Best Fullness Poems
Look around trying to find God
where is He of eternity be found?
there go back 2000 years ago
in Galilee there He was around
That one Jesus Christ the son of God
walked on earth for all to see
this was God incarnate truly evident
God’s character displayed this was He
The fullness of the divine Godhead
was found in God’s begotten son
here was the one prophets had told
was to come as messiah now is done
Man is now truly without excuse
God’s revelation is now complete
Christ fulfilled God’s salvation plan
dealing with our sin Christ did defeat
(‘In Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.’ Colossians ch. 2 v. 9)

Immediate and intimate
Caress divine at heaven’s gate
Erases each and every sin
Embraced in staid stillness sedate
Simple is the way to begin
First things first, just rest thought flow din
Our childlike trust invokes God’s grace
We feel then bliss beats rise within
Of wayward ego, leave no trace
And have no earthy goals to chase
Wisdom of sages is then ours
We become the vastness of space

I drained life of its fullness...
not pricing its worthiness,
leaving nicks in the prime of youth:
deceitful tricks to ignore every truth.
I imitated parody to conceal identity,
thus making it forgery my priority;
and the masked nobleman acted out his
infamous burlesque play, ridiculing Fay...
knowing that her unrhymed lines
were intently borrowed from clowns,
not from gifted writers with clever minds;
did they bray when they were blamed for the delay?
My intent was not a merited Godsent or lofty thought
perceived by a gladiator who held the wilt
of his sword proportioned to his solid built,
but rather ridden by a guilt which had a powerful force to jilt
me when I was reduced to tears by my peers for my peculiar tilt.

sweet decadent belly
how ever will you forgive me
i didn’t know
couldn’t know
how to love you
i didn’t see that you were more than a belly
you were an entire person
an easy breezy lover girl committed to the pursuit of all things joyful
i used to joke that you were bottomless
an “animal” of your own
what a gift that was
you let me live in faraway lands
and graciously indulge in local delicacies
what an honor it was to be held tall by you
to bask in your beauty
you captured hearts of all kinds
everyone wanted part of the whole hearted embrace of life you offered
even if just for one night
i must now admit
with a heavy heart
it took sharp hip bones jutting out to lengths they never should be seen
for me to set the record straight
i needed seasons of too much nausea to stand
let alone eat
for me to learn to beg for your forgiveness
my stomach now boasts the flatness I’d always been urged to dream of
and I spend my days split between my bed and survival
friends exclaim
“wow you look so skinny!”
men praise the unnatural concaveness of you
saying things like
“maybe you weren’t played such a bad hand after all”
as if whether my body has value should be up for debate
like a certain quantity of fat cells reflects a quality of life
and I can’t blame them for not seeing
because neither did I
they don’t see the poison we’ve been spoon-fed
to categorize a healthy body as
“too much”
and a starving one as the ultimate prize
they do not see that this body takes dozens of pills a day to sit upright
in it live tsunamis of fear, pain, isolation
while my old self was free
and buoyant
while I cant change the view from where they stand
(and I stood)
i can remember your brilliance
and vow
if we're ever lucky enough to be reunited
i will honor you for what you truly are:
a home

Was fullness thereof
That is in Jesus's love
Sent from up above.
Wanted from the start
Now I have God in my heart
We will never part.
Thankful yes am I
That for me Jesus did die
See Him by and by
Back from cruise to Southern Caribbean
on Holland American Oosterdam.

A poem is a little girl
Helping Mommy with the dishes
Or teaching her how to use
A computer app
A little boy at play
In his sandbox
Or the games apps on his i-pad
A poem is
Mommy kissing Dad
It’s the sun rising in the morning
A harvest moon at night
A poem is twinkling stars
Over motor cars
On bustling highways
It’s city lights and
Airplanes and satellites at night
Aurora Borealis unexpected
A poem is rhyme without reason
And deer out of season
It’s puppy dogs at play
And swans in flight
It’s all of the good things in life
And some of the bad
For a little boy it’s the moments
Shared with Dad
A poem is a vast unending river
Roaming quietly through the day
And growing quiet in the dusk
As it gently threads its present
To the past and a poem is
You in the fullness of life

My Love, my Fullness now, is unrestrained!
My Joyful Heart now heats the very air!
I gaze upon your Image, and the pulse
Of Life increases, banishing despair!
I never thought that woodenness had entered,
Could not believe my heart was full of dust,
My breast and brain on lonely pleasures centered,
Could breathe out only cold, dry motes, and must.*
But when the moment lapsed, your sweet eyes twinkled,
And I could see Sun in your very smile…
When I, with Sun-flakes, glistening, was sprinkled,
I knew no possibility of guile
And all the world departed into silence,
And ceased, were sin, iniquity and violence.
*’mustiness or mold’

Sonnet
Without you, my life's blood would freeze—
If I could not feel the plant of your blossoming seed.
I know that time has voided the way
For you and me, to separate—
Your budding in my heart says elsewise.
We seem to be more near by that rose white.
You long ago placed that seed, within me—
Now it grows back to you, in my need.
I watch with starving eyes the beauty of it in you—
Thank God for letting me love you.
If you do clip this bloom, return—
Know it will pine for you every season's turn.

A Life of Great Fullness
Although His life was self-denying
Shadowed with pain and care
Christ’s Spirit was never crushed
By the load He did bear
His heart was a wellspring
Of peace, joy and gladness
He wants the same for you
A Life of Great Fullness.
He never said that there
Would never be some pain
For if there’s only sunshine
We’d never have the rain
Both are blessings
And extremely essential
For the preservation of life
Is their potential
He was a man of sorrows
But of great joy as well
He had a time of fasting
A time of parables to tell
He performed many miracles
That brought Him great pleasure
To set the captives free
Still is for Him a treasure
So if your load is heavy
And your Spirit seems crushed
Reach out, help others
Your own burdens will be hushed.

the girl woke up,
a question of self
positively answered,
and stretched in her new skin

A touch of love,
a drop of mercy,
a breath of life,
a measure of hope,
Whipped together in grace.
Unsearchable riches of Christ,
manifold wisdom of God,
confidence by faith,
strengthened with might,
bound together in His eternal purpose.
O the fulness...
Tis' a recipe man can't fathom!

Fullness…
The end of one journey
The beginning of the next.
The fullness has been replete
With the things that we have carried with us.
Parcels of joy and laughter, tears and sorrow,
Brilliant moonshine, scudding storm clouds, rainbows, soft snow falling.
They have brightened our way
They have lighted our way,
As we touched the lives of others
And as they in turn touched ours.
And now as the eye of God
Descends toward the horizon,
We carry those parcels of fullness within our souls
And inhale the shades and colors of
L’heure bleu-the lavender, orchid, mauve and mulberry tones.
The soul sated with the fullness of our lives and dreams.
