Best Only Just Poems
In the realm of Fairyland, winged fairies
Flutter celebrating under August
Young moon, in depths of temperate forest
Shadowed shade. Their song of merry carries
Throughout and upward to cloudless heaven.
Nymphs watch over vast possession, buries
Beneath fancy small floral buds, berries,
Forest grace which they hold the lease. Leaven
Of humor heated a caramel gold
Complexion, as delightful spirit form,
Seemed eternal. Night to era transform
Nature's oblique left untrimmed fold on fold
The things that seem twas only just a dream
Magical solemnities morning beam.

On swift wings, blessed by the light,
who pours out the melody,
scriptures come to life – in the song,
joyful noises, crafted by hope,
soothing away the dark, coloring the life
in gentle truth, praises poured out,
all through the music, songs drifting,
on the edge of a heart – rhythmic, beyond the winds,
who remember only the showers,
the storm who haunts with its whisper,
blessings gesture to the souls who recall…
on swift wings, they soar, gliding through the skies,
at peace with the graceful sun, at peace…
they seem to sing, ‘just see what God has done’,
“J U S T S E E… what God has done…
And, He has only just begun! He has only just begun!!!!
He Has only Just Begun
He has only just begun creating new days
whether inside hours
or by the river that flows from the throne of the Lamb.
He has only just started planning for fresh sunsets
in loving hues never witnessed
on Heavenly streets or asphalt highways.
He has only just started rolling out plans
for forests and fields
savoring teas brewed from leaves with healing for the nations.
He has only just designed new mansions
by still waters
in hearts that live beyond marauding midnights.
He has only just begun to give birth
from the eternal womb
for such a time as this.
He has only just begun a new work
in you and me
that the carpenter completes and finishes.
We've Only Just Begun
We anticipate the promises of which they speak. We embrace the kiss of luck they taught us to seek.
No doubt, sometimes we'll cry; but we'll look to the sky and start to fly.
So many challenges are so high above our heads; but we'll focus well and experience things we never read.
Our fares are paid and we're unafraid, because we've only just begun. We are sometimes unrehearsed, but always feel the oneness of our unity.
We are not rushed, and feel no compelling brevity. We long for the evenings that refresh and make us smile;
even though we know we can only rest for a little while. We know that there are so many places for us to go;
but there's plenty of room for us to grow. And before long, our lives will start to glow.

Song, "We've Only Just Begun". by the Carpenters
”He is THE Creator, because “Through him all things were made;
without him nothing was made that has been made”
John 1:3, Bible
God never stops creating beauty for us
I can see and feel it each day
it is in those bird songs flowing sweetly
within each flower blooming brightly
in the sky, the clouds, wind, rain and snow
a babies cry at birth . . .
in that last gasp of breath at death
that sigh that takes that soul home
it is that hand that comforted me in grief
that hand that holds mine when I am scared
in the ever changing landscapes
the streams, rivers, lakes, oceans and seas
I feel his power most after a flood or fire
when the forest rises from ashes to beautiful
and when a person can rise from a pit of despair
take his hand offered and rise up strong
yes, God is always creating . . .
I'VE ONLY JUST BEGUN
Oh my
too shy
Have Only Just Begun
I’ve sailed the Atlantic Ocean,
Swam the seven seas.
Lived out in the wilderness,
Made a home from the trees.
I’ve climbed Mt. Everest,
Skied down the other side.
Raced in the Indianapolis,
Just for the enjoyment of the ride.
I’ve hit a homer in Mile High Stadium,
Pitched a no hitter against the Yanks.
Hunted for bear in the cannons,
Rode a dog sled on the banks.
Seems I’ve done it all,
From California clear to Maine.
But something brings me back,
To the place where I came.
My adventurous life I’ll leave behind,
Settle down and raise a son.
But my dreams for this child,
Have only just begun
double tetractys
We've Only Just Begun, wedding staple,
like brides and grooms
musicians,
poets
bond.
Add
brilliant
performers,
the Carpenters,
and a simple tune becomes a classic.

It started thousands of ages ago,
when He had only just begun.
His creativetly was beyond all thought,
it was just divine.
If one looks over the many years,
we can see His handy work around every corner.
Today, technology is like a run away train,
yet He Has Only Just Begun.
What will tomorrow bring,
one does not know.
We need to wait and see,
for we will see Him at the next turn.
Stoned out of concentration, my eyes stared deep into the padded grey church walls, ambient coloured lights flashed through the tinted windows dancing up the ceilings, and tunes of melodious worship shadowed past my ears.
I never wanted a cut on my body. "you have a cyst in both ovaries and it requires prompt surgery." The doctor's words eluded my thoughts, fleeting like flickering LEDs.
I wanted a miracle desperately. Shattered in tears, I spoke to God, asked him to heal me,
to give me a first-hand embrace of his mercy and I'll share mine too.
Faith is a mix of troubles and losses, dreams on hold, hurts and tears. But with it, God sends a blanket of stability. One month later, the test came back negative. I testified.
My life seems fine,
place a smile on my face,
But like a dying fire,
My heart drains leaving an empty space.
Numbness takes over me,
The need to feel dominates.
I watch all my love flee,
And all I have left is cruel fate.
"We've Only Just Begun",
A song that rewinds back,
to my childhood that I used
to listen to with mom and dad.
Sometimes on the radio
or the record player we had.
The melody would play and
I would smile real glad.
Working with people
To make a decent life,
Never acting defiant
Yet learning from my strife.
As the end draws near and all quiets down
The mood shifts to one of sombre tone
Those around wrapped in the art of conversation
Talking, listening to what the other has say
But the conversation dies down
We settle for the comfortable silence
That drifts in between like old friends
Resting, propped against a shoulder
The other with head laid on head
The silence that passes form one to the other
As both drift towards sleep says enough.
But maybe only just for one
Just cause,
Just because it only seems that way
Doesn’t make it so?
It only seems yet that way it seems;
That a firefly is not a fly-it’s a beetle;
As it seems similar looks
A prairie dog is not a dog, but a rodent;
It only just seems that way;
India ink is not from India;
It’s made in Egypt and China;
It only seems yet that way it seems;
Similar?
It only seems that way lead pencil doesn’t contain any lead;
You consumers were lead to believe this,
Pencil are made of wood and graphite;
Just cause,
Just because it only seems that way
Doesn’t make it so?
O’ and a peanut is not a nut, it’s a legume
Seems we been fooled all along;
And a Mexican jumping bean is not a bean, also-
It’s a seed with a Larva inside (just a worm hiding)
It only seems that way
Just cause,
Just because it only seems that way
Doesn’t make it so?
All above so familiar,
Similar?
It only seems that way

For Contest It Only Seems That Way

If you’re only a teen, you may carry the weight,
Of a past you abhor and a present you hate,
You may live in your room, like a temple of doom,
But the rest of your day is a book and a broom.
Oh, why am I here, oh why am I me,
Oh why am I here when I cram constantly,
I may seem like a fool, in a classroom at school,
To be something I’m not, when I’m not as a rule.
Oh, God, tell me why, is it wrong that I’m here,
If I’m not good for me, in a future unclear,
Who wants to grow old, if they never grew young,
Or never came over, game over, it’s done.
As I knelt down to pray, by the side of my bed,
I thought of the Lord, by the book I had read,
And I knew by the way that he counted His sheep,
That a lamb is the Lord by the company we keep.
Lord our God, shepherd us, in love and beauty wonder,
May thy glory here abide, and reach the soul asunder,
Christ the King is born to rule, in majesty and mountain,
Let us love our fellow man and drink the Living Fountain!
