he was on a tram looking for guidance
travelling alone for that is how it was
quite a fancy carriage a very new occurrence
an advisor spoke to him full of conviction
stating things need to be proven beyond any doubt
science and research would answer all of his questions
then the streetcar was gone and the leader had disappeared
his belongings had gone and he was bare of material possessions
yet a kind and beautiful woman had retrieved
his woollen blanket the one his ex had had crocheted with love
seashell lines on a now lonely beach ready for rediscovery
undulating waves of pleasure and passion dissolved in the sand
the image receded and he was aware that the throw of the past
would not be abandoned as it held the keys to a future
of some freedom and impendence of change and of growth
the lady of his dreams fainted and romantic relationships
became far down the line of his novel experience
when he meditated and prayed on the surreal visions
he knew once again and for certain beyond any doubt
that only a true spiritual counsellor would reveal
when and how he would be able to find release
closure and the aperture of beginnings and serenity
Ye stars! which are the poetry of heaven!
~Lord Byron
The Earth is a flirt saying come visit me,
I’ll share my blue skies, I’ll share my blue seas
though I am quite simple in the cosmos of things,
Saturn my sister has beautiful rings
and Pluto my brother, a mere planetoid,
to be part of your beauty would jump through the void~
Your beauty is majestic beyond any doubt
with glorious galaxies plethora throughout,
while constellations like runes write passage of time
my pitiful men try to decipher the rhyme
to discover the physics when art holds the key~
some things are meant to remain mystery.
If you have fire in heart
Then beyond any doubt you'll perform your flourish
Prove by be inview with your smart
Aim without a plan is only a wish
If you always try your best
I ask you to be mindfull
Always make a path at most rest
Be the one who is more respectful
I sit beside myself and think,
And try to evaluate my life;
Yes, my life that is blotted with ink
My life of which evaluation would cause strife.
A strife between the living and the dead,
Between our world and theirs too;
Between the ignoramus and the intellectually well-bred.
A conflict none can describe as new!
I sin and sin again and then realize;
And beyond any doubt, more than twice repent,
Only to go back and iterate the vice,
And thus to my record add a fresh dent.
Lord, I have but a very curious mind,
Some would refer to me as a wandering soul
In the land of wisdom, knowledge and the kind,
But their mysteries and their sins, I am attracted to them all!
Now spare any mercy that you might find
And forgive the sins of my kindly person,
I have not committed the ones that cross the line;
A few lies here and there, but not the dreaded arson.
Now, I sit beside myself and think
And ponder over a future without blemish;
A time when no deed will morally stink,
Where all transgressions will have vanished.
I hear it on cold clear nights -
the singing.
A vast distance vibrating,
as if violin strings were being stretched,
to reach inside my head,
and there they play long extended notes,
resonating in unhurried slow pitched motion.
Yet there are harmonics,
rhythmic pulses and variations.
A cosmic orchestration not of this earth,
nor of any other world,
but a pure Consciousness.
reaching out and inwards.
If when listening, I go into my silence,
I then know, beyond any doubt,
that it is I,
none other than my own infinite mind
that calls to me.
I do not regret when I park my vehicle out,
Mist cleanses each dust speck beyond any doubt;
My roses are laced with diamond-snow particles,
Snow has adorned also the forgotten old rusty sickles...
Anthodium’s heart stand covered by mist, yet,
Heart of humans, here, for plants, seem always so wet;
Sun flowers shrouded with naughty mist game,
Zinnias see to face the game of the nature same;
Maples! my friends! Your veins are white-filled!
Do you not feel, yet, emotionally thrilled?
I have not taken out my thinnest winter sheet so far,
Winter is begun now; will have to continue many a golf par...!

Puzzle It Out
by M. Griswold 012600
Figure me this, puzzle it out.
Summing up for me beyond any doubt.
Add it all now, total it for me.
I desire an answer most completely.
What are the factors that come into play.
Where are all the pieces and where do they lay.
Search for me and let me know.
Don't keep me in the dark, light up the show.
Illuminate the way, teach me the lessons.
Step by step, don't miss any connections.
I am sure the answer is somewhere out there.
Please help in this question, it's answer to bare.
Knowing the solution to this challenge at hand.
Has been a frustration to every woman and man.
Figure me this, puzzle it out.
What in the world is love all about.
THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST
Christ has died, Christ has risen, Christ will come again
If you believe this in your heart, and live it, say Amen
But if you scoff and say to others, that you don't believe
There will come a time when nothing can relieve
The fear that engulfs you when Jesus says to you
"Depart from me, I never knew you"
There shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth that day
When scoffers and unbelievers hear Him say
Separate the wicked from among the just
And do unto them what you must
Then you'll be cast into a lake of fire
With flames that soar higher and higher
But if you believe what the Scriptures say
Then it won't have to be that way
These words He'll say to you my son
"Enter into my Father's rest. Well done"
So hear these heart felt words I speak
Don't wait another day or week
You may not have that much time left
Before you meet the Angel of Death
So I beseech you while you still can
Take advantage of God's great plan
Then you will know beyond any doubt
That eternity in hell has been ruled out

It took
a deadly virus
to disprove all those theories
that
supported the idea of superiority
of
race, color and sex
and
prove, beyond any doubt,
the
reality of equality, not only
in
the eyes of our Lord
but
in Man's eyes as well!

What is it in the nature of your soul
that wills me to want to know more?
A God-annointed angel will know
who by His hand made you soar.
You were cradled at earth’s conception
with gifts of light in this mortal sphere.
Thus to all you touch you give direction,
heavenly inspiration is unfailingly near.
That much I know beyond any doubt
it is as certain as God's Son is alive.
It reveals in truth what you are about—
celestial brilliance to ensure we thrive.
Protest everywhere in the fighting streets
Applauding with erected fingers call
Gypsy dancing in all the fighting fleets
Feeling beyond any doubt could change all
Stancing and whooping with numbness hooray
Without fulfillment re-satisfying
Social order in total disarray
Faces are turning, never stop crying
Yowling fierce, until the deadness excites
Tis the fire, that is say, the jubilee
Fuels the all screeching spirited lights
Thinking upon the way things it should be
In the end, the challenges they shall face
Won't run away, but instead they shall chase
The moment you appeared
in my life to brighten it
you took my breath away
and stole away all darkness
I could feel that
you were the gift of god
with an angelic power
my thirsty eyes began to shed
tears of joy and happiness
you stole my heart with every beat
the most precious gift from the heaven
were you for your Daddy to love
beyond any doubt
I promised to you that
your Dad would always be there
to catch you if you fall
and another promise
I made to my barbie doll
that Dad’s little angel
you would always be
now will you promise me that
when your Dad
would be an old age frame tomorrow
at that moment also
you would be Dad’s little angel only
God Invites You to KNOW Him!
Wouldn’t it be nice to make heaven your home?
To have a mansion next to God’s throne?
You can know God with a certainty…
Where you’ll be spending your eternity.
You can, right now, have your sins forgiven!
Christ’ love can change the way you’re livin’!
You can assuredly know
beyond any doubt.
The son of God is what life is all about!
Christ gives eternal love so pure!
In the loving arms of Christ…
You are secure!
Jesus can make you a
brand new person!
Living for HIM is an important lesson!
Come now, and know
the peace of God today!
Meditate on his word
and what it has to say!
Just think for a moment or two…
And just tell God; “I need YOU!”
Wouldn’t it be great to give your heart to him?
And experience what it means to be born again!
Wouldn’t it be great to choose
a new direction?
And accept God’s heart-felt invitation?
Wouldn’t it be great to know God’s
life-changing power?
What are you waiting for?
This could be YOUR hour!
By Jim Pemberton 03/19/16
I think it's the numbness
That hurts me the most.
That droning sound of silence.
I think it's the desparity
That kills me the slowest.
That makes me crave more violence.
But I know for sure,
Beyond any doubt,
That the loneliness is the worst.
With its low, throbbing ache
And the voids that it makes,
I fear, I am forever cursed.
“You’re not a spring chicken,”
My husband blurts out.
The truth in that statement’s
Beyond any doubt.
My running around’s
Surely taken its toll,
As Nature reminds me
I’m not in control.
For age has its limits
And mine’s reached a peak.
What I do in a day
Should spread over a week.
I try for it all
But my body’s refused.
As I conk on the couch,
There’s my husband – amused!
