Gathered with sister, my mother and kleenex,
Oblivious to our red noses, facial poses and tears,
Nudging each other with movie memory reflex -
Each of us embrace characters long held as dear.
We submit joyously to this continuous, intense escape
Inside the lives of scandalous Scarlett and romantic Rhett.
Trials and tribulations of civil war, deceit and love shape
Heaven and hell into a dramatic, unforgettable duet.
Torn, we watch as hunger, fear and surrounding violent war,
Harms character’s hearts and more discouragements pour.
Enemy destruction devastates Southern life and lore.
While wishing true love’s fulfillment for Rhett’s desirous heart,
Inevitably his sexy charm will wham our hearts like a wild lamb.
No one should dare interrupt our favorite, dramatic film art, or
Disturb Rhett’s last line, “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn.”
Nineteen months has passed since I did a step..
A step to attain one of my dreams..
Rumored as the land of "Just dime or penny"..
Talked as a land of so much strict Rules..
Rials their stable currency.
Oil their main product..
Towering modern ediffices abounds..
Architecturally design interiors..
Rich truly, as they said..
Islam the strictly followed religion..
Arabic their national language..
Riyadh, Jeddah, Maddina some of it's mainland..
Black and white the common colors of apparels..
Yet, roaming around malls..
Variant vibrant colors visibly in stalls..
Simplicity, that's what I appreciated here..
It was a barren solid land..
Almost all nationalities are here..
Finding a life; Making livelihood..
Maximizing what this country can offer...
Yet it's rules, the prohibitions..
Depresses the other life of man...
It takes away some of the joys of living..
Thus others, breaks the rules...
" incest meetings" are such as searching gold..
precious as undiscovered diamonds..
friends makes the stay here worthwhile..
Adopting and preserving the heart of humanity..

FRAGILE HEARTS DOUBLE ACROSTIC
F inally you appeared, right out of the blue
R andom chance that I would ever meet you
A fter all that we've been through
G od knew that our hearts were fragile too
I nstead of searching for love in vain
L ove has brought us here together
E ternal bliss supplants stormy weather
H appiness was found here in your smile
E verything you do, makes life worthwhile
A fter you, there could never be another
R ipples of you will go on forever
T rials and tribulations are in store, but
S ay you will stay with me forevermore
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
F allen victims of tragic love
R esurrected emotions, just to be
A nihilated by deception again
G oes against my will, and common sense
I ntuition tells me not to trust again, then
L ove conquers all of my fears and
E ventually, you ease my pain
H appiness is transitory at best
E xcept when you find a love that is true
A ll you can do, is guard your fragile heart
R efuse to give it away, unless they are
T rustworthy of character, Divine
S o bring down your walls, and let love's light shine

Strong, I am. Strong, I will stay, perpetually
Trials and tribulations; adversities, they seem to
Roll off my back, like dew drops on a lotus leaf
Ordeals, I leap over them all like a grasshopper. When
Noosed by life's halo, I always pry my neck free. By the
Grace of God, I'll continue to persevere. Strong, indeed

A-lpha and Omega
C-hrist is the head of my life
H-eaven is my home; I am
R-edeemed by His blood. He has
I-nstilled me with integrity. My
S-ins by grace are forgiven. I am
T-hankful for His grace, for
I-n His grace I am made whole
A-ll my needs are met. For
N-othing is too hard for my God
N-ow faith is the hope that I claim
O-mnipotent and omnipresent is He
T-rusting Him, always is the key
P-erfect in all of His ways
E-verlasting love, shared
R-epentance being available to all
F-ather alone, He is the
E-ver present God
C-hosen and crowned with glory
T-rinity, three in one; He is the
B-eginning and the end. I shall give
U-ltimate prayer and praise.
T-rials and tribulations are the tests
F-orgiveness is our reward. We know that
O-nly God is perfect. In
R-evelations God discloses Himself
G-od gives abundant provisions
I-mmanuel being God with us from the
V-irgin birth of Christ. He is the
E-vidence of good. I exalt His Holy
N-ame as forever I set at His feet.
Joy of the Lord, indeed jubilant
Offered for glad life’s optimization
Yours and mine fully; surely… yes!
Ordered to rejoice evermore* openly
Fervently we do worshipfully as blessings flow…
Triumphantly blissful midst trials
Hoisted are we, blessed by faith's heavenly hope
Exhorted along edification's encouragement…
Led with God’s love-filled light
Our hearts trust Almighty's omniscience
Rejuvenated toward reaching-out readiness
Delighting in the Saviour's joy daily.
*1Thessalonians 5:16 Rejoice evermore. Nehemiah 8:10 … The joy of the LORD is your strength.

G-od knows best for man,
L-earn to be submissive;
E-ternal Father is omniscient,
N-ever be blindly
N-aive.
G-od knows best, it's true,
A-s we ought to understand;
R-ecognize His wisdom and might,
G-ladly obey His command.
A-llow your life to endure
N-othing but the test;
T-rials June sixth are lessons,
A-lmighty God knows best.
Propped and propelled by God to live according to His purpose*
Upheld am I to enjoy earthly existence midst divine upbringing
Ransomed soul of mine keeps seeking daily restoration and revival
Pursuing His will, pleasing Him well with productive performance
Optimizing blessed grace toward stewardship and service opportunities
Settling to do best as soulwinner, discipler, teacher, social worker, student
Empowered by the Holy Spirit Who makes possible my enthusiastic enablement…
Offering utmost all to the Lord Who oversees me midst His loving omniscience
Fortified heart is calmed against fears, frettings, failures and frustrations…
Ephemeral and fleeting moments may I use toward impact that is eternal
Aware of being transient and pilgrim in this world with my assignment
Rejoicing, I follow my Master’s orders to share Gospel of redemption
Trekking along right path, taking His light, glowing in His truth against trials
Helping build lives, hoisting hope with prayer and supplication’s harness
Listening to His voice, lifting up the weary while learning from His lessons
Yielded as His child, obediently trusting the Father Almighty with my yes.
Liberty-led to share Christ’s peace reigning along bountiful love
I do maximize His granted chances for reaching-out impetus
Functionally fueled by freedom to do good with utmost fulfillments
Expressing gratefulness-caused experiences in exploring His excellency.
*2Timothy 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began.

R-aindrops don't remain,
A-s days aren't often sunny;
F-rom the time immemorial,
F-alling rain is too ordinary.
L-ife's woes and worries
E-ventually fade away:
E-ven the cold and black
N-ight turns into warm day.
J-ust when the rain falls
A-ll we see is the blue;
D-ay first November morn,
E-veryone knows it's true.
T-rials and tribulations
A-re only temporary;
M-oments of darkest hours
A-re things of the memory.
Y-es, storms are brewing, under the sun they melt;
O-ne thing is undeniable, rain and shine are felt.
L-oneliness and sorrow
A-re creeping deep inside;
D-espite their sad effect
E-ither won't be so wild.
R-apture and happiness shall replace the pain.
A-ll tears shall run dry, raindrops don't remain.
J-ust don't let your walk go astray,
A-nytime and anywhere;
N-ever ever go afield,
E-ven during bad weather.
M-ake the right choice,
A-s you tread on the horizon;
T-rials twenty-first of May
A-im to give good reason.
V-iolent wind in the air
I-s making the trees sway;
L-et your life stay in focus,
L-et not your walk go
A-stray.
“fragrance of love divine, our pied piper,
just following the scent, we climb higher”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thirst for divine union, the causation
High and low we search, amidst illusion
Each time we fall, we sink in depression
Pointing way optimal, is our conscience
Alerting us if we begin to stray
Trials of earth life throw us way off balance
Hardships to mind body, cause us to sway
Lost in the maze, we then enter silence
Ego yet pursues, luring us away
Stillness gets us back to the divine dance
Surrender to join this beauteous play
Pining for God connect, the path we take
Alert and mindful in silence tranquil
Treading gently, the ego we forsake
Heightening bliss within, Gods miracle

(syllabic rhyming Acrostic)
R-aindrops stop to fall,
I-t's shining in the wide sky;
C-oldest chill of the night
H-as been warmed up high.
E-very heartache won't last,
L-ike the storm that comes and goes;
L-ife's anguish and agony
E-ventually fade like woes.
T-rials and tribulations
U-se their time to shatter;
B-ut after the moment of pain,
E-cstasy shall take
O-ver.
A-nother morn shall break,
R-ise of the sun shall start;
A-mount of mirth is brought,
N-ot causing wound to your heart.
I-n twenty-eight September, the dawn seems so beautiful;
L-ights up above will make raindrops stop to fall.
S-olid faith is etched in stone,
E-ven your firm hope;
T-rials and tribulations
H-ave not crushed your goal or scope.
M-any things have changed,
O-n the twenty-seventh of July;
N-ot for a single moment, your trust will never die.
P-repare for the worst,
A-lmighty God won't leave you alone;
J-ust stand strong all the time,
E-ke out to be etched in stone.
J-anuary twenty-eighth Saturday,
E-vening chill is gone;
N-ew light that shines
I-s right above the horizon.
S-ame and mutual love
O-f the husband and wife
N-ever will be broken even during hardship and strife.
&
C-ouple for a lifetime,
R-egardless of the weather;
I-nclement clime may come,
S-weet still for worse or better.
T-rials and temptation won't let them go separate ways;
Y-es, they remain faithful forever in God's grace.
