"Beauty Abounds"
I’m amazed when beauty abounds
In hearts and souls,
In written scrolls.
I get excited when I see a
A smiling face,
A lady in fancy lace.
I’m happy when I find
Little boys at play and
Little girls who make them pay.
I smile when the aged
Hold hands on evening strolls,
Sit in rocking chairs with no place to go.
I’m amazed at the beauty found,
In fields of clover, and patties of rice;
Sunflowers drenched in morning dew.
I’m mystified by blue skies,
And lightning strikes,
Thunderheads and twister tails.
I’m puzzled by war
And men of power
Who know not flowers.
I’m tired of hate,
Placed on our plates,
With no regrets.
I am perplexed.
I long for joy,
In all we do,
In all we see,
In all we be.
We are much better
When beauty abounds
And peace surrounds.
Love reigns by God’s grace
Exuding kindness so blest
Smiting travails' woe
Conquering fortuitous pain
Highlighting care’s radiance…
With God’s grace is hope
Vibrant despite gloom of fear
Vanquishing despair
Triumphing over worry
Championing faith’s wonders…
Peace thrives midst God’s grace
Soothing anguish of heart ache
Freeing soul from guilt
Bringing joy with pardon glow
As forgiveness does prevail…
While God’s grace abounds
Mercy shines with good delight
For gratitude bliss
Showcasing worshipful praise
Yon spirit's blest revival.
Not me nor I sure to have an alibi
if I am lying than I am trying
To be as honest as circumstances show
Stretch the facts as truth as posed
not guilty for my innocence abounds
Trust evidence scarce but profound
All and all all is the same
Might, maybe, sorta looking sad
facts lean fiction, good looks bad
What ever is can not see
the case is muddle let me be
Plead doubt as justice shouts
innocence abounds with lack of clout.
Beauty Abounds
Beauty abounds, and bursts of brilliant sun are born,
with the breaking day on this beautiful morn.
Beveled bark blooms buds of brightest green
bordered with berries and blossoms in between.
The balmy breeze blows baby's breath seeds,
into the brown and broken weeds.
A brook babbles between the sun-bathed banks
Bubbling and brewing and bringing thanks.
Downstream, as bluebirds begin to bathe in the bay
We breath in the bounty and the beauty, of this blessed day.
Your intelligence is of special kinds,
Your goodness runs your enemies aground,
God's favour in your life forever binds,
Your wisdom is just undoubtedly sound.
On your face, happiness is daily found,
You are sweet like songs played by a good band,
Your handsomeness is cool all the year round,
The pure love in your heart meets all demand.
Success flows into your life with no end,
You and prosperity form solid bonds,
Your kindness daily finds hearts for a mend,
Your love cools like having a million Pounds.
Your blessings are uncountable as sand,
Your greatness penetrates all types of bounds,
Your friendship is more than a million grand,
In your life God has made his love abounds.
His music fills this moonlit night;
its etching pleasure feels so right.
As misty scents of lilacs bind,
long, peaceful slumber, pray I find.
It calms my soul with pure delight;
his music fills this moonlit night.
Though weary, I am lifted up,
and sigh with joy that fills my cup.
From his guitar, such joy abounds;
cajole myself with soothing sounds.
His music fills this moonlit night
against the aura of its light.
The moon and music bind as one;
with scents of lilacs, joy is spun.
Such calming pleasure they incite!
His music fills this moonlit night.
Spring Abounds In Abundant Bountiful Glory
The sun above opens up the door
Morbid dark foreboding skies
Get swept away
The treasure chest opens up once more
And spills its overflowing treasures
Upon the new fertile ground
As a new day and a new season is freshly born
The welcomed taste of the summer
A promise and reminder
Of things yet to come
With cheerful hearts, we can relax again
And aspire to leisurely play and have some fun
The spectacular lavish bejewelled mosaic
Of varied textures and varied colour forms
Pastel shades and hues
Please one's eyes once forlorn
Now with prosperity lifting our spirits up
Filling our famished hearts like the golden corn.
Evil Abounds
By: Miracle Man
2/4/2024
Our country suffers a great upheaval,
and the cries for help the elite don’t hear.
Big cities are overcome by evil,
and many can’t rest at night without fear.
Seems each turn we’re being confronted by slime,
carjacking’s and killing are now the norm.
Now we only dream of life without crime,
migrants crash our borders like bees to swarm.
Those who could stop this are quick to appease,
many filled with irrational thinking.
So they release them to do as they please,
the road now traveled needs some rethinking.
Just for me,
Sing soulfully.
Your words embrace me.
Why wont you face me?
Your voice haunts me so.
Your eyes all aglow.
Tender lips beckoned.
Stop for a second.
Let me breathe.
You know I must leave.
When I turn to go,
You love me so.
I decide to stay,
You push me away.
Hurtful sounds,
Trouble abounds.
Loving you I ache.
Stirs a heart break.
I gave you my all,
And you watched me fall.
Please sing as I go.
My tear drops won’t show.
My love is strong,
But I don’t belong.
I can’t stay.
I’m your yesterday.
Ooh DRC, DRC where are you?
You’re the most beautiful country in the world
You have all the resources
Your minerals abound
Your country is full of life’s necessities
Europe exists because of you
Asia, America lives because of you
You have a beautiful heart
Yet your actions are reckless
You are foolish
You are careless
You are mad
You make people rich, but only a few
You make people look beautiful, but most are scared
You make the world a comfortable place to live
Yet hell for those born on your soil
Where are you? Do you not see?
Your children are crying
Your children are dying
Your children are running from you
They have been ripped from their mother’s arms
Your husband is foolish
He is blinded by greed
You are lost
Just listen to the cries of your children
They will lead you home
By Ferdinand Nyembo.
Our Heavenly Father son wears his rightful crown
This selfless girl
Who spoke to the world
Illuminated crystals
Sparkled
Enchanting
Romancing
Love of voice
Rejoice
Bare witness
God promise
Heavenly spirit
Blessed it
Magical energy released within thee
Glorious stream of symmetry
God loyalty
Was never a conspiracy
Positive vibrations
God reigns over all creation
Love spirit made real
Heavenly Father we kneel
Love sculpted carefully
Clarity
Lifted up
Sometimes it feels like certain people are so evil there only intent to break you down.
Sometimes it’s friends, family,
People at school.
They hurt so much make you feel so inadequate.
They want you to feel the way they do.
Reach to heaven.
Hold on to God.
His grace abounds and is sufficient.
No human is qualified to judge you.
They think they can tear you apart criticize you and think they have power over you.
They are nothing!
Let God in your heart he is all powerful all knowing.
Feel no shame for he has already forgiven you. He lifts you to heaven.
Never put limits on Gods Love mercies, and grace.
Truly you are everything to him.
Through our Lord grounds
Seen the elegance of each feather
As we visited them together
Among the animals of the forest
God love felt the warmest
Stopped to see
From tree to tree
Surprising flights
Made our smiles shine bright
Ducks rose high
As they took the sky
Flew overhead
Above our heads
Seen wonders that are
Jesus Christ love saw far
As love abounds
God’s grace surrounds.
We are then cared well, blest indeed
to inspire gratefulness’ delight
while sharing bliss of kindness’ light
our hearts reach out to those in need.
To inspire gratefulness’ delight
we overcome selfishness-greed
our faith enlivens prayer creed
while sharing bliss of kindness’ light.
As love abounds
to inspire gratefulness’ delight
we enjoy every helping deed
while sharing bliss of kindness’ light
God’s grace surrounds.
God’s grace surrounds
as love* abounds.
Titus 3:4 … The kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared.

6th place, "Meditative Ballad" Poetry Writing Premier Contest
Sponsored by Emile Pinet; judged on 1/31/2022.
(redo of Quietude, which I had done incorrectly for rules of a quietus poem)
Peace abounds. Feel great calm; stay still.
Deep silence you will hear.
Watch sun sliding behind the hill.
Can you feel God is near?
This is my spirit’s food;
with joy I am imbued
in lovely quietude.
Tranquil sounds.
Peace abounds.
