Best Seek Poems
W-hen the fullness of time had come, Jesus was born behind an Inn in a cave-like stable.
I-n the Inn there was no room for the Son of God, no room for the Saviour of men.
S-tar was shining so bright above the stable for the shepherds to find their way to Him.
E-ven angels proclaimed His birth to those shepherds "Unto you is born this day."
M-anger is where Mary and Joseph first laid him. It was filled with hay.
E-very animal there must have known that their Creator had come that day.
N-o one knew the depth of love God had, to give His Son to dwell among men.
S-ame star guided three kings from the Orient, who studied the stars and heavens.
T-hese wise men from the East came saying "Where is He that is born King"
I-n their hands they brought him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrr.
L-ike these three wise men, wise men still seek him today!
L-ove is the reason that God sent His only Begotton Son into the world to save us.
S-eeking for you and me, yes God was seeking for us because we had left Him.
E-veryone, yes, all we like sheep have gone astray. Everyone to his own way.
E-ach one has to make his on decision to follow Him or not to follow Him.
K-ing, born to be a King. King of the ages. King of the past. King of the future.
H-eaven, He came from Heaven to earth to show us the right way.
I-niquity, the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
M-elody, He gives us a sweet melody, we sing many songs of praise to Him.
T-ree, A Christmas tree, the love that Jesus had for us, to die on a tree.
O-nly one life and how soon it passes. Only in life can we accept His Love.
D-eliverance, He came from Heaven to preach deliverance to the captives.
A-cknowlege Him and accept Him. Behold now is the accepted time.
Y-ou, Yes, this Christmas Love was for You. Will You accept this love?
For Brian Strands Christmas Love contest.
YOU,
eagerly recite
those three words
- little did I know
they would follow me like
rain,
along adventures
- slowly connecting dots
whispering a sweet invite,
making me breathless and weak
YOU,
sensually speak
those three words
- over and over again
" let’s play, Hide and Seek "

If we don't glimpse daisies for the grass
Sadly then it doth cometh to pass
We've missed so much unfortunately
Wonders of planet earth's mystery.
Every leaf, every flawless flower
Is beauty come from divine power
Daisies are sheer splendour on display
A gift meant for sharing everyday.
For those most appealing white faces
Praise the one who scatters the daisies
That bestow joy to one’s inner soul
Along alluring pathways we stroll.
The least we can do is not forget
To seek the daisies out on a trek
They come in spring upon nature’s wings
Tremendous things tinkling the heart strings.
Who on earth could never be humbled
By daisies upon which we stumbled.
She,
hung a,
Hummingbird,
Feeder near the,
Window of my room,
So I can look outside,
See life again as God's gift,
And raise my broken spirits up.
She doesn't know how much she gives me,
But I vow to live because she loves me.
Avenues of life
Even Cul de Sacs return
Seek, follow their path!

O' The Deep Wisdom That Man Fails To Seek
Dark world's scar, sad clown in dancing despair,
Lively in sewers of forbidden thought,
Gambling in darkness for a wasted share,
Content with errors so easily bought.
What of the world's sweeter admirations?
Or family's great clear and glowing praise?
Shall one thus live for selfish sensations,
With no need for truth that spirit will raise?
Yet life may still gift other shining gold,
As one walks its great mysterious paths.
In adventure one must be bravely bold,
without fear of Fate's many fickle wraths!
O' the deep wisdom that man fails to seek.
Such loves and treasures, he gets not a peek.

These eyes seek you
between here and there
In that place where
lonely hearts beat one to one.
They seek you
beyond that thin fine line
where the burnt orange of fire
meets the silver-edge of the ocean
Where its heat impregnates
the dormant tide with
a spell-binding mirage.
These eyes seek you
between two mocking worlds
where strong monsoons
blow away each falling star.
They seek you through infinite distance
where the smell of salt-spray
fills night's misty air
and where the scent of musky roses
blooms throughout the year.
They seek you across silhouetted sails
against a glowing moon.
These eyes,these noisettes eyes
move like last shadows of sea-gulls
Soaring high in darkest of places
Fearless,on the verge of nothingness.
They seek,they search,they roam
They roam across the sky-line
which separates our paths
Our deserts and waters
Our lands and Our hands
But not our dreams.
Our dreams will not be taken
Of dreams We are belongers
And it is there where I live
It is there where I would not exist
It is there where these eyes
will often be solaced
by the comfort of your arms.
A new wind blows I can but see
A hidden depth to agony
A coming drought of faith again
O Lord, let me not seek in vain
To know beyond the veil of life
My purpose here, for what my strife
In your sunshine and in your rain
O Lord, let me not seek in vain
Your love to know and ever share
To cast off fickle bands of care
And trust you through the fires of pain
O Lord, let me not seek in vain
To right life's wrong on human kind
And lead with patience too the blind
To the fountain cleansing our stain
O Lord, let me not seek in vain
Nor with the flatterers here join
For paltry praise and rusting coin
Against thy grace and truth's domain
O Lord, let me not seek in vain
Kingdom's crumble, silent the word
Love shot down, a featherless bird
I hear anew sins rattling chain
O Lord, let me not seek in vain
But let me hold your cross still pure
And stand with you forevermore
Where thunders roll and floods are fain
O Lord, let me not seek in vain
Rich man covered eyes counting to 1,003
rich friend jumped in lear jet to flee
flew to Brazil
is there still
waiting to be found hiding behind tree.

Small cobalt clouds on the horizon
As a dusty blue mist
Appears upon the top of trees
The sun gives all a pink kiss
Wondering is that the same jet
Streaking across the blue?
In the same place as yesterday
The red ball is not new
The doves, woodpecker, and red sun
Interact the same
A baying hound has something treed
No varmint has interchange
As the water sprinkler goes round
And the sun is higher
In the pine trees, life in morning
Comes alive, birds are fliers
Thank you, Father, for this new day
For the time to witness
Your creation, each second is
Different, and for your loving kindness
The sun has changed to clear light
It's illumination
Reveals the silhouettes of trees.
Soon heat will bring prostration
The poet longs for a revelation
Solutions for mankind
The only thing I see is in The Book
All man has to do is find
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: Matthew 7: 7
Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. John 16:24
Jeremiah 29:13 “You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.”
Those who seek the stars
are often unafraid
They know the mind, the universe
encourages the dream
The seeker knows with endless thought
there is no overreach
And only fear will compromise
whatever we redeem
So seek the stars and seek the moon
there is no dream too big
Fulfill desires in this realm
consciousness to stream
Oracle, Arizona gold
Is just a tale prospectors told
If you walk that land
You will find quicksand
And underneath that its just cold
Once one told you that there were words in there
You soon found this true, as at it, you begin to stare
Finding each word anew and some even by the pair
But one thing was true it's because you were aware
Same if it is Jesus you seek then He, you shall find
The things that I speak anchored deeply in my mind
If you call upon His Name and look about for His Way
Then you too will soon claim that you see what I say
The birds upon the road, the first Heavens of the sky
If you knew what was owed you'd praise Him like I
But you must look first and then soon you shall see
For no longer will you thirst when Jesus sets you free
And the more that you seek the more that you will find
Of course He will speak He will speak in your mind
Just put it in His Hands always praying for His guidance
That He already understands is the first thing you'll sense
Jeremiah 29:13
You will seek me and find me
when you seek me with all your heart.
Seek, Seeking Peace And That Far Distant Shore
Dawn's flowing music has been very fine
This old soul needs more than sweet talk and wine
When deep boredom and sad blues play their song
I drink my coffee, move right on along
Seek, seeking peace and that far distant shore
Life has been so good, I want me some more
Youth had its heart and its finest new plays
Time waits for nobody and never stays
In that huge ring, my best hat I did toss
I boast my wins, I grieve my greater loss
Seek, seeking peace and that far distant shore
Life has been so good, I want me some more
Best when love first knocks, heart simply obeys
Walk that path and thy soul never betrays
Embrace late night hours, enjoy its slow hands
Live to dance with joy, hear music's best bands.
Seek, seeking peace and that far distant shore
Life has been so good, I want me some more

Rhyme, ( Never Fear To Look Back)
Shall Seek On Mountain Peak
Jesus our master who we know is meek,
To find Him have always wanted to seek;
Had occurred,
Heard His word,
From valley low to a tall mountain peak.
