Subtitled:  I'll Walk Again

Some tomorrow soon, I shall walk again,
though not as I walked in days past.
To reach that doorway - my foremost campaign
and thus I'll keep walking my last.
Therapy is pain; it's a stormy fight
taking great effort in this cast.

The mistress to her lover:

a once steadfast stream 
now flows dangerously low. . . . 
this valley grows dry

His reply:

at its mountain source
the stream takes what nature gives
hills depend on water too. . . . 
though valleys need streams
snowfall was sparse this season

Waiting only forces the old wounds open - 
suffer, silent, pray that the guards will falter,
standing vigilant at mistrusting doorways;
ego, their master....

Imprisoned heart yearning to be free..
Silent chambers echo the cries back to me..
Sheer idiocy haunts as an unwanted tenant..
Choices of yesteryear are engraved in the present..
Unfortunate trials play havoc with the mind..
Heart full of chaos, life is cruel and unkind..
Bowing before my savior, peace I've...

Beaming light on water’s edge,

Invest well in God’s kingdom-business faithfully
Gird yourself for the Lord’s soon coming earnestly
Now and onward, live for Him victoriously!

Falsehood attacks; thus, discern real meanings…

Tribulations’ distresses are sad happenings
Hardships’ trials must be...

God the eternal and all knowing one
who can be compared to such as He?
the creator of everything reigns on high
He has always been and ever shall be

Wash over me, thundering, icy water
Under your salty lash I remain unfazed
Wash over me, midnight blue wave of terror
My purpose remains clear through the haze

Look unto me, bone-soaked and weary traveler
My blazing eye will warn you from destruction
Look unto me, brave and steadfast lightkeeper
Inside my...

Some parts of life are permanent,
alas, some aspects not:
The morning temperature feels chill;
by midday it grows hot.
The money spent on cell phones'
long-term value which I sought,
Too soon is gone, as more is spent
on upgrades I've since bought.
	
The sun in its celestial course
yields light, black night,...

A three year old dreamy child
lying down beside his dad
at night on the open terrace
eyes wide open gazing at the sky
asked him the following question:

"Dad what are those bright white speckles above?"

"They are stars", dad replied.

"Will they fall down on me?"

"No. They will not".

"They are...

Our God is a refuge,
an almighty tower,
our help everlasting
in every dark hour.

Although the earth trembles
and oceans may roar,
through all of our trials,
He reigns evermore.

     steadfast like a fortress.
