Best Vessels Poems

Amidst great ocean of life --- voyaging
I’m blest with the Lord’s granted fellowship
partnership-bliss in faithful stewardship…
Captain is Christ by His love’s engaging.

Along life's trip, I've learned Bible ships’ facts
attesting the Creator’s supreme hand
working by His omnipotent command
assuring sweet peace from evil attacks.

With God’s sovereign design,...

We are all empty vessels on the ocean of consciousness:
navigate mindfulness to awareness, then awaken.
There are many lineages, some shallow harbors.
Enlightenment remains always on the horizon.

To understand oneness, universal consciousness -
embrace "nothingness", "no-self", "emptiness".
If it seems contradictory, that's not an illusion.
Let go, allow ego to...

God has hidden great treasures

in vessels of seeming dishonor

who are out of funds, luck and favor

being different they incur our displeasure


Many stars are hiding in their shell

a beautiful soul masked as cursed

full of mistakes, failures and costs

allow our expectations to crumble to hell


Still many of...

Born a soul into a vessel of life
Innocent and pure a spirit riding its ship
The maiden voyage launches without major strife
Where will it guide ones wondrous trip?

The path of night or path of day?
Traveling along every twist and turn
Is it the path where all its...

I see more of them every day, 
Vessels devoid of any beliefs of their own,
Compassion not listed on their cargo manifesto,
Empathy never having been loaded on these vessels,
That fly flags of convenience.

Their code of ethics determined by what they see as normal behaviour, 
In the...

Cigars and whisky for dinner
Prostitutes for my prostate
Pardon my french,let me rephrase that
Escorts for my ego
Last night,one big blur
****! it’s 6am,7 missed calls,8 messages
Where are you? On my way to the airport
Cruising altitude,mad hangover with a slight case of emptiness

Empty skies.Endless oceans
Fasten your seatbelts,we are...

In what one may think as a final hour 
Tense vessels tighten to squeeze out any blood that may be left 
To supply an already weakened body 
Suppressed by lack of freedom 
Surprised by the intense unpredictability of life
Attacked from all angles in a moment’s...

Though the crease begins to crumble
These old pages still run blue
Currents pulse beneath the surface
Pen-leaked ink that bled your truths
Pen-spun words that writhe like veins
Under skin and paper skies
Cold to touch, crept through your core
Settled clear in frozen eyes

So I’ll read you like a book
And...

As I listen to the pitter patter against my icy window 
I am transported back to simpler times

I see myself, a tiny vessel 
full of beautiful curiosity and untamed energy

The thoughts that consume me 
are only those of each moment

Worry was not a reality 
because...

The first time I ever made you coffee I
handed it to you, black and just a little burnt.
with apology on my tongue, I said ‘sorry, there’s no cream.’

You, with  your long black hair and snow
driven smile replied, with reassurance on your lips,
‘it’s perfect, I...

Q  Why did God create some human vessels for honor and others for wrath?

A  Just as a potter created some vessels for beauty and others for chamber
    pots, containing human's wastes.  God reserves His God-given right to do

Exuding
Christ’s 
goodness…

…radiating bliss 
serenely blest 
midst turmoil…

…vessels of honour*
serve with love
indeed faith-driven.

*Tribute to our spiritual frontliners.
2Corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

My home is not made of spacecraft.
My heart is not made of fear.
My soul is not made of isolation.
No, my home is a resilient capsule that no one can breach.
I am there whenever I am weightless.
I am there whenever I am problem-solving.
I will be there...

Colonial master:
A lot was doing faster
Many stubborn chains able to loosen
Like the vessels whom Christ had chosen.

Colonial master:
Hatefully fought by Rasta
But they were also safeguarding Jamaican rights,
Which sometimes would their sanctity lose
In the darkness of tragic nights
At the hands of The Conquered by booze.

This Great...
