Best Abiding Poems

When wands of beauty spell the core of heart
a rapture gasped and pounded into me
my vision I long to capture in art
with hands of poetry dipped into glee. 

When music flows through the chambers of mind
no sounds heard but steps of the soul in trance

Grace and mercy
I shall ever implore
as my soul
yields to boundless passions
crosses lines
and in dire straits
found lost.
The Hand of God
I shall ever beseech
to touch my heart
turn hate into compassion
envy into contentment
vanish vanity into modesty  
and to raise me up
as I fall.
The blessings of His Holiness
I...

Abiding in God’s faithfulness*, I live for Him
Blessed to do His perfect will along His righteousness
Called to conform toward Christ-likeness…
Driven toward His triumph!

Ever-upheld by God’s faithfulness, I’m thankful
Freed from grip of vanities’ worthlessness
Graciously geared-up to worship Him sincerely…
Hoisted for faith-ascent!

Inspired with God’s faithfulness, I continue...

I believe in Heaven, and I believe dogs, as well as humans, go there. I had my own dog 
once upon a time, a Miniature Eskimo named Ollyver. Each night I’d find him waiting on the 
other side of the door to jump up into...

Abiding faith in the Lord
Blessed joy to me restored
Christ's love is beyond our grasp
Dwelling free from sin's death clasp
Everlasting life is found
Fullness of joy, peace abound
Giving thanks for all blessings
Hope of heaven, heart now sings
Immortal, I'm now God's child
Justified and reconciled
King of Kings is my...

Give to me, your deep abiding love
Love in every color
Boundless
The reds of fiery passion
                The whites of innocence
The pinks of affection

I don’t know what I know
I fly like an eagle – just go with the flow!
I don’t know what I know
I don’t know what you’re thinking about 
But I can tell you’re puzzled in your own mind
Maybe I can find x2 
Peace in mind 
For...

My granny said to me, "It's not good to talk about the past"
You must always live in the present for only it will last"
Apparently I was lost not knowing what she meant 
But as years passed her words seemed heaven sent   
I then...

my grandkids’ laughter,

kindnesses bestowed on me,

and my dog’s sweet eyes. . . 

fine strands in tapestries of

my abiding memory

Oasis while in exile.
Matrimonial love suite.
Ephemoral until eternity....

Falling; without such realization or consent 
Smitten; enamored of an idea of Love 
Sans control and choice, I serenely relent;
To this momentum of a powering Truelove 

In a mind fulled with madness edging to surge 
I did surrender my broken soul and heart to you...

Warm hearts abiding...
Nurtured in spite of pain
Safe, secure, intact!...

l.  it was seven octobers of knowing you
through refrains of musk earth and rosette skies ,
we lay with hands outstretched 
under a family of flowering trees
riddled with moonlit pearls
feasting on legs entwined, laughing at shared tears.

we were everywhere,
between the falling of leaves and rising...

All the sorrow and pain
Breaking hearts, falling rain
Inspiring feelings so dismal
Dark doubts that are abysmal
It is almost like a sensation
Nothing alive in creation
Grieves like this degradation
