Their vibrato hanging within bell jars;

Unlabelled boxes trying to hide

On our slowly spinning planet home
Yet with a subtlety in such quantity

BABELBABEL
It was a tower, built to avoid a second flood
Erected in Babylonia, that Nimrod planned

A Still LadySo dainty how she held the tea cup,
sipping showing off manicured nails;
I walk in and fall with a thump;
Hot spots splotch a face that pales,
yet never do they hear me scream;

A story based on fact – well, perhaps
It seems picky to suggest any correction
Many details, but also with some gaps

My life journey thus farFinally my blood began to coagulate,
signalling that wounds inflicted by fate had healed,
paving way for my presence, to pass through heaven’s gate.

Faith Moves Mountains - and Hearts
Faith fans the flames of ever peace, endless grace
It burns up all doubt, ensuring the way out,
Seeing the forest, despite trees who displace.

It shines a light...

From a state of stasis, one can awake...
