the fence,
Where he stands,
And I cannot,
Turn away.
Her soul feelings for him are all balled up inside
She cannot get out the words
She does not run
Yet she can hide
Here he comes again
The man she thought she had fantasized
Yet here he is in the flesh, the man of her dreams
That man
His soul feelings for her are all twisted in a knot
He dares not speak for he might be rebuffed
He passes her gently
Keeping his feelings inside
They pass each other every day for years
Neither speaking
For they both have such fears
When a "hello" is said at last,
Eyes are rapidly averted away
Neither staying to talk
Neither staying to play
That hello which could have been the start
Was simply another barb
To each of their hearts
One finally could not tolerate it
And moved away
Without explanation
They did not pass the next day.
He's been the source of my relief
backbone of my spiritual belief
He gives me such a sense of peace
He's been my ladder when I couldn't reach
I'll use His guidance and I'll teach
I'll kneel to Him and I'll beseech
I'm everything you see because God loves me
He's been my strength when I felt weak
I hear His voice It sounds so sweet
I lift my hands to give Him praise
for giving me another day
He comforts me no matter when
I thank Him time and time again
I'm everything you see because God loves me
{refrain}
God to You I give praise
love You in every way
need You all of my days
just You show me the way
whenever darkness manifests
I turn to Him for He is blessed
He's never ever let me down
lifted me up to higher ground
I come to Him in supplication
for spiritual rejuvenation
I'm everything I am
because I love Him
and when I read the Holy Scriptures
I finally get the full gospel picture
that on His word I do believe
there's nothing I cannot achieve
He is my one and only King
for Him I'll do most anything
I'm everything I am because I love Him
{refrain}
as I go higher and higher on
to reach the Kingdom of Zion
I know that He will meet me there
no need to have any fear
I will eternally reside
in Heaven by His graceful side
I'm all that I can be, because God loves me
my prayers have finally been rejoined
and up to Heaven I rise on
now I can truly see the Light
God's Kingdom is within my sight
with Him I will forever rest
sinless and now forever blessed
I'm all that I can be because God loves me
{refrain}
and now I look upon His face
I bow to Him in all His grace
there's no place I would rather be
right here with God beside of me
there's no more searching around
with Him I truly have been found
I'm where I want to be because God loves me
I'm where I want to be because God loves me
I'm where I need to be because God loves me
In my global village, Oxy, where folks live all alone,
There’s lots of open secrets, for secrets are well-known!
Fairly dark alien residents live with us above ground.
A dull roar or deafening silence you hear when they’re around.
In mobile homes, alone together, some big babies live,
hanging out with old boys. Head butts they like to give!
An idiot savant is here, and he is terribly nice.
His glasses are half empty, and he likes to use hot ice.
Non-working mothers are employed here as paid volunteers.
Infinite in number, earth angels are those dears.
One skinny broad likes idle gossip. With sad clowns she talks.
She gets cold sweats. In restless sleep, she wakens from sleep walks.
A petty officer with some lame effort likes to find romance.
She wears tight slacks but lusts for men who only wear dress pants.
A gentleman bandit had brief longing for a student teacher.
Her morbid humor was, for him, her second best feature.
Mostly in my village, folks are devilishly good.
Private citizen have open house in every neighborhood.
Others, though, are pretty ugly; some are really fake.
The highly depressed with quiet rage are just too hard to take!
All that aside, with mild enthusiasm, I must say,
I love the mud baths, rock gardens, and elevated subway.
Come visit. You’ll love our jumbo shrimp, local celebrities,
work holidays and free love; all make forgotten memories!
Written Aug. 26, 2016 for David Lindsay's Oxymoronic Obsession Contest
Every line has one or more oxymorons. This was great fun!
...He struck with the gunstock, smashed the man’s teeth,
then dropped the weapon and ran hurriedly,
Indians saw him, three of them gave chase,
he dashed for the woods in a deadly race.
Around him the woods were filled with the yells
of men and women, fleeing like himself,
cut down or captured, to be sold as slaves
up north in Quebec, where war captives paid.
He tripped over roots, he ducked behind trees,
and ever behind him came their swift feet,
for hours he ran, his lungs howling,
yet still he heard the bastards following.
But there were less feet now, two sets of them,
he heard ragged breaths coming from both men,
he heard words that he could not understand,
bits and pieces of the sound as he ran.
He came to a stream, rock-choked and rapid,
behind a large boulder mid-stream he hid,
and picked up a rock the size of his foot,
against a musket it wouldn’t do much good.
But by the creek’s edge he heard angry shouts,
between the two men, there could be no doubt,
they were arguing from the tone of their words,
were they thinking this more work than its worth?
One threw up his hands, started walking north,
the other cursed him, and walked down the shore,
looking for tracks, still focused on his prize,
how near Ned was he did not realize…
Until Ned leapt out, hurled the rock at his head,
it hit and the man slumped to the riverbed.
Ned sprinted for him, slammed down with both fists,
then jerked the brave’s head in a brutal twist.
The man went lax, fell into the water,
Ned took his gun, his knives and his powder,
waited not a moment, kept going south,
as fast as his battered frame would allow.
He reached Fort Edward come the next morning,
other survivors had come, trickling,
hundreds of souls dead in the massacre,
the British claimed Montcalm had broken his word!
News spread quite far of the great treachery,
cries of horror at the French perfidy,
in the colonies it was soon to be said
that a surrender would just leave you dead.
Montcalm himself was soon in a hard place,
his native allies saw him as a disgrace
tor trying to temper their victory
many of them left, his numbers did bleed...
CONCLUDES IN PART V.
Mischievous Cats
Bella and Shadow nestled in their woven beds on the cat tree.
Bella stretches out her legs and purrs.
"Psst, Psst. Hey, Shadow, are you up for some fun?"
"Sure!” Shadow purred, "What do you have in mind?"
"Let's go tease Peeddie.
Let's see how far he can stretch from his leash.
He is always eager to see us come near;
a stretch from his leash, whip lash for him."
Together, bolting for the stairs, they waited, looking around.
Out the pet door they hurried, down the porch steps and started across the yard.
Shadow caught up with Bella.
They crept ahead with a mission, staying low, using the bushes for cover.
Peeddie lies basking in the sun sleepy against a stake driven firmly into the ground, instead of his pillow inside his home.
Bella and Shadow creep forward through the mulch beneath the bushes,
a twig snapped off to one side.
Bella stared at Shadow and whispered,
"Hush! We don't want to warn Peeddie we're close."
Peedie, arose when he heard the snap, saw the two cats,
with precision, unleash his position.
"Uh-Oh!" Bella hissed and spat.
"W-h-a-t? Oh my gosh! ", Shadow said.
Somersaulted back home; for it had rain the night before and the ground became so soft, Peeddie had pulled out the stake.
Bella and Shadow bolted across the yard back through the pet door up the stairs.
They found out it was better to sleep like a mouse and let sleeping dogs lie.
Moral of the story,
Leave something alone if it might cause trouble.

Nowdays society is in total chaos, don't keep asking yourself
" If Anything ever changes ": who dares to fight has no fear;
making the same mistake is silly, try to improve yourself,
choose positivity to free doubt from desolation and despair.
Don't sit in that corner for too long and wish for happiness,
we create our own misery and break down quite easily;
we have to walk in someone else's shoes to feel distress,
how a dire condition affects everything we say irrationally.
The beggar in raggy clothes will continue to tremble
drinking his way to death, will anyone feel sympathy?
if anything ever changes for him, it's some divine miracle:
he made his choice, now he reaps the harvest of misery.
If we judge who has lost all, we should be judged,
bitterness for a wrong can be emotional, if not fatal,
brace yourself for serenity, practice love, not hatred:
humble people have more faith, are the rich spiritual?
Why envy others for their success and not rise
to the challenge they have taken: admire them;
sacrifices take much pain, the reward is immense:
doers achieve a lot, their future never looks grim.
