Premium Member Absolution's Font: Mosque of Ibn Tulun, Cairo, Egypt

Await the zenith of the sun,
cross clay courtyard a beckoning
barefoot walked, heartstring undone,
Oh Lord, there’s love, no reckoning.

Soundless clarion of tears fall
toward absolution’s bright blessing,
within the domed sabil I call...
Oh Lord, there’s love, no reckoning.

The fountain's dry, but not my eyes
sounds of grace rebound, amazing,
Amazing Grace, sang such as I
Oh Lord, there’s love, no reckoning.

We are but one beneath the sun
for all our fears and wandering
all creation our companion...
Oh Lord, there’s love, no reckoning.

Let spirit rise on minaret
and phantom penitents come hieing
all is well, we are God’s get
Oh Lord, there’s love, no reckoning.



Peace is not a relationship of nations. It is a condition of mind brought about by a serenity of soul. Peace is not merely the absence of war. It is also a state of mind. Lasting peace can come only to peaceful people. 
Jawaharlal Nehru (1889 - 1964)

Storm and Rain

Sitting by my window,
Free from misery and pain;
Embraced by serenity's immortal rule,
At peace with the storm and rain

Nature's woven its dreary loom,
Cloudy skies are an angry gray;
Nestled in solitude's comfort,
Fear is my fallen prey

Sitting by my window,
Nature ceases to refrain;
The Lord is my guardian angel,
At peace with the storm and rain

The Road Ahead

The one thing in life that I did learn

is not to take the wrong turn

when you're in the wilderness it is easy to get lost

and your life it could cost

try to stick to the road straight ahead

and listen only to the words from God that is said

if you follow paths that others do

you'll end up feeling lost sad and blue

the road ahead is the only way to go

to find true happiness peace and joy that you never did know

stick to the road straight ahead with Jesus by your side and leave everything else behind

and his peace and love is what you will always find.


Joy

ONE CANNOT BUY JOY
JUST LIKE ONE CANNOT BUY LOVE
BECAUSE JOY, LOVE, AND PEACE 
ARE GIFTS FROM CHRIST ABOVE

MONEY DOES NOT BRING JOY
IN SOME CASES IT BRINGS DESPAIR
JOY CAN BE BROUGHT ON
BY LETTING OTHERS KNOW YOU CARE

JOY IS A FEELING THAT COMES AT MORNING’S LIGHT
WHEN THE SADNESS IS GONE AND WE HAVE WON ANOTHER FIGHT
WE FIGHT SATAN, DEMONS, THE EFFECTS OF PEOPLE’S WORDS AND DEEDS AND 
CIRCUMSTANCE
IF IT WAS NOT FOR THE JOY OF THE LORD
WE WOULD NOT STAND A CHANCE

HAPPINESS IS TEMPORARY 
BUT JOY GOES ON AND ON
JOY MAKES US WANT THE BEST IN LIFE
AND PUTS IN HEARTS PRAISE SONGS

JOY CAN RESCUE US IN TIMES OF GRIEF
WHEN A LOVED ONE LEAVES US
JOY AND PEACE CAN BRING RELIEF

JOY IS HAVING JESUS
POSSESS AND DWELL IN THE HEART AND SOUL
HAVING THIS JOY HELPS US MAKE THROUGH INFIRMITIES AND PAIN
AND GIVES THE STRENGTH TO HOLD ON WHILE GOD MAKES US WHOLE

Forgiven

I found Grace in the eyes of the Savior
My Life has been touched by a King!
Oh what Love could look beyond such a sinner?
But the love that eternity brings!


So I stand now in the shadows of Mercy
He's brought Peace beyond compare,
May 10,000 Angels sing all His praises!
For someday, I'll sing with them there.


Why He chose to reach down and touch me
It's a miracle no one could explain,
Oh the gratitude I hope now to show Him
Flows more than the drops of rain!

Come sing now everyone with me
For we serve the King of Kings!
Oh most merciful loving Savior
Let all who hear now sing!

Praise His name from the tallest mountain!
Let it show that we walk with Him!
Stand tall against all that is evil
Let Peace flow through our land again!


I'm forgiven and so unworthy
Forgiven and Loved by Him!
He looked down from Heaven and touched me!
Now my Life has been Born Again!

The Lion and the Lamb (Part 1)

Who I am is who I have to be
but how quickly can one be his/her I am
So I may take my place in destiny
to hold both the lion and the lamb

I struggle... as I try to take my place cause 
after all this 
I didn't know what strength was, but I didn't know 
what peace was either
So I took a place tripping lambs and getting laid out by lions
relying on intellect as a concept to be my Jesus...
Not learning that Peace is the endurance to withstand 
violence by subjugating the essence of stillness into your 
character where reaction lives...not learning that 
peace is the stronger force by not being moved 
as it stays in the stillness with the rush of ego weathering 
around, building and breaking.... peace is rock...
forever still...bracing movement to move...
Even weather works around the mountain...

...The strength of peace comes from the barrage 
of restless testimonies lived out in action...
what creates accidents of harm is malice, inciting
movement displayed as movement that moves more
to move more...I act like the weather but my destiny is to be
is to be the mountain and to hold both the lion and the lamb...

....the best way to get to know peace is to feel the stillness....
....empathize with it... its at the place where you find rest...
...think of it that is where we refuel our living tanks.... as still...
....it's so easy to be woken up... still we find our rest, don't we?


Freedoms Truth Is What's Inside

Deep in yourself where there's no darkness, you'll find nothing but holy lightness. 
Blinded by this light, all they see is night. Thinking there's no hope, giving up and come 
to cope. That's all they see, not knowing what it is to be truly free. Being free is to be 
free with your souls fight, it's fight to hold you tight. More you pull away, more the 
darkness stays at bay. Surrender yourself, and you will feel things you've never felt. 
Heaven is your souls fate, you will not fallow if all you have is hate. Must have love, to 
fallow your soul up above. Must stay together, to stay at peace forever. Don't get lost, it 
will have a cost. Learn your passion, so you can keep it from crashing. This life will end, 
so our souls life can begin. Energy we leave behind, affects everyone coming in this 
world blind. Take from this what you may, remember to find peace inside your energies 
ray. When looking at others don't look at what you see, but look at what they can be. 
When you come upon those who lost their way, hold on to them for they are the ones 
who needs the tools to be ok.

Waking Up To a Lesser You

I wake up everyday in anger
Watching the sun smile
Hearing the trees laugh 
The anxiety of morning traffic

Before breakfast is served
I scowl at the eggs
And scoff at the bacon
Even go as so far to critique the coffee bean

During noon I'm dissappointed
With the way the world keeps spinning
I find myself cursing at the gravity that pulls me down
And forsaking the reason why I can't fly

Here comes the moon
Ushered in slowly by the stars
Sweeping the atmosphere in sleep
Changing waking patterns nations over

But I am still so angry 
Of the things my vanity 
Allowed to be taken away 
By my selfishness

I wear a rosary roun' my kneck
Staring at Jesus
I might cry at my unambitionless motions
And sob at my stunted growth

How can I cry when I allow
The anger inside of me 
Control and divide my eternal peace
Wiped my tears to have a long talk with Jesus

Two hours of the night has passed
I pray and plead for some peace or some piece
Of myself or the pieces I forgot to put together
From a unfinished puzzle I created

Now I realize just like the rosary roun' my kneck
Which keeps Jesus there at all times
So is the peace and piece I've looked for
Forever round' my kneck danglin' to my heart

Rebuking anger from the morning
Keeping joy at night
I will let life move me
But will not let it stray me

Noe's the Dove At the Door

Out the window sent forth the raven circling as if no haven                                              
Watching skies for hope out the window the proverbial dove                                               
As peace returns no shores as searching raven shows no more                                      
Faithfully returning like a dove surpasses wisdom’s call for more                            
Knowledge puffs up as craftiness vanishes a peace offering the dove                                    
Olive tree’s oil and light righteous branch offering peace the Love the Love
