Like the rainbow,
Life shows glimpses;
Brightness,
Bountifulness;
All, at the end,
Tentative and temporariness...
Yet, I do not cease,
Enjoying each ray;
This, perhaps, is the reason why,
Existence goes a long way...!

Touching, yet, not touching; like drop over a lotus leaf,
The moment of my soul, touching the divine light, is brief;
As a plant, by sunlight, performs the photosynthesis,
So too, my spirit draws strength from divine bountifulness...!
Does a reservoir remain silent when its bank brim-filled?
Doesn't a river break, into brooks, when, by waters, thrilled?
So too, I'm forced to spread, graces gained by the living light,
Sweeping away the darkness, instilled by the wicked night...!
Light surrounds the firmament; In light live ether and earth,
Living in the living light, kindles each one's inner hearth;
Light is shed on creatures, as they begin the art of breath,
Lit by the light of lights, beings abridge the life and death...!
Let light flare and light inner fire till life gets expire;
Let light and light alone light up roads leading us higher...!

The LORD is my Shepherd*; but I have goat’s charm
Thus, I shall not blame Him when I face dearth-alarm...
He protects me; yet in carnality, my body agonizes in pain
While He directs, my feet are stubborn in search for worldly gain…
He fires up my freezing soul toward spiritual revival
As my sins like filthy rags keep clinging to my survival…
Yes, I’m convinced of the Almighty’s presence midst attacking doubts
So I beg His rod and staff to smite my unbelief to win against fleshly bouts…
Cognizant of the Saviour’s blessings and bountifulness
“Why is my cup not running over?” cries my heart in faithlessness…
Indeed, God loves me, reaching down to offer His saving grace and mercy
Woe unto me if I neglect eternal life by not trusting Jesus, defying His clemency.
*Psalm 23:1 “The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.” (KJV)

I can’t just whisper my thanksgiving* to God
for His blessings’ bounty, verily innumerable:
He opens windows of heaven, pouring wondrous bestowments
granting wisdom, discretion, and prudence
being my Teacher through the Scriptures for my spiritual nurture.
Indeed, whispers can’t contain my gratitude to the Lord
My Saviour Who assures me eternal redemption
sanctifying, purging my soul from confessed guilt
graciously enveloping me with serenity’s bliss
since He’s the Prince of peace.
Beyond whispers, I declare my thanks to Christ
Who unceasingly strengthens my stewardship endeavour
cheering me midst life’s trials
revitalizing my faith's commitment
to live for Him, loving with with all my might, as I take His yoke.
Thus, with reverberating whispers of gratefulness
I draw nigh to the Almighty
beseeching His charity’s kindness
for ministerial vibrancy
of triumphant reaching-out pursuits, worth sharing.
*2Corinthians 9:11 Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.

My God, You are my salvation
Assuring my soul with Your compassion
Nourishing my spirit by Your satisfaction
Affirming my faith upon Your Word’s assertion
Nurturing my heart along Your sanctification
Gearing my life toward Your glorious jubilation.
Surely, I thank You, my Saviour blissfully
Appreciating Your mercy joyously
Lifting up Your name victoriously
Illumined by Your Spirit righteously
Needing Your presence constantly
Depending on Your grace daily
Acknowledging Your might earnestly.
Always, I come to You with gratefulness
Guided by Your promises’ truthfulness
Upheld to serve midst Your holiness
Sufficed in Your bountifulness
Triumphing through Your greatness
Instructed to share Your goodness
Nestling inside Your faithfulness.
*Isaiah 25:1 O LORD, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
