If love etched on
gemmed, rose, alabaster
it will be full of
sonorous blissfulness
, like a dreamlike lily.
LAKE
I want to rent a house on a lake
I want it to be quiet, a simple house,
But
I want it to have a dock and maybe a
Rowboat or canoe. Either is OK.
I don’t want there to be any motors,
Or a busy lake
I want to be able to jump into the lake
And swim under the water and look up
and see the light coming through the water
I want to see a spider walk on the
Surface of the water.
Just because they can
Oh, there will be a little fish darting.
And I want to
Just swim around where it’s a little murky,
And I’ll see just a flash of their lives.
At night I can go out in the boat
And listen to the Silence.
Maybe some bats fly by
Hopefully, it will be cloudless
And the sky will be full of stars
That is my wish
Don't stop walking because the path is hard.
Rely on your faith; it will take you far.
Take the high road and don't look back.
Keep pushing to the degree where achievement is at.
Don't settle for anything less than what you deserve.
Keep striving forward; shake the mind of the world.
Remember, life will be full of shade coming from jealous people.
Continue planting your feet against all the deceit.
Nothing will stop your chapter from closing too soon.
Your book is just being written and will be on display in every room.
I know, I did not
That the future is certain
Know if I would be there
I know, I did not
That the sun shall rise
Know if it would shine on me
I know I did not
That the world is full of smiles and tears
Know which mine would be full of
I know I did not
That there is paradise and hell
Know where am headed towards
Holly beak bird had a soprano voice that carried sixty miles
She had a beak that seemed to be full of laughing smiles
Party givers paid her big bucks to come by and sing
Many households reaped the benefit of her ting-a-lings
A moment of silence, a moment with stillness that diffuses within you, a quietness to rest and pause between your breath, You. Are. That. Of. A. Tree. Blowing. Free. You. Flow. With. Calmness. And. Grace. You are that of a rock that was once thrown into a lake and once the water stops to shake all is still and paused. No thoughts cloud your mind you are present with fluorescent colors that stream down a dream, a dream where I imagine I will be full of Colors. And. Love. Waiting. For. Me.
1 Corinthians 13 hints
Our understanding shall be full
But is it all at once
Or like a heavenly school
What happens when we get to heaven
Will we automatically know
The answers to the mysteries
From our time on earth below
Or will we inquire of the saints
Throughout eternity
And learn more, straight from our Lord
Going for our heavenly PhD
Never let a good day go astray
by brooding over a bad yesterday.
Relax, go with the flow
and learn to just let it go.
What others think of you is none of your business,
though it helps you understand the value of forgiveness.
Don't worry about those who are quick to condemn.
The best thing to do is to simply ignore them.
We can never predict misfortune
or the adversity that life can bring.
So, it's best to have patience. Give it time,
because time heals almost everything.
Be sure to pay attention,
be vigilant and aware
that those who are unhappy
are those who want to compare.
Don't be easily lured
into feelings of dismay.
The only person you should try to outdo
is the person you were yesterday.
It's okay to have doubt
and not have things figured out.
Relax, stay calm, take care,
and know that, in time, you'll get there.
Yes, life can be full of slings and arrows
and overall "crappiness".
Just remember it's on you:
only you are in charge of your happiness.
Life is short. We're only here for awhile.
Enjoy it while you have it, and don't forget to smile!
Best blessing of God is longevity
But life must be full of good activities
It's desirable to stay healthy, strong
Otherwise it's useless to live long.
Choose your path of life doing righteous
Necessarily not to be religious.
Keep yourself physically fit and fine.
It's mandatory for life if to shine.
Try to lift up your next generation.
Not to be self - centred, worth to mention.
If blessed by long life, make it perfect :
Great contribution, future may expect.
I have left a piece of myself
in everything I have loved,
and here I stand before myself,
with nothing left inside me.
My heart aches to be full again but how can
I be full again without being a fool again?
I am too understanding now to be
fooled again to be full with emotions again.

birds singing through their feathers
her heart in her skin's footsteps
will not remember where it once remembered
a shadow left lying to her breast
under trees she hopes to melt
though still on ground their stinging pelt
birds singing through their feathers
will not remember where it once remembered
like shadows, tongue's to be full u n c e a s i n g hunger
there is no way to this darkness
The three-quarter angled moon -
like a monstrous, baleful, cataracted eye -
blindly searched the dark beneath
where death was heard in a cut off cry -
nothing else but a rustle in the undergrowth;
a struggle to breathe between two jaws.
Something kicked twice and then was still;
an unseen end in teeth and claws.
I froze to hear both a victory and tragedy;
for something was fed and something died;
and somewhere the babes in a den would be full;
and somewhere the babes in a nest be denied.
The moon will not always look down at creation
cursed to this time of predator and prey.
The lion and lamb will lie down together
because even death will die one day.
The Singer and the Trumpeter
At times the sound of silence brings a calm to the storm. It may even be different to where both sides are moving towards a goal. In essence, they are both becoming stronger. They think of the future and have a concern in their hearts. It is possible that they have tried to be strong alone, well, it is a mask to become stronger for the future. They see each person in silence but they barely speak. They contemplate one thought and then another. Anger and sadness they feel, but they are happy later. A strong heart is what they both have. Once the time is near the Divine will make the plan now. Especially, when they are in a dream of conversation and analysis with the divine. They see the massive banquet hall in front of them. A friend is behind each one of them praying for them to join. Eventually, they will see this banquet hall together but together. The Gold and Platinum Glasses shall be full of Rosato. The voice of the singer is heard as the trumpet sounds. A union perfected by the Divine. Sadness of the past is only a document of the tears and pain. It does not alter their true feelings and emotions. Remember the Red String and the Divine.

books press their spines tight
against the empty school's windowpane,
tilting towards the window’s light~
one torn page whispers,
We'll be full with voices soon.
Reaching out for the stars,
hoping to catch a wish.
My mind is somewhere on Mars,
My thoughts just wont quit.
But I don't want it to be quiet.
I want it to be full of life.
I don't want it to be demanding,
I don't care if I'm wrong or right.
I want to daydream all day.
I want to sit and play,
with the spirits that haunt my domain.
I know I sound insane,
But I like it here.
In the dark, hiding my heart.
Focusing on the people I hold dear.
So just leave me chained,
don't try to rescue me.
Somethings wrong with my brain,
And I don't want you to be,
disappointed in me.
That I can't break free.
