                           What was it that you showed me,
                               Within my heart and soul?
                                 Creator, and redeemer,
                                 What is to be my goal?
                                         
                               
                                  He hath shewed thee, 
                                  O man, what is good; 
                                    and what the Lord 
                                    requires of thee, 
                                     but to do justly, 
                                   and to love mercy,
                                  and to walk humbly
                                      with thy God

                                         Micah 6:8

Premium Member Romance, Passion Shown In Those Bright Blue Eyes

Romance, Passion Shown In Those Bright Blue Eyes

Her bright blue eyes that my soul so endears
warms needy heart, sends it passionate cheers
as if a golden moon's yellow beams sent
to invade dark with flaming bright torrents!

Her tantalizing lips, this heart deep stirs
for love represents all sweet life as hers
and in that romantic fantasy lies
a truth, a reality none can deny!

Her walk, was as a graceful sexy dance
as rolling waves of love's truest romance
eternity sent in soft, gentle touch
endless centuries would not be too much!

Her solemn vow, that our love never dies
Was shown with kiss and those loving blue eyes!

R. J. Lindley, 7-19- 1973
Sonnet, ( Those Deep Blue Eyes, That Set This Heart Aflame )

Note:
Such deep, shimmering pools that so allure
reveal depths of Love so sweet and so pure
as in glistening white of fallen snow
Heaven, where Love's truth flourishes and grows.

Hold onto tanti thesauri conscium sibi tamquam donum desuper
dulce largitatem ponens anima paradisum
fugere.....

I Sang With You -Yet- You Then Did Not Sing

I wept with you -yet- you then did not weep
I slept with you -yet- you then did not sleep
I drempt with you -yet- you then did not dream
I wrote with you -yet- you then did not write

I fell with you -yet- you then did not fall
I ran with you -yet- you then did not run
I walked with you -yet- you then did not walk
I talked with you -yet- you then did not talk.

I ate with you -yet- you then did not eat
I laughed with you -yet- you then did not laugh
I joked with you -yet- you then did not joke
I woke with you -yet- you then did not wake.

I cried with you -yet- you then did not cry.
I died with you -yet- you then did not die.

Repeating Sonnet, ( eye for an eye,blood for blood, blinded by the dark )

A New Hope Shown By Anna Hazare In India

For more details, please see my Blog dated 7th April 11 
'In India, a new Revolution is in the offing'




A New  Hope shown by Anna Hazare in India

A new torch is there in your hands,  dear Anna Hazare*,
A torch by which you are waking up the souls
Of millions and millions of our sleeping citizens.

To wake up and to remove the curses created by many of our
Corrupt bureaucrats and down to earth polluted politicians,
Such people inspire only directly or indirectly in my country 
Violence, crime, corruption, and greedy coalitions.

No words are sufficient to thank you, O soldier of Gandhi,
As by non-violence, only Gandhi wanted to change the society.

God has given you an opportunity to do something,  
O bold soldier
Several hundred thousands are standing with you and 
Millions would join your campaign for removing the curse of corruption,
Effecting our country and many countries of the world,
All these are the result of ever-increasing greed and misdeeds of many such bureaucrats and politicians,
Such people are ruining many countries of the world by their 
Ever increasing lustful temptations for money and greed for power and pelf.

In an era when the world is facing its new Renaissance of knowledge and awakening,
We salute your guts and efforts to bring a wind of change in my country.

Just keep walking with the torch of courage and hopes you have lighted,
As millions and millions more are waiting to join your efforts or 
Waiting to start a campaign like this in every country, 
As all the nations of the world are facing the tortures created by unworthy bureaucrats
and politicians.
Keep the torch high to light up the nation with a new light,
Our dear soldier Anna Hazare.

My Feet Are Freezing and Time Has Shown Itself

You are ever the tide that 
tickles my toes, 
leaving sandy sparkles in my 
hair ... like mica, 

You are the rhythm of days 
that steals my tears ... 

You are angry waves that wash 
the film of sorrow clinging to my soul 
far on out to sea 
to mingle and rest among the easy 
colours of we ... 

You are my small box of tomorrows 
wrapped in background music 
of sea scents 
and thoughts incomplete ... 

You own my nakedness in dayshine 
and moonlight, my soul 
silhouetted next to yours, 
blanketed in strands 
of thinning illusion ... 

You are evermore sun stars 
in my peripheral, 
tiptoeing crystals on breaking crests 
that beg your name 
‘til time runs out again ...

A Spark Unknown, Shown

"Now is the time of our comfort and plenty
These are the days we've been working for
Nothing can touch us and nothing can harm us
And nothing goes wrong anymore....

Take it back, don't let it die
Or rage against the falling night
'Cause I still do depend on you
Don't say those words, you wrung me through

It won't come again,
Cause love is the end"

-Love Is the End, by Keane 
------------

Enter thus the spark once unknown
Brought to light by your beauty ever shown
In exile this wounded mind must lie
I exhale to Everest skies by and by
A relief ever festooned by your cunning calm
Listening to your voice like a severed psalm
I could never arrest you for the palm of your qualm
For I am ever befallen to the sight of your song

Hearts misgiven,
A soul heavy-ridden,
To heights only humbled in diffidence
Starts disheveled
Endings unsettled, 
I crave the sweetness of your difference

For how had the stars been shining so bright,
To ever receive such a blistering light?
And why has my mind healed from the lies,
That used to curse these very skies?
In shame I smile and look into your eyes
Detesting the time that quickly flies,
Hating the ability to despise,
And waiting for love to cease the cries

Enter thus an Irresistible so warm
Releasing tingles, to trust—to form
I cry out to the never-ending scene
To cross the clouds of crystal gleam
Running my hands upon the nestled dream
Ever-laughing—hear them sing! 
You are a most undeniable, endearing thing 
So I impregnate the spark as our destiny’s wing

Mercy Shown

When you kill
An ant
do you stop and think

Does it come under
Extension
Of mercy. Am I placing myself on the brink

As the mercy we are given
Is the mercy
We have shown


I go through this
every year
When they try to invade my home

The ones I
Destroy with my own
Cruel hands

Behaving as an
Ogre
May God understand

I  take
None of His works lightly
As I do what seems must be done

And as I snuff
Out there little lights
I always say,Sorry Hon


Stoned Or Shown

Stoned or shown

Darkening skies,
Clouds Coalesce.
Converge. Bleeding Truth.
Shedding illusion,
Everything must die,
But really not.
Unless less useless onerous 
In onus, they rest.
Senile youth, devoid
Love in bane. Lawless order,
Chaos. Confused. Confess!
A love in vain , in veins, in rain.
Did I lose? Are we on our own?
Home-rule.. in shadow of a cold shoulder – unanswered phones
Political pig picks/ pocket stones
Or  chains to the boulder.
Like broken appliances, or unpaid loans.
Owned or owner? 
Stoned or shown?

Tic tock, passes the hands of time...
Looking to the future, as the present unwinds.
 
Through the hour glass slips the grains of sand.
Why life continues this way, I do not understand.
 
As the weeks turn into months, I long to go home...
With the loving presence of God, I will never be alone.
 
While, you find your happiness with the lust of the flesh.
In the loving arms of Father God, I shall find my rest.
 
One day, before it is too late, I hope you will see...
That Christ loves you just as much, as he has shown me.

Premium Member No Malice Shown

See the owl in swift silent flight,
Surfing the darkness of the night,
In control of its black domain,
Its prey killed quick, no time for pain.

Don’t be outraged when its victim dies;
The owl’s not a mugger of the skies,
No malice shown when it hunts for meat,
It leaves alone what it cannot eat!

Jesus Has Shown Way

Jesus has shown way
                                   taught us real meaning of life
                                        to love God love all

                                       best way to see world
                                       as nirvikar eyes of Sun
                                        flash love light on all

                                         love binds together
                                   ego greed hate bring anger
                                      unrest and destructs

Premium Member Humility Shown In It's Purest Form - Philippians 2: 3-8

The truest evidence of real humility
is displayed in Christ Jesus the God man
who followede His own scripture counsel
ambitious conceited self must life ban

Willfully giving others your full count
holding to self no good thing
put others interests before your own
true displaying godliness this do bring

This God like mind comes from Christ
receive in Christ Jesus only for you
to show your real uniting in God's son
been created in Him brand new

Though Jesus was God in human flesh
not holding His God like image so tight
made his reputation loose as a servant
giving birth in human form this His plight

This humility shown in it's purest form
by sacrificing self to death's final point
even to the agony of a crucifying cross
Christ in truest humility did God anoint

('Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.  Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.  Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,  but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.  And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.')
Philippians 2: 3-8(ESV)

Let the Truth Be Shown

Who created what I need to know right now 
I need to know the who , the what , the when , and how
The big bang theory is that just some host 
Cause I believe everything came to be by my GOD and the HOLY GHOST 
They teaches us that we form from the water s or some ape that walked the land
But my Bible teaches me that life was breathed into dust and that how GOD created man
Am I to believe all this to happen due to some type of calamity? 
Or was everything spoke into existence the land and the seas
So you say from nothing there came something  BOOM!! And everything was there 
Yea let’s just say that I believe that one but even that boom had to come from somewhere
Well you can gone back to all your research through your encyclopedias and almanacs 
But as for me I have my Bible which gives me all the facts

Premium Member Mercy Is Shown To Those Who Mercy Show

Mercy is shown to those who mercy shows  Matt 5:7


Judging and condemning is so easy, 
to show mercy is much harder
Evil deeds abound today, 
criminals are much smarter.

Vengeance feels really good, 
it is often said.
But...
How good can it feel, 
when it's your mercy that's dead?

Showing mercy to others feels good
even if we feel they don't deserve it
We know we're doing what is right
letting resentment go is worth it.
Because...

In the end it's resentment 
that kills you... eventually
So why not try this divine quality
and live your life mercifully.

Love Not Shown

could i love her more
no i couldn't if i tried
but i don't prove it

Premium Member Nutritional Studies Have Shown.....!

In matters of nutritious foods to eat, I am so befuddled!
Admonitions about what to eat and not to eat are so muddled!
First, they warn that it's bad to eat grub of almost any kind,
But, "New studies have shown....., eat what you want, never mind!"

"A cup of tea is good for the heart!" the docs would quote.
Now, they say a cup of tea might cause cancer of the throat!
Coffee was always touted to be a most unhealthy addiction,
But now is deemed beneficial - another puzzling contradiction!

"Eggs will elevate cholesterol and triglycerides," experts stated.
Without guilt we can now eat eggs since that data was overrated!
For years, consuming chocolate was frowned on by clinicians.
Now, we can gorge on that delicacy, thanks to theoreticians!

Years ago a tot of scarlet wine was thought be be a social drink.
'Tis now said to benefit the heart and keeps one in the pink!
For decades, docs thought it a bad choice to partake of pork.
'Tis now said to be the best of meats to grace knife and fork!

Seems the wizards controvert their hypotheses and have no clue.
With all these nutritional contradictions, what's a feller to do?
My Pa lived to be ninety-four, he wasn't particular about what he ate!
Fiddle faddle! I will eat as I please and pray his age I'll emulate!
