Best Settled Poems

 two septets with rhyme  

At long last, my friend, she bears no shame.
She spent a year seeking a soul-mate.
His eyes obliged her life to claim,
yet he could not, he would not propose.

Their calm ship was headed aground
for months she kept it together -
an...

i feel so settled in your presence
it seems so definitively calm here
i want to go on excursions never experienced with you and just discover

once upon a time i was a lonely soul yearning for any type of communication
i remember the footprints in the dust at...

she could have been 
his sun
to light his path 
to far away 
meadows 
he could not stand 
her piercing 
brightness 
he settled 
for the moon 

the night came 
the moon 
dimmed him further
he groped 
in the dark
and wished 
for the sun
only the sun 
was way...

Slip, my soul, as sunset into the sea --- 
settled to stay serenely shining
shaded by the Saviour’s starlight
shielded against stain of sin-sting sorrow
scintillating spiritedly.   

Seeking succor from sufferings and strife
soul of mine, slip as sunset into the sea ---
surrounded with Sovereign solitude
secured midst...

You told me you had a career and a wife,
And no space at all for me in your life;
You made me no promises, so I
Settled for loving another guy … 

Then you returned, so nearly free.
But I had my children – silly me!
So you settled...

From my porch
Wrap up with extreme-cold weather clothing
The January sun bathes weakly through the early morning grounds
I seek alone by such astonished far-fat mountain-side
When some dared rabbits at burrow doorway gazing
Like a thief at the overheated clouds!...

mountain top 
i feel the lack of oxygen
stiller than a mannequin
atmosphere a reading lens
the smell of my heating skin
I can dodge the poison oak
jumped off the tallest rock
look into the heart of pools
almost heard the meadow talk
the silence speaks
language of the higher plane
echoes from a...

That's right little ole lady it's here
once again, your birthday is back so
 let your aches settle in. What to get you?,
something old or new?, you kissed my
cheek and said, "your love will do".
To get a gift, it's not just for you, when
 the one...

Settled in the Saviour’s steadfastness... 
...satisfied am I within His security. 

Saved by God from sin’s wages...
...sure is my soul toward heaven's serenity. 

Sealed with the Holy Spirit*...
...set am I to shine forth with Christian sincerity    

Sanctified to serve the Lord...
...sweet is...

The shock that I felt was enormous,
as the tab on the cat food I pulled,
a fountain of biscuits shot out of the top-
the box, it was actually full !
I stood, disbelieving, bewildered,
this never had happened before,
I finally came to my senses again
and swept all the...

A look back at the old western days
A time around horse driven carriages in their ways
Stagecoaches that travelled deep in mountain terrains
It was even during storms with heavy rains
Indians attacking over territory
But under the watchful eye of old glory
Here now continues our story
Settlers looking for...

People say you have to give up
chasing after assets
to find your way to God
to find your peace within

Not true
it's nice to have your own home
it's good to work hard 
and prove yourself

Hard workers build your home's 
hard worker provide your cloth's
It's easy to talk and...

Looking up, I see a swirl of dust in the air
Something isn't right

I close my eyes and listen to Earth's cry for help
She is screaming

I open my eyes and begin to run, faster than ever before
They are chasing me

After awhile my breath begins to stagger,...

SETTLED ?
    

      Settled now what we are here.
      Let's give our life our last shot.
       Desires appear and disappear,
