The Masnavi of Giti and Saeed - Part 21, 22 and 23

Part Twenty-One — Saeed's Supplication to God

One day with flute and mournful song,
Saeed began a prayer so long.

His patience broke, he lost his hold,
His heart grew weary, tired, and cold.

Disheartened by both friend and kin,
Sorrow consumed his soul within.

He turned toward the starlit sky
And raised to heaven his mournful cry:

"O Lord, Creator of all worlds,

I take heed of what I’m too scared to admit, 
Keep stepping on, 
Sometimes you just take the lead and head on into the darkest abyss. 
Focus hard on what it is that you miss, 
Make time for yourself, 
Sometimes you’ve gotta remind yourself that you exist. 
Take heed of what you transmit, 
Cantankerous,
Cancerous,

23 Minutes

Survival in spite of a series of unfortunate events, 
And despite being delirious in the head, 
I thrived in the thicket and the brush. 
The Moon’s departure was the Sun’s arrival, 
Nights in the cities was ahead, 
I felt alive again in the swish of the rush. 
Light up a diluted filter with a crush,

God Always Requires Obedience - 1 Samuel 15: 22-23

God speaks in His word of many things
but there's one word that always repeats
showing the importance God has for it
obedience is that word He loves to greet

God is delighted when we obey Him
for obedience glorifies His mighty name
no amount of sacrifices will suffice
a humble obedient saint is His aim

God hates sin like nothing else
for disobedience

Jesus Our Great High Priest - Hebrews 10: 8-23

Jesus is the great high priest
who ministers before God's throne
on behalf of the elected redeemed
being the believer's chief cornerstone

The priests in the past stood daily
offering sacrifices for sin forever
but these failed to deal with sin
only the perfect high priest could deliver

Jesus made Himself the perfect sacrifice
by one offering His own are sanctified
what a picture this

Unto God

Unto God, my soul is His.
To pick me up
when life is amiss.
My hand is His to take
and lead me by still waters
or to walk on the lake.
You hold me up and teach me this,
I will not stay above if it's Him I miss.

Psalm 23 The Lord is my Shepherd

When the Lord of all
Calls you His own
When He is your great Shepherd
You'll never be alone
For when you lose your way
Or from the fold you stray
He Will find you and carry you home. 

You will never want
There's nothing more you need
He gives you peace and rest
In pastures so green
He knows when you thirst
To living waters

A Kite Festival

Perfect day
Windy, warm
Families crowd onto the lawn
Above Fisherman's Beach

Prams, dogs, wheelchairs
Giggling youngsters
Parents saying, "Look up!"
Cameras capture glee

Big blue whale
Wafting
Above several sharks out of water
A scuba diver twirling below

Knots and nylon twine
Fluttering ribbons and tails
Happy kids everywhere
Mums, Dads holding tight
A plethora of little diamonds
Soaring
Brilliant colours glint in grey skies

23 Is Too Young To Die

When I found out you died I scrambled and panicked.

Not because you were gone, but needing proof of your presence.

I checked the last texts and tore up my bed

I want to 
throw. up.

From the last words we said.

Your friends never knew because you kept me
From you.


But then you died.


Your efforts to compartmentalize your loved ones

But I have many promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep

"But I have many promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep."

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.
I will fear no evil for you are with me.  Surely goodness and
mercy shall follow me all of the days of my life and I will
dwell in the house of
