W alk with me in moonlight, to secret places where no one knows.
A cross dark, enchanted moorland, out there where the wild thyme grows.
N ever feel the need for sorrow only joy and sweet content.
D evil take the new tomorrow, we'll live our lives as nature meant.
E ach of us will know it's meaning, greet each dawn with love anew.
R ace the wild hart through the forest, bathe our bodies in morning dew.
L ove to live will be our credo, live to love our guiding thought.
U nderstanding our surroundings, nothing sold and nothing bought.
S tars will be our sentinels, watching over us as we sleep.
T ogether we will know each other, in field and mountain and forest deep.
J-AMES the son of Zebedee
U-NBLAMABLE faultless, guiltless, harmless
L-AZARUS raised from the grave and saved
I-AM Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending said He the LORD
U-NSEARCHABLE God's wisdom, knowledge, and understanding
S-TRENGTH with salvation, with power, with love, and a sound mind
L-IFE have it more abundantly
A-PPLE OF HIS EYES that we see the way
W-ALK not in darkness anymore
R-ENEW the mind daily with His Word of Faith
E-NRICHED with the river of God
N-AKED and opened before His eyes we are
C-HRIST the King came to save the world
E-TERNAL LIFE that we may have

J-anuary twenty-fifth morn
E-rases the dark night;
S-hadows have disappeared,
S-o does the twilight.
I-t's a beautiful Wednesday,
E-arly beacon begins to ascend;
C-old chill fades away,
A-s the long raindrops end.
T-alk to the well-wishers
A-bout your young age;
N-ever forget other things, through a sign language.

Placed 3rd in the Word Play Contest.
Theme: What I love to do
Behind the lively discourse is to fill the placement
Lovely familiarity before the main statement
After gallivanting the parlor is the pavement
Nice conversation, just void of any argument
Direct intentions, hidden in sweet scenting fragments
Indirect message, passing through a nice compartment
Sentences, garnished in honey for any treatment
High is the soul, not knowing of a waiting shipment
Mere praises, soaked in the bloated tales of achievement
Each applause, a segment to land into the moment
Not a clue, what is coming as the main part augments
Talk for loyalty, the formula for some government
Silver is made gold in words to push for a movement

M-orn has just broken,
A-llowing us to say hello;
R-ainy night has just turned
I-nto warm gleaming glow.
C-reate a beautiful day
H-aving a pleasant view;
U-se the burning light that takes us out of the blue.
P-eople of all walks of life
R-emain hopeful, waiting;
E-ach day morn shall break,
S-eptember thirtieth comes shining.
T-alk and walk so right
O-bey the words from heaven;
Z-ealously learn to move on,
A-s the morn has just broken.
