The Keeper of the Circle
I do not rule with iron hand, but with the rhythm of sacred sand— each grain a word, each line a sign, where order breathes and hearts align. Before the lesson dares to start, I plant the law with quiet art: Not carved in stone, but shaped in grace— a whispered guide, a steady place. I walk not tall with voice raised high, but...

Premium Member Discerning the Times: A Sign of the Times
Jesus said, “You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the times.” (Matthew 16:3) There are passages in scripture that roar louder with each passing era, and Romans 1:28 is one such thunderclap.

Whoever Is Alert
Whoever is alert Seeks to some point assert. Your thoughts need not round cruise Or a search start for clues... He's a security, Safety—Priority, For prized alacrity, Help to authority, Eyes on obscurity; Life has no parity: Whoever is alert Can fat danger avert, Swoop on a crazed pervert, To The Right him revert; Prowlers picking their names, Crooks beating in their games On even days gone grey, Lens swinging either way... Though...

Most of the girls (Anna, Sophy, Sunny, Bili, Leong and Lisa) are in the kitchen eating breakfast. “Where’s Anais?” Sunny asks, spooning some eggs onto her plate and taking 4 strips of bacon. “She’s out by the pool, feeling sorry for herself.” Leong whispers, distractedly, reading the “Fruity Pebbles” box and poking the multicolored flakes with...

Premium Member Aspirations and Actions
When we're young Full of aspirations Full of time Full of ability But actions delayed Like most of the politicians When we're old Too little aspirations Too little actions Because too little time Too little ability Like the common people But aspirations and actions Are parts of a bond Or a pair of lovers That can't be separated As politicians and people Are closely related and dependant Politicians...

Premium Member Protesting Authority
Protesting Authority Miracle Man Thoughts 5-8-2022 Oft times we protest making the evening news, and it isn’t always from our differing in views. Rather than bend to authority & take a back seat, we’ll make signs and line both sides of a street. Following others advice blindly we simply won’t, and it isn’t always about what we believe, or don’t. But all about the...
