Feeble, a word not often used
in this hi-def, mega bite world,
where almost anything can be done
with the tap of a fingertip,
the aged still feel feeble.
This crackled feeling runs along the rims
of brittle nails
and gray-white strands of hair.
The once svelte figures of maid or man,
now chose more often to crunch and snap,
as ligaments roll unpleasantly over joint heads.
The witty repartee of youth is replaced by a dazed look.
Yes, at this moment,
après gym and post nap
and pre chair massage a wobbling frailness
surrounds me in a weak chicken broth
of feebleness.
fingerless mits
cover bloodless palms –
weak spring sun

Verse
The first of nine children
He was a head above the rest.
Rugged and strong, he was true to his own.
While the eight went to school,
He had to stay.
Dawn till dusk,
His endless work remained.
At sunup, he had to open shop.
He worked with dirty hands
Stirring paints, thinners, and cement.
The smell of chemicals and rust
Filled that dusty old hardware stop.
Despite his sacrifice, his parents went
To pay tribute to siblings they favored best.
Cradling betrayal’s knife in his chest,
He never spoke to them again.
Then one day, they came
Old and sadly forsaken.
He cradled them in their feebleness
And smoothed the ravages of their sickness.
Till finally they breathed their last,
He drank the bitterness from life’s broken glass

Who are and who is my friends or acquaintances, confusing everyday
but today I have found my self to walk a path that is not so rough
I became so blinded to have friends that it pains me anyway
They take a simple kindness and think that I am not tough
so by deliberately challenging me to act like nothing happens I grow bold
Wake up you! and all the rest, I have something to say
I don't like this feeling of regret or sorrow so please do not take me cold
as a friend you should know to not take advantage of my kindness in away
A storm is blowing inside my soul burning a hole in it so
lightning is striking in methods unknown for in the distance thunder you hear
Some of the greatest warriors fall with great weapons of bow
antics that slaughters such feebleness as cowardices use an unseen spear
To let one know that your feelings are clear do not hesitate
to do so shows fear and that is one thing that can determine your choice
With kindness in your corner you should easily win and that will be great!
In the end you can hold up a drink with friends and smile and rejoice

Light Verse
Twilight falls
Twilight falls and night waits while you say your goodbyes,
Possessions in workshop and shed, “stored” whilst you move;
But really gifts to family and never to be seen again,
An artifice to soften the understood message.
Your wife lets go of her past more simply, knowingly -
“I shall not do that again”; looking forward to a
Closing chapter of life in another home, yet anxiously
Aware of night growing impatient at your back.
With sharp wit and the insight that comes from
Watching the shadows lengthen, time accelerating,
Physical decay no longer to be ignored, you confide;
“I have months, I won’t see another year”.
Quick humour hides the effort of will that keeps you
Active, pausing only to gather strength to be involved;
Eyes dimmed, gait slowed, even beyond festination, to
An unsteady shuffle. I admire your courage.
The conversation turns, as the moment dictates, to happy
Memories of the past, and your grin lights up your face;
We rehearse the performance of Friday evenings, sharing
Aero with the dog, oblivious to any potential harm,
Confident “it’s more air than chocolate”. And I notice
Your age: where, before, you had the air of agelessness,
Now, “mature” has given way to “old”, and for the first time
I think of the feebleness of old age.
I look in my diary for another visit, soon,
And my thoughts dwell on my own mortality.

Verse
Beautiful memories will always remain florid every night and morn,
Like a cooling shower that caress the wall of fruitful emotion,
Whose drop is an antidote and a vane of stupefaction
That warms the pad of feelings to a greater intensity
Their love stand upon the mount Zion under the shade of Almighty,
Impelling the flannel of vigor like a prominent flag in the air
Assemblage of stars, honoring the blossom couples at a glance
As a sign of deference across the cardinals of humanity,
And the Colly-bird whose eyes gyrate over their dramatic sphere,
And whose beak is a brilliant seat of soothing fun-fair,
Will never resist to trap them a rapturous wave of jazz;
A kiss from the valley of kisses showed them the power in closeness
A hug from the pit of heart brought them the scene of love
Fervid communication bridged the lacuna in their feebleness
Flame of trust burning in their hearts liquidated the puff of leeriness
The jazz of unity being rendered by the bird of unique qualities,
Was lighted up by the cherubic squirrel getting a load of their scene,
A dance was staged, accompanied with the claps of glory,
While loosing its syrupy palm kernel being masticated by its jaw
The squirrel said, when the golden breeze of imagination blew,
Across the holistic lambent garden of grandeur,
Near the plethora stones of beauty dazzling on the floor of their merriment;
Hold yourself tight,
Call yourself one,
And switch on the light of laughter

THE LAST NEGOTIATIONS
The child that I was – Never believed in death-
Loving life so much that I cud not conceive of it.
Time – states of minds- growth-maturation
New realizations, that interfered with my own
Understanding of, life death and purpose.
Collecting bits of earth- I loved her
Wanted to hold on to whatever came from her.
Butterflies, fire flies-lady bugs and praying mantis.
Geology was my solace.
The sun kept my “pet rocks”
Warm for me –
Unlike the trees, Moon, and Stars,
I could hold on to them.
Rocks, stones, and driftwood and the like- All
Had the formation and the beauty
That drew me in as if it had a personality.
I loved them, and knew they each had a story-
Unlike living pets, I also knew my rocks would never die.
I had grown up to find that the deal I made with God.
{To never let me die}, was neither, doable, nor had the Bargain
Been sealed on the other end.
I have seen people suffer and grow old.
Therefore, I have made a new deal, asking God.
” Please do not let me grow old”
with incontinence and feebleness;
Afraid while moving towards my
impermanence my mind may tell me to;
Seasoning my food with cleansing powered instead of salt.
Once I never wanted to grow old-
Once, I longed to stay upon on the earth forever:
With the promise of the unknown heaven as a reward,
I still opted to stay.
Today I have Different eyes, think different ways.
I have made a new deal with my creator,
Which is: “Now I lay me down to sleep.
I pray the Lord my breath to take. I pray
my kept soul be set free,
and my loved ones to keep,
Come gently and swiftly
I speak the uttered lines.
To fit my worth- Not so eager to
remain on earth anymore.
No longer is the earth my turf.
Not the version prayed for as a child.
Let me Die peacefully in my sleep.
Bury my Ashes in the Black sand,
Cover me with beautiful Stones.
Until I take root and grow something
healing from my rich soot.
Greater now is my faithfulness.
For I no longer fear death.,
But fear what has become of this earth.
I want no turmoil to spoil my peaceful transition.

Verse
Parents
How my mother raised me, in pain and pleasure
How my father bring forth my wishes thereof
How many nights they spend sleepless
How many nights they endure in prayers
Long live my child, in safety and health
How I grow in their lap, and in their arms
Its not humble, it was feebleness in me
That their worries tuned into my strength
Its not food, vitamin or calcium, but
Their courage and prayers that fed me
Little of my illness, brought in tears of worry
Little of my cries, brought world at stand still
Little of my tantrums, world was purchased
How can I pay back, with what can I pay them
Not in Gold, not it diamonds, not in heaven or earth
For everything has a price, parents are priceless

finite minds cannot fathom
flows through faith
fearlessly, yet jubilantly following
footsteps of the Lord, omnipotent truth-Fortress
Foundation anchoring liberty-frame
fostering compassionate living against falsehood’s flattery…
Fruitful in fidelity’s furtherance
flawless freedom’s fullness
fixed and offered by heavenly Father
fuels forgiveness
facilitates reconciliation with foes
fastens families and friends
forbearing one another in fellowship feasting…
Flourishing in God’s favour
faultless freedom
forsakes feigning foolishness
framed upon feebleness
forgets frustration-falls
forbids anxious fretting
fenced inside love’s fulfillment…
Fervently facing fleshly filthiness by divine force
freed soul from hell’s fury flames
fixes flight with spiritual fortitude
fighting failures as triumphant servant-finisher~~~
first thanking Christ’s sacrifice, excellently foremost
furnishing assured eternal freedom*
finally to reign midst peace, joy, charity… forever.
*John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

Alliteration
I have once been consumed by beauty
And the ground beneath me felt drifty
Throwing my mind off track
That I was in no state to love back
I have twice reflected on the lesson of the time
And my feebleness was brought to prime
Can I really handle the lovely and shapely
With composure and sanity
I have thrice sworn and recited
To never again get too excited
That I may be able to reciprocate justly
With commitment and bravery
I have repeatedly repeated this cycle
Now I'm in need of a breaking miracle
Where if beauty and love be one theme
I will write gloriously enough to equate a hymn

April 19 Relationship to God Bible Meditations Based on 2Chronicles 1-4
Key Verse –2Chronicles 1:1 And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and the LORD his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.
LORD GOD, YOU ARE MY STRENGTH MAGNIFIER
Lord God, You are my strength Magnifier midst my obvious weakness
Thank You for governing over feebleness
Along my doubting mind of unbelief’s destructiveness
For me to be prepared to pitch in Your holiness.
Lord God, You are my strength Magnifier midst my lack of knowledge
Thank You for guiding my stubborn heart toward Your divine privilege
Along my unyielding stubbornness of miserable price I acknowledge
For me to be fetched out from carnality’s mileage.
Lord God, You are my strength Magnifier midst my waning determination
Thank You for grabbing my burdened devotion
Along my wavering dedication due to dissatisfaction
For me to be built up by Your compassion’s fortification.
Lord God, You are my strength Magnifier midst my limited understanding
Thank You for guarding my searching mind from deceitful pretending
Along my shaky decision-making needing sturdy standing
For me to be set upon Your truth, wisely commanding.
Lord God, You are my strength Magnifier midst my shallow commitment
Thank You for gearing my little faith toward service-empowerment
Along my complaining attitude to learn genuine contentment
For me to be reared well by Your stewardship’s enablement.
Lord God, You are my strength Magnifier midst my towering pride
Thank You for grafting my heightening arrogance in every stride
Along my hindering selfishness I try to hide
For me to be cleansed, and in Your sanctification, abide.
Lord God, You are my strength Magnifier midst my unrighteous habit
Thank You for granting my confessed sins Your pardon, gracious in every bit
Along my admitted guilt, freeing me from disturbance-pit
For me to be perfected by Your transformation of Scriptures’ writ.

what is happiness?
is it killing ?
is it raping?
is it mocking?
is it bulling?
is it cheating?
is it pollution?
is it treading?
is it threatening?
is it non-cooperation?
is it disrespect?
is it feebleness?
if at all it be these
i am a happy to be unhappy.

Free verse
Life of a child who is afraid
Way of life for one to obey
Never wanting to know a thing
That is that is pain that sets in
Knowing that bad is happening
Just letting it be should never be
Tired about everything and everyone
Lack of socialism under my wings
Sad but true words won't do
My weakness through and through
So my story goes on a while
Person to person it doesn't relay
One to understand is lacking verse
Sickness strikes through the heart
A levy of oath that has not begun
Promises to learn become lies
Emotional gain is gone
Paralyze with not understanding
Becomes a little more grief
Young to not know but know
That growth of mind is slow
Each moment learned is a gift
Not rushing it is all that will
Notice that time gone by
Question all that needs answer
Sorry it becomes torture
Strength of mind all decay
Helplessness to not care
Teacher don't know illness
No one cares about nonsense
An ineffectiveness that slow
A debility of insecure self
That is young feebleness

Dear
Writer, poet, solitary thinker, dreamer
Sister, friend, devoted christian and survivor
Lover of anything old, my kitties, day breaks and home
Who feels faith, hope, happiness and sadness
Who fears the future, the present, being unworthy of Heaven, feebleness
Who would like to see the end of suffering, war, poverty and hate
Resident of this realm, Earth
Heart
