Best Owhere Poems

My penchant for writing was showing
The comments I received were ‘glowing’
But at the end of the day
I get another N/A

Only on his veranda does he feel like the king of his castle
No better place to put up his feet and take stock
 
Much gratitude swells when he sits back with contentment
Years of dedication behind him, of planning and hard work
 
Voluptuous dreams both come...

L ight of evening arrives on its accord
O pening a mantle for spring’s preview…
V ast the earth toned in rose-white, and though
E ver cold, I roam the garden to admire

Out of  Your nostrils You blew
			the living breath that made me new
Right well my soul knows,
			marvellous Your work shows
Even deep down in the sea,
			Your right hand will hold me
Verily this knowledge is high,
			to know that You are always...

Craving to be back where I belong
Only place my heart breaks into song
Memories come flooding through my mind
Imitating days I left behind.
Nowhere in the world I'd rather be
Guess that's why you're always home to me.

Been to many places far and wide
And I've missed your presence...

L ong legged eager strides as I climb
I mpressive trails that are winding
N owhere to go but up and up
G ear in hand steady for the trek

E very step a meditation inspired

C-an you feel the fresh morn
A-fter the cold night chill? 
T-wenty-eighth dawn of the first month, 
H-appy birthday brings a thrill.

E-nded.

C-an you see the dewdrop
E-arly in the morning?...

E-ven the dusk is through.

E-arly dawn has broken, 
L-eaving the twilight behind;

V-ile weather has turned
I-nto a warm sunny day; 
L-ightness from the sky
M-akes the haze fade
A-way.

L-ord God never sleeps, 
Y-es, He watches from the skies; 
N-o one can ever hide from the Almighty's eyes. 

M-aker never sleeps, 
A-nytime, day or night; 
C-omforting the oppressed, 
A-ssuring their delight. 
T-he Father never sleeps, 
A-iming to punish the cruel people; 
N-owhere to run...

E-difies the flock of sheep;

I.solated guilt built out of tears.
S.adly aware of lifes mundane, but unable to comfort your own pain!
U.ncomfortable with your own frame of mind, and what people may find unexplainable and a little different.
N.owhere to run nowhere to hide. there's no one...
