Sojourn a moment, O Life, I cannot cease,
While yet my soul unfolds with dawn’s first light;
Bright are my days, and rich the world’s embrace
Where laughter springs in flight.
Sojourn a moment, O Life, I cannot cease
With all my moments unadmired,
My smiles unshared, all my songs unsung,
And all my peace unwired.
Sojourn a moment, until my heart has known
The fullness of sun and shifting skies;
Till every shadow yields its hidden gleam,
O Life, let joy arise!

No matter how life hits you
whatever circumstances you encounter
gather strength, gather spirit
gather yourself piece by piece
Don't allow yourself to be broken
Neither to people
nor to circumstances
nor to others' opinions.

Awake, in the silence of the night, a sound is heard
Winds of change whisper heaven’s secret Word
Breaking free the chains that bind and enthrall
Declaring the call to rise and stand tall
With the dawn breaking, a new day's light
Illuminates paths previously out of sight
A shift in the cosmic battles unfold
Guiding us towards our futures yet untold
Seek and activate angelic intervention
To navigate life's complex situation
Trade moments of doubt and despair
For destinies, beyond compare
Call angels to descend, their might to bestow
Guiding us through life’s trajectory high and low
Embracing life’s crown with a heart full and light
Arise beyond ups and downs, reaching new heights

No use being exaggerated

Something mysteric roams

Eye of storms are still
Do we dwell therein
In the cave of heart
Where divine light glows
Seeking our embrace
Why do we hide
In illusions
When we’re the light
That lights all lights
Oh hermit
Just be still
Voids will fill
Go back
To the

The boomeranging echo
deafening to receive
retro rockets smoking with the effort to retrieve
What dignity affords
Approaching the singularity
Where mathematics misbehave
Infinitely distorted space and time discovers I am brave
For this the final frontiers inimitable calling to me softly astral plane

Taking on a life of her own
Worlds beyond comprehensive control boweavil seeking her home
54321 Houston we have lift off
Winging through the atmosphere this star dust studded loam
Made for growth this rootless vine ideal it seams to roam
Nomadic maiden trying to ignite fire with sodden sticks
In a van down at the river
Still up to your old tricks
This hardwired struggle release
Return oh Viking warrioress
You won this fight at birth
Now sail with pride this prairie schooner when you return in peace
Rest my sweet Rest
For you are lightyears or a softly spoken word away
Prepare for your reentry
at last
Your coming home

3 vignettes in rondelet form
Salvation’s walls
provide unseen security.
Salvation’s walls
appear as God’s own glory falls
on believers like you and me.
Open the gates of faith and see
salvation’s walls.
Salvation’s robe
covers us with God’s righteousness.
Salvation’s robe
worn by staunch servants who like Job
face trials of extreme distress.
With patience bare your battle dress -
salvation’s robe.
Salvation’s lamp
burns bright as we prepare the way.
Salvation’s lamp
held high by watchmen of the camp.
Rejoice, God holds Satan at bay.
Watch! Christ will come in King’s array -
salvation’s lamp

Fearsome is this realm of contrast,
where we struggle, mile after mile,
but what comes and goes, will not last;
waking up from stupor, we smile.
Approaching life’s end we recount
how narrow desires did defile
but now on Pegasus we mount,
waking up from stupor, we smile.
We are not who we think we are,
for vibrancy is our soul’s style
and seeing we’ve drifted afar,
waking up from stupor, we smile.
Dwelling in staid silence tranquil,
free from subterfuge and from guile,
when with God we unify will,
waking up from stupor, we smile.

Good New Day Beloved Arise
You are love in His heart in His eyes;
Open up your eyes
And see the wonders of Our Father God;
Arise
And witness your blessings from within;
It's not about your feeling
If you're saddened this moment this new day;
Arise
And inhale His Breath of Life;
Blessed Beloved Open thy spiritual physical heart
Eyes and realize;
That you have been new birth in new growth,
In Him you've been revived;
He's granted you this new day to be alive;
On this side;
That was freely given for you this day arise;
You are thankful you are blessed you are assured
Arise
In the dawning of the new day praise;
Our Father in His ultimate portrayal
Dear One Arise and be glad in peace in joy;
Happiness in Him in Him
Arise
Beloved Daughter of the Highest RISE

Arise and Shine, the glory's here,
Walk in it, shed off all your fears,
Rejoice in your garden, bloom and grow,
Tender your garden, let your light glow.
Watch for glory events, feel the vibe,
Display the glory realm, come alive,
It's in your DNA, calling your name,
The Blood in your bloodline, now aflame.
Every place you step, beauty unfolds,
The glory in you, forever holds,
The glory in your voice, heard far and near,
Glory has the final say, let it appear.
In your life and family, let it reign,
The rising glory, wash away the pain,
Rejoice with all you have, no need to stress,
Maintain the glory, feel forever blessed.
Your bloodline meant to carry, greatness untold,
Walk in that unlimited glory, let it unfold.

Arise and shine, my dearest one
Let worries fade and darkness shun
The world outside awaits your light
So take a breath, and face the fight
Rise up tall, and stand up strong
Your voice will carry, with love and song
With each step forward, your path will clear
And blessings await, both far and near
The sun may rise or set each day
But your spirit remains, a constant ray
Your light will guide, and help us see
The beauty in all, and what could be
So go forth, with heart ablaze
And let your light shine, in all your ways
For in this world, we need your love
And by your grace, we will rise above.
